Synopsis:
Battle Ground: Pacific Ocean More than any other weapon, the aircraft carrier made the war in the Pacific not only possible, but also winnable. Battle Ground: The Southwest Pacific The Southwest pacific was one of two theatres in the pacific region during WWII. Battle Ground: Wings Over Europe A very large part of success of Nazi Germany overtaking Europe was the German air force, the Luftwaffe. Battle Ground: The Battle of the Atlantic The conflict at seas between Allied merchant ships and their escorts and German U-boats, christened the Battle of the Atlantic. Battle Ground: North Africa and Italy The rise of Benito Mussolini, Operation Torch, the Sicilian Campaign, the Gustav Line, and the 1944 Battle of San Pietro. Battle Ground: The Battle of Britain In June of 1940, Nazi Germany having swept victoriously across Western Europe, was poised for an invasion of England. Battle Ground: The German Frontier By late 1944, the Western Allies were at the very borders of the Third Reich. Battle Ground: Axis Rising 1939 - 1941 In the years, leading to WWII, Germany, Japan and Italy embarked on campaigns aimed at the expansion of their empires Extra Feature: A Ship Is Born Battle Ground: Pacific Ocean At the outbreak of World War II, the United States possessed seven aircraft carriers and one escort carrier. Less than four years later, the number had grown to nearly 100. More than any other weapon, the aircraft carrier made the war in the Pacific not only possible, but also winnable. The Fast Carrier Task Force, which included warships of all description, became the main striking force of the United States Navy in the latter half of the Pacific War. By the time of the Battle for Leyte Gulf, it had already proved itself one of the most potent instruments in the history of naval warfare, obliterating Japanese air power, and sweeping enemy warships and merchant shipping from the seas, wherever it had ventured. Disc 1 Sea Power In The Pacific Beginning with Japanese aggression in Manchuria in 1931, this film provides an overview of the war in the Pacific, culminating with the nuclear annihilation for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Battle For Leyte Gulf Fought in the seas surrounding the Philippine island of Leyte from October 23 to october 26, 1944, the Battle for Leyte Gulf was the largest naval battle in modern history and the last major naval engagement of WWII. Air Power-Pacific Pattern The American drive across the Central Pacific relied on carrier-based air power. As the target softened, battleships would move in and begin to bombard the objective from the sea. Assault troops would then stage amphibious landings, covered by air strikes, and capture the objective. Once secured, naval construction battalions would move in and build or improve airstrips to provide permanent air cover. Silent Victory The heroic efforts of American submarines during the war in the Pacific are frequently overlooked, however, military historians fully agree that the submarine campaign recorded positive results disproportionate to its size and numbers. U.S. submarines crippled Japan's merchant marine, sinking 5.3 million tons, or over half of its ship, in the most successful campaign of the war. However, these accomplishments came at a price; 22 percent of submarine personnel died during the conflict, the highest of any American service. Disc 2 The Battle Of Midway On June 4-6, 1942, a large Japanese naval force attempted to capture Midway Island, but was surprised and defeated by U.S. forces in one of the Pacific war's most significant battles. On hand to document the action was a crew of naval photographers led by director John Ford. The Life And Death Of the USS Hornet The aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) enjoyed an eventful but relatively brief career during WWII. Notable for launching the Doolittle Raid and as a participant in the Battle Of Midway, Hornet succumbed to battle damage after the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. The Fighting Lady This Academy Award winning documentary follows the exploits of an unidentified Essex-class aircraft carrier from July 1943 to June 1944. The Fighting Lady and her crew participate in the assaults on Marcus, Kwajalein, Truk and Tinian, culminating with the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Kamikaze During the summer of 1944, a small group of Japanese pilots deliberately attempted to crash their planes into American ships participating in the invasion of Biak Island. For the Japanese, this first attack paved the way for a completely new way of fighting the Americans. However, only a small percentage of "Kamikazes" managed to reach their targets, those that did usually inflicted tremendous damage and casualties, making them one of the most feared and destructive weapons the U.S. Navy during the Second World War. Battle Ground: The Southwest pacific The Southwest pacific was one of two theatres in the pacific region during WWII. It included but was not limited to the Philippines, the Australian Territory of New Guinea (including the Bismarck Archipelago) and the western part of the Solomon Islands. Under the overall command of General Douglas MacArthur, US and Australian forces, along with smaller numbers of Dutch, Filipino and British soldiers, did battle against the Japanese in some of the most difficult terrain imaginable. As Allied strength grew on the land, sea and in the air, the tide of battle swung away from the Japanese. By the end of 1943, Allied air and naval superiority virtually assured an eventual victory. Disc 1 Battle For New Guinea New Guinea's terrain was some of the most forbidding in the South Pacific. its sheer size and lack of cartography made it a difficult campaign for both sides. Fighting in some parts of New Guinea continued until the war ended, in August 1945. Bismarck Sea Victory In early March 1943, planes of the Untied States Fifth Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) attacked a Japanese convoy carrying troops to Lae, New Guinea. Most of the task force was destroyed and Japanese manpower losses were extremely high. 5th Air Force Reports The Fifth Air Force provided the aerial spearhead for MacArthur's island hopping campaign, and were an integral part of the successful campaign to retake New Guinea and the Philippines. 6th Infantry At Maffin Bay The 6th Infantry Division of WWII holds the unchallenged record for consecutive days of continuous combat in the Pacific Theater, 219, set by the Division on the Island of Luzon, the Philippines. Prior to that, the Division's baptism of fire came in a battle at Maffin Bay, New Guinea, known as the battle for "Lone Tree Hill." It was to prove to be the bloodiest ten days in the entire New Guinea campaign. Mission to Rabaul Rabaul, on the island of New Britain, was Japan's most important forward base in the campaigns against New Guinea. Airfields ringed the base and the anchorage at Simpson Harbor bristled with Japanese warships. Land-based airpower from New Guinea made the reduction of Rabaul a primary goal. Disc 2 The Battle For New Britain This documentary chronicles the relentless and bloody 1943 Allied assault on the entrenched Japanese forces on Arawe Beach and Cape Gloucester, new Britain. Fortress In The Sea In 1942, the Battle for Corregidor was the culmination of the Japanese campaign for the conquest of the Philippines. Three years later, it was the final stage of General macArthur's triumphant "return" to the Philippines. Brought To Action The Battle of Leyte Gulf, fought in the seas surrounding the Philippines island of Leyte from October 23 to October 26, 1944, was the largest naval battle in modern history and the last major naval engagement of WWII. Battle Of Manila Fought by American, Filipino and Japanese forces, the Battle of Manila ended almost three years of Japanese military occupation in the Philippines and witnessed the worst urban fighting in the Pacific theater. Battle Ground: Wings Over Europe In the dark early days of WWII, Nazi Germany's military stunned the world with it blitzkrieg, quickly overtaking Europe. A very large part of their success was the German air force, the Luftwaffe. Their aircraft, superior in number and design to the Allies, controlled the skies, raining death and destruction from Poland to Great Britain. The Royal Air Force had to take to the skies and do battle with the Luftwaffe, until America entered the war, and were badly overmatched by the Nazi's Luftwaffe. In 1941, when Germany declared war on the United States, they awakened a sleeping giant. All across America factories turned to the production of war material, from tanks and troop ships to warplanes. The U.S. Army Air Force moved quickly to train as many pilots, bombardiers and navigators as possible, and in a surprisingly short time, the US and its Allies were taking the fight to the Nazis in the skies over Europe. This two DVD collection of documentaries from WWII takes you inside the air war in Europe. From the first B-17 missions over Germany to the final achievement of Allied air superiority over the Luftwaffe, these gripping films tell the story of the men and the machines that made victory in the sky possible. Disc 1 Target For Today This in-depth film takes you through the planning and execution of a bombing mission over Nazi held Europe. All elements of a successful mission are examined, from weather, communications, and maintenance to briefing, formation and bomb dropping. Real aviators who plan and carry out these dangerous missions let you tag along so you can witness what it took to get the bombers to their targets in the flack-filled skies over Germany. The Fight For The Sky In the early months of the air war over Europe, the B-17s were getting badly beat up by Nazi fighters. If they were to carry on, something would have to change. This is where the fighters come to the rescue; first the P-47, the the P-38, followed by the P-51. They pounced on the German fighters, driving them off the big bombers and sweeping them from the sky. Disc 2 The Exploits Of The 351st Clark Gable takes you on a behind the scenes look at one of the more famous B-17 bomber groups of the war in this rare color film. Watch as the crews of the 351st fly over to England to begin their tour of duty. See the pilots, navigators, gunners and bombardiers fly mission after mission against key industrial targets. Mission Accomplished This film is a record of the first all-American B-17 raid over Europe. Having served in the Pacific, the B-17s were now going to be put to use in the fight against Nazi Germany and nobody knew how they would fare against the full power and might of the German Luftwaffe. Ride along with the crew as they prove the worth of the rugged Flying Fortress and get the mission accomplished. A Day With The A-36s The A-36 was a variation of the P-51 Mustang modified with wing racks for dive bombing missions. Watch as these fearless pilots scream toward the ground knocking out key German strong points in Sicily. Wings For This Man This film takes a brief look at the great Tuskagee Airmen, the African-American fighter pilots who broke through stereotypes and prejudice to become heroes in the skies over Europe. The Bombing Of Germany Two pilots, one German, One American, relive the years of harrowing battles in the skies over Europe. Watch as the B-17s get ripped apart on their first missions and how the tide of the battle slowly sifts with the introduction of fighter escorts. See hoe the American fighters smash the German Luftwaffe allowing the devastating bombing campaign to finally bring the nazi war machine to a screeching halt. Battle Ground: The Battle of the Atlantic The conflict at seas between Allied merchant ships and their escorts and German U-boats, christened the Battle of the Atlantic by Winston Churchill, was the longest and arguably the most critical campaign of WWII. If Britain and fallen, there would have been no base for the western Allies to launch a strategic air offensive or a land invasion of the European mainland to defeat Germany. To survive, Britain needed imports of food, fuel and raw materials from overseas. The Germans used submarines (U-boats), mines, surface warships, armed merchant ships and aircraft during the battle, but it was the U-boats that posed the deadliest threat to Britain's survival. Disc 1 Wolfpacks While german panzer division race toward Warsaw, the powerful German navy prepares for an even greater struggle, the Battle of the Atlantic. Hitler hurls his U-boats into the Atlantic to sever the arteries that feed Britain. Even before the United States enters the war, the bottom of the Atlantic is a formidable cemetery of Allied ships. Atlantic Convoy In response to the attack on Pearl Harbor, U.S. industry and its armed forces mobilize in an all out effort to go to war. Yet, supply convoys bound from the United States are stalked by German U-boats. Getting supplies to their destinations safe will be a dominating factor throughout the war. The South Atlantic As war descends on Europe, Germany's surface force is vastly outnumbered, but the pride of the fleet is the incomparable Graf Spee, a pocket battleship combining maximum hitting power with the greatest possible speed. At the outbreak of war, her orders are to destroy and disrupt enemy merchant shipping by all possible means. Let any ship run about of her, and that ship is doomed. Commerce Raider In WWII, the German Navy challenged Allied maritime superiority by pursuing a strategy of economic warfare, called cruiser warfare (Kreuzerkrieg). While the primary agent for the execution of that strategy was the U-boat, Germany also employed ships disguised as noncombatant merchant vessels to attack enemy commerce. This segment combines veteran interviews and archival footage to tell the story of high seas piracy during WWII. The Mid-Ocean Gap As Hitler's U-boats harvest victory after victory in the Battle of the Atlantic, the massacre is costing the Allies millions of dollars and thousands of lives. To counteract enemy submarines, a ring of strategic air bases has been forged. In 600-mile sweeps, planes encompass the North Atlantic. But there is still a center ocean gap left uncovered by land based planes. Disc 2 Crisis In The Atlantic Since the outset of WWII, Britain's ultimate survival depended on the supply convoys linking her to the immense resources of Canada and the United States. By 1941, the U.S. Navy was playing an increasingly active role in this critical campaign. Atlantic Patrol The Royal Canadian Navy, which was tiny in 1939, began an amazing period of growth that eventually made it capable of bearing a substantial part of the fighting in the North Atlantic. This film focuses on the work of Canadian merchant seamen and features an attack on a U-boat by a Canadian corvette. Sea War - Timely Arrival By the summer of 1942, one Allied ship was going down every four hours, yet German I-boat losses remained frustratingly low. In response, the British took steps to extend the range and strength of convoy escort by sea and air. As anti-submarine measures became more successful in the waters around Great Britain, German submarines ranged further into the Atlantic in pursuit of the vital convoys that were Britain's lifeline. D-Day + 3 The invasion of Europe by the Allies was one of the most anticipated, tenuous and ultimately decisive events of WWII, but that fateful day would not have been possible had the Germans been victorious in the Battle of the Atlantic. This film summarizes the tit antic naval effort that was required to make the Normandy landings a success. Beachhead To Britain Produced by Warner Brothers in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard, this short Technicolor film is a tribute to U.S. Navy chaplains assigned to the Coast Guard. The New York Times commented about the film,"the footage photographed by the Coast Guard combat cameramen before and during the coastal invasion phase gives a most graphic comprehension of the assault on the beaches by seaborne troops." Battle Ground: North Africa and Italy This BATTLEGROUND focuses on North Africa and Italy during World War II, covering the rise of Benito Mussolini, Operation Torch, the Sicilian Campaign, the Gustav Line, and the 1944 Battle of San Pietro. Disc 1 El Alamein In September 1940, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini extended the war to North Africa, seeking to create a "New Roman Empire," but suffered a series of terrible reverses at the hands of the British. The German Afrika Korps was forced to come to the Italian's assistance, which led to a back-and-forth series of battles fro control of Libya and parts of Egypt. After the pivotal Battle of El Alamein, British Commonwealth forces eventually pushed the Axis forces back to Tunisia. Operation Torch Months before the British victory at El Alamein, President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill met to discuss Allied strategy for 1942. While American commander favored landing in occupied Europe, the British believed that such a course would end in disaster, due primarily to shortage of men and ships, and proposed an attack on French North Africa instead. With Joseph Stalin demanding that a sense front be opened to take pressure off Russia, Roosevelt relented. Planning for the operation, code-named Torch, began in July 1942. Sicily Early in 1943, after concluding that a successful invasion of France would be impossible that year, it was decided to invade the Italian island of Sicily from newly won island as a base for Axis shipping and aircraft, allowing free passage to Allied ships in the Mediterranean Sea, and to put pressure on the regime of Benito Mussolini in the hope of eventually having Italy struck from the war. The film you will see is a partial record of Canada's First Division in the Sicilian Campaign. Salerno Soon after the last Axis forces were driven from Sicily, Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini was overthrown. To exploit the collapse of the Fascist regime and draw as many German troops as possible away from the Russian front and the western coast France, an immediately invasion of the Italian mainland was imperative. The Allies settled on Salerno, some 50 miles southeast of the strategically important harbor at Naples. Monte Cassino Following the successful Allied landings on the Italian mainland in September 1943, German forces began a slow, fighting withdrawal to the north before settling into the Gustav Line, a sophisticated belt of interlocking defensive positions on the high ground along with the peninsula's narrowest point. The town of Cassino was the most formidable of the Gustav Line positions. Disc 2 Anzio With German defenders firmly entrenched behind the Gustav Line, Allied commanders settled on a plan, championed by Winston Churchill, to turn the German flank by mounting an amphibious landing at Anzio, some fifty miles behind enemy lines. By gaining a passage to the routes to Rome and threatening lines of communication and supply, it was hoped that the stalemate along the Gustav Line could be taken. The Battle Of San Pietro It has taken the U.S. 5th Army from the middle of October to early November to fight their way from the Volturno Line to the Bernhardt Line. In the center of the 5th Army front lay the Mignano Gap, which represented the only realistic path to the mouth of the Liri valley and the road leading to Rome. Fortified enemy positions dotted the high ground on both sides of the gap and the village stronghold of San Pietro was a key point in these defenses. The Battle of San Pietro was produced in 1944 by legendary filmmaker Frank Capra, who commissioned John Huston to direct and narrate and Dmitri Tiomkin to compose the score. The film is considered one of the strongest indictments of war ever made. Climb To Glory In the spring of 1944, the German Army was finally forced to retreat after nearly simultaneous Allied breakthroughs at Cassino and Anzio. By September, the Germans had withdrawn to the Gothic Line, a 16 km-deep belt of fortifications that wound through the natural defensive wall of the Apennine Mountains. The 10th Mountain Division, an elite group of skiers and mountaineers, went into combat for the first time in this difficult terrain. Battle Ground: The Battle of Britain In June of 1940, Nazi Germany having swept victoriously across Western Europe, was poised for an invasion of England. To prepare for the invasion, they planned a bombing campaign to bring England to its knees. Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed Parliament and declared "I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin," and begin it did, with the Luftwaffe launching the most deadly and sustained aerial bombardment in the history or warfare. The British people and their Royal Air Force responded with valor and glory, bending, but not breaking. Churchill called it "their finest hour." Disc 1 Battle Of Britain Two pilots, one German and one British, recall their missions during these critical battles in the skies over Britain. The RAF valiantly confronts the Luftwaffe, but as the Nazi raids continue, it seems like only a matter of time before the Royal Air Force will start to crumble. The Battle Of London This patriotic British film looks at the impact of the Battle of Britain in the citizens of London. As the blitz continues day after day, the people bravely carry on with their important jobs, fighting fires and defending their great city. English Wings Over Water A brief history of British naval aviation, starting with the first seaplanes used as the eyes of the fleet and continuing on the mighty Aircraft Carriers of WWII.

RAF In Action This film takes a brief look at the history of the RAF and then continues to examine the famous British aircraft and brave pilots of WWII. Witness the RAF in action through exciting gun camera footage during the Battle of Britain and beyond. Battle Ground: The German Frontier By late 1944, the Western Allies were infected with over-confidence that flowed from the sweeping victories they had gained since the Breakout from Normandy and that by December had carried them to the very borders of the Third Reich. They were confident that the war would soon be over, but they were sadly mistaken. On December 16, German forces launched a massive attack through the Ardennes, the opening blows of Operation Watch on the Rhine, known to history as the Battle of the Bulge. Disc 1 The Siegfried Line Called the Westwall by the Germans, The Siegfried Line was a defense system that stretched nearly 400 miles from the Netherlands in the North to Switzerland in the South. The campaign to breach the line included some of the most frustrating and deadly battles fought by he US Army in Northwest Europe. Battle Of The Bulge On December 16, 1944, thrifty German divisions roared across an Allied front that stretched from southern Belgium to the middle of Luxembourg. The attack came as a total surprise to the Allies and evolved into the most costly battle American soldiers have ever fought, in which nearly 80,000 were killed, maimed or captured in a hellish teat of courage and endurance. Tigers On The Loose The 10th Armored Division was the first of the American Third Army Division to enter Germany and the first to capture a major German City. Tigers on the Loose recounts the combat story of the 10th Armored Division in WWII, with emphasis on events related to fighting around Metz and Bastogne. Disc 2 The Battle At St. Vith During the Battle of the Bulge, two of the most important localities were Bastogne and St. Vith, with their roads nets, which, if held, would disrupt the plan of any aggressor. The Battle of St. Vith documents the gallant defense of the city by elements of the 106th Division and CCB, 7th Armored Division. Bastogne During the Battle of the Bulge, the 101st Airborne was rushed forward by truck to defend the vital road junction of Bastogne. They set up a defensive perimeter around the town, dug in, and for more than a week, repelled everything the germans threw at them. The Bridge At Remagen By March 1945, WWII in Europe was ending as Nazi Germany disintegrated. The Allies had advanced their broad front to the final barrier shielding the heart of the Reich, the Rhine River. With the Wehrmacht in full retreat, the Germans had demolished every crossing over the Rhine save one: the Ludendorff railway bridge at Remagen. Battle Ground: Axis Rising 1939 - 1941 In the years, leading to WWII, Germany, Japan and Italy embarked on campaigns aimed at the expansion of their empires and the subjugation of millions of people around the world. In the run up to war, these Axis powers were engaged in massive arms build-ups, unmatched by powers in the west. In the Far East, Japan was flexing its muscles, expanding into China and Manchuria, with its sights set on taking over the entire hemisphere. italy invaded Ethiopia and Germany was stockpiling arms, munitions, tanks and aircraft, waiting for the right time to pursue their dream of a Thousand Year Reich. In this two DVD set, nine rare films tell the enthralling story of that prelude to WWII. From the economic and political landscape that led to the despotic take-over of Japan, Germany and Italy, to the battles that led the world into war. You will see how the seemingly unstoppable German Blitzkrieg swept across Europe, and how Japan invaded China and planned its devastating Pearl Harbor raid on the American Navy, finally bringing the USA into the war. These amazing films mark some of the early, dark days of WWII, when it seemed like nothing could stop the Axis of Germany, Japan and Italy, bent on world domination. Disc 1 Prologue To War Starting at the end of WWI, the effects of political unrest and economic depression give rise to extremists who take over the governments in Germany, Italy and Japan. These Axis powers use nationalism and prejudice to rally their populace and push for expansion. Meanwhile, American is content to stay out of the conflicts and their entry into WWII is only assured after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. World War II - 1939-1941 This account of the early years of WWII covers the early successes of the Axis powers as they dominate every for they face. It started in 1939 when Germany signed a nonaggression pact with Russia, take over Poland, and then quickly invade and take over Belgium, Holland and France. Then, despite their pact, the Nazis turn on Russia and are soon at the gates of Moscow. Japan is also covered as they lay waste to the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor in order to continue their expansion in the Far East.
