With rare archive film, combined with state-of-the-art computer graphics, learn how ordinary men and women suddenly thrown into the most challenging situations, either fighting or assisting their countries in intelligence duties, code-breaking, sabotage or scientific research, individually, had a far-reaching impact on the course of winning the war.Weapons of World War IIIn the annals of 20th-Century warfare, World War II saw the sharpest and most dramatic rise in the design, manufacture and effectiveness of some of the world's most lethal weaponry.

In this documentary the development of each weapon system is addressed from the outbreak of the war to its 1945 climax.
