Pluto TV Britain at War - テレビ番組表 — 今放送中

A war that reached every continent and touched every sort of terrain demanded every sort of strategy. In this episode we examine battles fought at sea, and in the jungle, in city streets, invasions from the air, and retreats from the land.

Battles are almost always about territory. Advancing the front line, seizing the port, the city, the oil field. The fate of nations in the war rose and fell on battles that took territory. Singapore, Monte Casino, Stalingrad...all about territory.

The activities of nations after World War I that lead to World War II.

Country after European country falls before the unstoppable German blitzkrieg.

The German invasion of Russia from Operation Barbarossa on 22 June 1941 to Kursk on 5 July 1943.

Japan attacks the USA on 7 Dec 1941. For the next 6 months, they continue to have successful attacks.

Every war seized new tactics; some inspired, some desperate, all attempting to influence the course of battles. Campaigns waged against non military targets to demoralize. Suicide missions launched when traditional weapons failed. Rules were rewritten.

A world war is a patchwork of actions. Land. Sea. Air. Massive, or small scale. The stories of these actions, are just as varied. This episode describes battles of amphibious forces, climate, geography, and the problems of supply.
