The War File Churchill's War DVD.

This is a region free DVD and can be played on any DVD player.



Winston Churchill succeeded to highest office amidst turbulent and

extroadinary events. In the early 30's, his powerful warnings about

dangers of Nazi fanaticism had been dismissed as alarmist: but by the

he became Prime Minister on the afternoon of May 10, 1940, his gri

forebodings had been proved all too true

Western Europe was a cauldron of war. That morning, German divisions

had poured irresistibly into Holland and Belgium, thrusting for the French

frontier.

The prospects for Britain and her new war leader were inconceivably

bleak. French intelligence estimated that Britain could withstand a German

onslaught for no more than 3 weeks. Hitler's forces had enjoyed unbroken,

astonishing success, and even the highest levels of power in London

thought Hitler could not be beaten.

Churchill alone never faltered, announcing to the British people that his:

was "Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror; victory

however long and hard the road may be

Given the circumstances, it was an extroadinary goal to set before the

exhausted nation. Yet what followed is history, from the defeat of the

mighty Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic against

the U-Boats to the annihilation of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front.

It is easy now, to criticise Churchill. Good commanders like Wavel were

treated unfairly by him. The ill-fated convoy PQ17, set sail to disaster at the

Prime Minister's insistence. But these decisions, at the time, were far from simple. And whatever Churchill's

failings, they are far outweighed by the splendour of his achievements. From the outset, he recognised the

Nazi regimen for what it was, and fought it unswervingly. His masterful oratory not only inspired a nation,

but kept priceless hope alive in the hearts of enslaved millions on the Continent.

In President Kennedy's words, "Churchill took the English language to war".

This video takes us through Churchill's War, using much newly discovered footage and featuring, where

nossible. original recordings of the great speeches.
