My Air Raid Shelter
The fourth film in Shin-Ei's series of annual WWII themed anime television movies for children "Sensou Douwa".
War Documentary hosted by James Holland, published by BBC in 2014
James Holland moves beyond the D-Day beaches to reassess the brutal 77-day Battle for Normandy that followed the invasion. Challenging some of the many myths that have grown up around this vital campaign, Holland argues that we have become too comfortable in our understanding of events, developing shorthand to tell this famous story that does great injustice to those that saw action in France across the summer of 1944.
