Hitler's Defeat: Victory Against All Odds
This is the journey of British people's courage, resourcefulness and 'Keep Calm and Carry On' attitude led to victory in the fight against Hitler. The outbreak of war meant that social and cultural norms were turned upside-down: women willingly stepped up to the essential war work, whilst also dealing with the heartbreak of evacuation, the terror and loss of the bombing raids of the Blitz, as well as the heavy burden of their menfolk being at war. Laughter and music, dates, dances and weddings plus the American GIs, helped the British people through the darkness. This indomitable spirit on the Home Front boosted troops' morale as they faced down the enemy bringing victory for the allies against all odds.

Night Will FallFilm, 2014Rated 7.6 on TMDB
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".
