Britain in 1940 (Part 1 of 2)

This series, broadcast in Britain in 2000, covers the fateful year of 1940 when British independence hung by a thread. From the evacuation of Dunkirk to victory in the Battle of Britain, the series contains some superb archive footage and - most of all - some wonderful interviews with people who were there, both on the fighting front, at home, and even in government. The film quality in some places is a little fuzzy, probably because it was uploaded from an old VHS, but it's worth sticking with in my opinion. Uploaded for educational purposes only. Be sure to watch Part 2, and 'The Other Side of Dunkirk' also available on my channel. Comments are restricted but welcome if they engage with the subject matter.
