The History Of World War 2

The History of World War 2 offers an in-depth exploration of Britain’s vital role in the early stages of the war, from the Blitzkrieg invasion to the triumphs of the RAF.

The History of World War 2 takes a deep dive into Britain’s response to the German Blitzkrieg invasion of Poland in 1939. As the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was dispatched to prevent the Germans from advancing through Europe, the heroic yet enforced withdrawal at Dunkirk marked a pivotal moment. With the fate of Europe hanging in the balance, the RAF, led by Sir Hugh Dowding, played a decisive role in winning the Battle of Britain and postponing Germany’s invasion plans indefinitely. This programme delves into the military strategies, key battles, and the resilience that defined Britain’s fight against the Axis powers in the early years of the war.
