3-9 THC - WWII IN HD (World War 2 in HD Part 3) The HISTORY channel (and Pennsylvania-based Lou Reda Productions) spent years collecting color film from various sources, including museums like the National Archives and private collections from homes dotting the American landscape. On that film was footage never before seen on TV cleaned, color corrected and painstakingly enhanced as part of a groundbreaking 10-part series beginning Sunday, November 15 and known simply as WWII in HD. The series covers both the Pacific and European theaters of the war, following 12 individuals through the chaos, confusion and utter destruction of combat. Much of the footage was shot by military personnel on the ground who fought in or contributed to the war effort. Their stories -- pulled from diaries, journals and an intense series of interviews -- are narrated by Emmy Award winner Gary Sinise. Viewer Discretion Advised The cinematic presentation is anchored by an early disclaimer that reads, While some footage is used in a representational manner, all the images you are about to see are real. Viewers are reminded of that fact as they find themselves part of a visceral, almost surreal experience. Bombs explode, soldiers die and children are maimed as the realities of war come alive and help us to understand the need for colorization and restoration of this film. Among those profiled are war reporters, medical personnel and a famed member of the Tuskegee Airmen. Their stories are voiced by ...
World War I was a military conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved most of the world's great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centred around the Triple Entente) and the Central Powers. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. More than 15 million people were killed, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in history.This war (abbreviated as WW-I, WWI, or WW1) is also known as the First World War, the Great War, the World War (prior to the outbreak of the Second World War), and the War to End All Wars. The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, is seen as the immediate trigger of the war, though long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policy, played a major role. Ferdinand's assassination at the hands of a Bosnian Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip resulted in Habsburg ultimatum against the Kingdom of Serbia.Several alliances that had been formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; with all having colonies, the conflict soon spread around the world. The conflict opened with the German invasion of Belgium, Luxembourg and France; the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia and a Russian attack against Prussia. After the German march on Paris was brought to a halt, the Western Front settled into a static battle of attrition with a ...

It is the largest and most destructive war in human history. Yet even as the world burned, it was an era that brought out the best and the worst in the human soul. Today, the battlefields have long since fallen silent, and the scars have slowly begun to heal, yet beneath the oceans blue waters the remains of the ships lost by both sides lay, still locked in combat, along with those who went down with them, silent reminders of an era that saw Mankind's greatest triumphs and darkest attrocities: The Second World War Song: Ghost of a Rose Artist: Blackmore's Night Subject: World War II

In 1914, the world was on the brink of enormous change. Worried by increasing German militarism, the French and the British entered into the Entente Cordiale against Germany and her allies, splitting Europe into opposing sides. Two shots would ignite the powder keg.

History of Palestine Zionism arrived in Palestine in the late 19th as a colonialist movement motivated by national impulses. The colonisation of Palestine fitted well the interests and policies of the British Empire on the eve of the First World War. With the backing of Britain, the colonisation project expanded, and became a solid presence on the land after the war and with the establishment of the British mandate in Palestine (which lasted between 1918 and 1948). While this consolidation ...

In the hours before dawn, US Navy vessels spotted an unidentified submarine periscope near the entrance to Pearl Harbor.

At 7:00 am, an alert operator of an Army radar station at Opana spotted the approaching first wave of the attack force. The officers to whom those reports were relayed did not consider them significant enough to take action. The report of the submarine sinking was handled routinely, and the radar sighting was passed off as an approaching group of American planes due to arrive that morning.

Almost immediately after invading Poland, Stalin began placing territorial demands on the Finish government. The Soviet Union demanded a 25 miles of land North of Leningrad and demanded a 30 year lease of the Hanko Peninsula area for a new Soviet naval base. Soviet leaders considered these as more than reasonable. The Finish government rejected the terms and began mobilizing. After an alleged shelling of a border town the Soviet Union invaded Finland on November 30th, 1939. The USSR forces consisted of 23 divisions amounting to 450000 men. The Finish defense consisted of 8 divisions amounting to 180000 men. The main finish defense line (Mannerheim Line) was located 25 miles North of Leningrad. The Finns relied on hit and run tactics in freezing conditions. The Finnish assault troops could outmaneuver the Soviets with ski troops. Much food and ammunition was captured to maintain the Finnish forces. Fortunately, the Finns used the same rifle ammo as the USSR. A crude but highly effective gasoline bomb, developed in the Spanish Civil War, was deployed and destroyed up to 2000 Soviet tanks. Later known as the Molotov Cocktail this simple weapon was used throughout World War II. Sniper warfare became a serious tactic during the ...
