It took Hitler less than ten months to conquer Europe. This two-part series is an astonishing “play by play” told by three of its major players: France, England and Germany.
Inspired by newsreels, each country reveals the “truth” to its citizens. Between September 1939 to June 1940, we view how each side saw the inexorable plunge Europe took into chaos.
Also available in French: La drole de guerre
