Apocalypse: The Second World War
Saturday 06 November
8:00pm - 9:00pm
Channel 4
2/6, series 1
It's 1940 and this newly "colourised" footage shows endless columns of people trudging through Europe. Some are French families, meagre possessions piled onto carts or bicycles, fleeing the invading Nazis. Then there are the 400,000 bedraggled Allied soldiers retreating to the beaches at Dunkirk, and the subdued PoWs being marched to an uncertain future in the camps. And of course there are pitiful scenes of young British evacuees waving goodbye to their tearful mothers. Footage like this makes the juxtaposed scenes of Hitler, strutting before his cohorts or posing laughing with rosy-cheeked children, seem all the more hideous.
