Paris is freed but celebrations are premature. As Montgomery's Arnhem raid and the Polish uprising fail badly, it seems five years in the war is still not at an end.

They nearly get blown to kingdom come when muddled map references mean that the men find themselves sitting in a barn which is a live ammunition target for a troop on an exercise.

The Dutch are shocked when the Germans bomb Rotterdam and invade their neutral country. But Germany follows with insidious conciliatory gestures that ease tensions. Germany gradually exploits the populace with conscriptions, forced labor and deportation of Jewish citizens. Finally anticipating liberation as the Allies mov...

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all my U.S. patrons!
I've been working on a Christmas production the past few days, which has taken a lot of my time this week, and now it's Thanksgiving. With everything going on, I've needed to take a couple days to wind down and enjoy the holiday. So the next World at War and Dad's Army episodes will be out tomorrow.
As for this mon...

My outro accidentally got cut off, so this video ends at the conclusion of my reaction. I basically said/asked everything during the video, so it should still be okay.
Interviews with Mountbatten himself, with Eisenhower's driver and with troops involved in the D-Day landings bring those gory and glorious days to life.

More mayhem with Mainwaring and his men as the verger gets tied up with disastrous consequences. The platoon must set him free, and find a place to hide the runaway barrage balloon.

The platoon are sent a huge naval gun, but need to figure out how it works and where it's pointing. Captain Mainwaring knows where he wants it, but there's an old bandstand in the way.

TIME CHANGE TO 3 p.m. EST / 7 p.m. GMT!!! Early results of the poll seem to say that most people prefer a later start time.
Join me at 3 p.m. EST / 7 p.m. GMT for a live viewing of “Darkest Hour.” This film was sent to me by a couple of subscribers, so I’m looking forward to it!

Life on the British Home Front is a time of gas masks, digging for victory, evacuation and the Squander Bug. The Luftwaffe redirect their bombing raids to provincial cities and U-boat operations in the Atlantic mean that food supplies are scarce.

Okay, this is actually episode 12 that I accidentally watched...not 2. Oops. We'll just swap the two. They're not chronological anyway, so I guess the order doesn't matter much!
I also had to re-film and re-upload the last part of the episode, so this is a new version of the video with the entire episode.

Hey everyone, let's look at November 5 for the next Movie Night livestream. Be thinking about which movie you'd like to see. I'm personally leaning towards Darkest Hour, but let me know if there's something else you'd like to see first. Looking forward to it!

As Allied troops prepare to defend Burma - the shield and barrier protecting India - they are confronted in dreadful monsoon conditions by the Japanese, who are well-prepared for jungle warfare. Thus begins the longest retreat in British military history.
