- Synopsis:
History presents this unique collection of documentaries as the world remembers the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. By the summer of 1940, many European nations had fallen to Hitler and his sights were set on Britain. The dictator ordered a devastating air attack on the nation; the British knew that to stop a Nazi land invasion they had to defeat them in the air. The Battle of Britain would be a turning point of the Second World War lasting 114 days; London was bombed unmercifully for 57 consecutive nights. During dramatic dogfights in the sky, the RAF - outnumbered, outnumbered and outgunned - valiantly defended their homeland. Winston Churchill famously said of them, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".
