Synopsis

‘Victory in Europe’ takes an in-depth look at the events and experiences leading up to the end of the war, focusing on the personal stories of those involved, including not only the men in combat, but also the close friends and family back home.

Using a combination of witness materials including emotive letters and diaries and an ever-expanding wealth of original colour footage from across the world, ‘Victory in Europe’ takes up where ‘D-Day In Colour’ left off and provides an intimate, first-hand account of the build up to victory in Europe and beyond to victory in the Pacific. This, combined with original radio announcements; speeches and original colour newsreels of the time, brings generations closer to the euphoria people felt as six years of suffering and endurance came to an end.
