As morning broke on the 1st of September 1939 and the first invasion force of German troops crossed the Polish border, few could have imagined the sheer scale of devastation, misery and bloodshed that the following years of war would bring.

The result was the conflict to end all conflicts. With over 500 minutes of footage, this gripping documentary series covers all the major events, people and machinery involved in the 20th Century's most terrible conflict and examines the roles of all three branches of the armed forces - navy, air force and army.Poetry and Truth - How Hip Hop Came to Germany
