Rally Sweden 1989

The World Rally Championship of 1989 commenced in the wintry wastes of Sweden. Superb coverage brings you this freezing season opener, in an intriguing year of World Championship rallying under the Group A ruling of the time. Four wheel drive was the thing to have on this event. The one official factory team present, Mazda, had entered two cars for Timo Salonen, and Ingvar Carlsson. They received a strong challenge throughout the rally from the privately entered Lancia Delta Integrales of Per Eklund, and Mikael Ericsson, plus a host of similarly entered Toyotas, Audis, and Opels. Sit back, and watch the Arctic Gladiators battle for supremacy on Sweden’s treacherous, icy surfaces.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
