WARS IN PEACE
Regional conflict from Korea to the Gulf
12 x 26' or 12 x 35'
Since the end of World War Two, warfare has continued to rage across the planet despite the prolonged peace in Europe. A series of regional conflicts has enabled the major powers to
continue to develop skills in warfare and weapons, on sea, on land and in the air.
Now, with the nuclear stalemate ended and with open warfare returning to Europe, the lessons of the ‘WARS IN PEACE’
become increasingly important and frighteningly relevant. What are the techniques of guerrilla warfare that can defeat highly equipped and trained armies, what weapons are now available
for attackers and defenders, what has technology developed for the future and what is the role of the individual fighters.
Above all who really wins?
From the first use of jets in Korea, through the triumph of the guerrilla armies in Vietnam and Afghanistan to the awesome Blitzkreig of the Gulf, Wars In Peace analyses every aspect of
modern warfare including the growing sophistication of special forces and terrorism.

D-DAY
The Public Face
1 x 60'
All the action, glory and sacrifices. D-Day has finally dawned, the future of European civilisation could hinge on this day. This documentary shows the detailed planning, ingenious preparations
and sheer fury of allied war effort on land, sea and air, which was to prove the beginning of the end of Hitler.
For the first time, we look back a half century at the way cinema audiences first learnt of the
unfolding of Operation Overlord and the fate of their loved ones on the field of combat.
Hit songs of the day, courtesy of Glen Miller, The Andrews Sisters, Vera Lynn, George Formby
and Marlene Dietrich conjure up the mood and spirit of a time when we cheered our boys on to ever greater and nobler conquests. Presented by Falkland's War Hero Simon Weston.
