A retrospective that begins in 1942, when Adolf Hitler was still at the height of his power and the Allies began envisioning a cross-channel invasion of Europe. By combining film footage, period music, and radio broadcasts from around the world, this film illuminates the strategies and deceptions of the combatants on all sides.
