Apocalypse - The Second World War - Presented by the National Geographic Channel
Declassified, colourised, and restored footage reveal World War II as it has never been seen before.
Apocalypse tells us about this huge conflict through the tragic destiny of those who went to war (soldiers) those who suffered from it (civilians), and those who ran it (political and military leaders). The "horrible yet familiar" war led to the deaths of 50 million men and women across the world - making for the first time as many civilian victims as there were military casualties.
