BBC Two - D-Day to Berlin, The Dream That Died

With British and American armies poised to cross the Rhine, victory seemed certain.

Drama-documentary about the struggle to defeat Hitler's Third Reich. With British and American armies poised to cross the Rhine, victory seemed certain.

Drama-documentary series narrated by Sean Bean about the struggle to defeat Hitler's Third Reich. With British and American armies poised to cross the Rhine and Soviet forces advancing towards Berlin, victory seemed certain and the Allies were planning a new Europe based on liberty and democracy. This edition draws on the memories of those who fought and on reconstructions to tell the story of the last desperate battles inside Germany and of how the dream of a new Europe crumbled in the ruins of Hitler's Reich. 

On 16 April 1945 the Soviets began their final assault on Berlin and fourteen days later Hitler was dead. But even before the victory celebrations were over, a new chill gripped the alliance. A new European order had emerged, but it was dominated by another dictator - the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
