This spectacular two-hour special delivers the tipping points of World War II as you’ve never seen them before. The key editorial feature of the program is an all-seeing CGI eye; a satellite, flying above earth, bringing a new visual approach to the biggest conflict of all time. Flying through space and time from above, we’ll see these monumental moments in their global context, bringing new information to the forefront and explaining how a nation ranked 19th in the world’s militaries in 1939, emerged six years later as the planet’s only atomic superpower. Our view from above means we can re-interpret WWII; placing key events in perspective, flying around the world to show the importance of simultaneity, revealing the hidden ripple effects of crucial incidents, and re-creating ground-breaking moments that could never have been captured on camera.
