Подробнее о видео

In 1940, as Nazi Germany sweeps across Europe, Britain stands alone. Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister and inspires the nation through powerful speeches. After the evacuation of over 300,000 soldiers from Dunkirk, the country braces for invasion. The Battle of Britain begins. Despite being outnumbered, the Royal Air Force resists the German Luftwaffe thanks to radar technology, intelligence from Bletchley Park, and the bravery of British pilots. London is heavily bombed during the Blitz, but the population endures. Churchill refuses to surrender, supports the Soviet Union in 1941, and receives vital aid from the United States through the Lend-Lease Act. This chapter marks a turning point in WWII: Britain’s defiance halts Hitler’s advance, and Churchill emerges as a symbol of resilience and national unity.
