Winston Churchill: The Valiant Years: Episode 19: Set Europe Ablaze

on BBC Television

A film series based on Sir Winston Churchill's Memoirs of World War II.

With the Allies again on European soil, the invaluable support of the Underground Armies is intensified. From the London headquarters of the Special Operations Executive, specialty trained men and women are sent out; and from France, Yugoslavia, Greece, and Czechoslovakia come reports of sabotage to enemy communication, punished with savage reprisals. And the whole Polish underground-the largest in Europe-fights the heroic battle of Warsaw for sixty-three days while the Russians deliberately withhold their help and support.
