Secrets of World War II is a series that takes you beyond what you already know about World War II. You know about Churchill, Eisenhower and Stalin and how they formed a coalition to defeat Germany, Italy and Japan. They were the "faces" of World War II, and rightfully so. But World War II was more than about them. It was about violent beach landings in France, desert warfare in Africa and nautical combat in the Pacific. It was about people from every walk of life, from ordinary situations, doing extraordinary things. In the trenches, in the cockpit and behind the wheel, people you might have known from the grocery store, lumber mill or the school board fought, bled and helped win the war. Secrets of World War II tells you their stories. See how their battles fit into the overall story of the war, how their small victories led to larger ones. Each hour-long episode gives you in-depth information not just on why they made the decisions they did, but how those decisions ultimately helped win World War II.moreless
