World War II: The Price of Empire

Through the unparalleled resources of one of the world's greatest film archives, we see how the world was completely remade during its years of war. The hundreds of hours of enthralling newsreel coverage of conflict, the home front and political leaders show the events that saw the downfall of the word's traditional powers. This expansive archive is brought to life by the eyewitness testimonies, recorded exclusively for the series, of veterans of the conflict from countries across the world including Poland, Russia, India and Britain. Their stories are also illustrated by original animations that explain action from the tactical to the global level. (Viasat)
