| Apocalypse - The Second World War - Episode 1 - The Aggression This six-part series tells the epic story of World War II, providing an insight into the experiences of the millions of soldiers who fought across countries and continents, and the moving stories of the millions of civilians who saw their homes destroyed and lives disrupted by the cataclysm of war. Using original footage, including home movies, from World War II, Apocalypse: The Second World War presents a chilling and sometimes confronting look at the horrors of the war. The footage has been transformed into colour using digital techniques, giving a new perspective on one of the most significant events of the last century. Episode 1: Aggression The films used are captured by amateur filmmakers, who witnessed the war first-hand - the evacuation of Paris; the stoicism of the British throughout the Blitz; the hardships of the Russian campaign experienced by German soldiers. Deemed 'unfit' for civilians to see, the films were stashed away and forgotten. Thanks to the efforts of a few private collectors and archivists, these forgotten films have been rediscovered and restored, giving audiences an unprecedented sense of the reality of war not conveyed by the stock, newsreel or propaganda footage of the period.
