When the First World War came to an end in 1918, those who returned truly believed that their fallen comrades had not died in vain and that it would be the war to end all wars. But sadly, with issues left unresolved, the storm clouds of World War were once again gathering as the 1930s dawned. For the people of Britain, a Sunday morning radio broadcast in September 1939 told them that they were again at war with Germany as Adolf Hitler invaded Poland.

The resilience of the British throughout the years of World War II was legendary and to this day this is still regarded as the nation's finest hour. Follow the progress of the war as the triumphs and disasters unfolded and discover what life in Britain, keeping the home fires burning, was really like. From Dunkirk to D-Day, Pearl Harbour tp Nagasaki, plot the major events that shaped a new order and peace in our time. This programme is a poignant reflection of the spirit of the British nation at war, a tribute to those who gave their lives in the fight for freedom and an unforgettable celebration of a lasting peace, as the people of Britain rebuilt their lives and looked to the future.
