17th Airborne: The Bulge to the Rhine

On Christmas Day, 1944 five young soldiers of the 17th Airborne Division entered the frozen hell of the Battle of the Bulge. This is not the story of generals or strategies. It is the story of ordinary men who faced extraordinary terror fear, loss, and the fight to stay human in the chaos of war. Through their own words, these veterans recount the cold, the killing, and the haunting memories that never left them. Their courage and trauma reveal not just the brutality of war, but the strength of the human soul when survival is the only instinct left. A deeply emotional and unflinching look at the last great battle of World War II — and the men who lived to tell its truth.

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".
