The Second World War has mainly been seen in black and white.  But recent research has unearthed an abundance of superb color film that shows what it really looked like to those who were there.

 World War II in Color: The British Story is a stunning and vivid new account of Britain during World War II and covers the events that happened on the home front between the years 1934 and 1945.  It tells the remarkable story of Britain’s involvement in the Second World War using much previously unseen color film footage, letters and diaries of the people who lived through this unforgettable period in British History.

 Narrated by john Thaw, World War II in Color: the British Story portrays the bloody conflict of the most cataclysmic period in recent history.  It includes color film of Winston Churchill before the 1945 election, British prisoners of war at a liberated prison camp in Burma and spectacular footage of the D-Day landings.  Brilliant color footage is also featured of a Royal visit to Warrington, and Hampshire Regiment at their training camp at Seaford in Sussex in 1934 and of Oswald Mosley’s blackshirts marching along London’s Embankment in 1940.  This DVD contains the programs Darkest Hour, The Beginning of the End and Unknown Warriors.
