Monte Cassino
During 1944, the Allies tried desperately to break through the German winter defensive line that blocked the advance to Rome. At the centre of the line was the heavily fortified town of Cassino, which was dominated by a sixth century Benedictine monastery. This imposing hilltop site became the subject of bitter controversy and a symbol of some of the most savage fighting of World War Two. This is a brand new episode from the landmark television series ‘Battlefield’.
El Alamein
Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat. Winston Churchill’s words illustrate clearly why the two battles fought near the Egyptian coastal town in the western desert during 1942 were a turning point of World War Two. This is a brand new episode from the landmark television series ‘Battlefield’.
