We meet some of the extraordinary last survivors of the generation who fought or lived through World War II. They come from both rich and poor backgrounds. We find out how these men and women of Britain's Greatest Generation, some of whom are now centenarians, were shaped by their childhood experiences. Part 1 of 4.
We meet one of the last surviving pilots of the Battle of Britain, and also hear from men who did some of the most dangerous war work of all - getting the convoys through. And we find out what kept people going when defeat was staring them in the face. This would be the defining moment of Britain's Greatest Generation - when an indomitable spirit helped turn our darkest hour into our finest hour. Part 2 of 4.
This film interweaves stories of extraordinary courage, terrible suffering and miraculous survival from service personnel between 1942 and 1945. Meet the men who flew on some of the war's most dangerous bombing missions, and discover what it was like for the soldiers who helped turn the tide against the Germans, from El Alamein to the Normandy beaches. Hear from the frontline nurses who risked everything to care for them, and learn what it took to survive years of hard labour, disease and punishment as a prisoner in the Far East. Only after victory in 1945 did the full, grim truth about the extermination of Jews in German concentration camps finally come to light. Part 3 of 4.
This final episode looks at the people who helped create a more diverse postwar Britain, including pioneering actor Earl Cameron and gay rights activist George Montague. Also featured are Arctic convoy survivor Austin Byrne, former Fleet Air Arm pilot and Scotland football manager Bobby Brown, and ex-POW Jim Purcell - just a few of the extraordinary and inspiring members of Britain's Greatest Generation who recall their stories and memories. Part 4 of 4.
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: On 2 October 2006, a 32-year-old milk truck driver named Charles Roberts entered a one-room schoolhouse in the Amish community of Nickel Mines in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and shot 10 young girls, killing five, before committing suicide as police officers stormed the school. Just hours after the shooting, Amish community members visited the gunman's family to offer forgiveness. This film answers many questions about this insistently insular religious community.
