A film series based on Sir Winston Churchill's Memoirs of World War II.
In spite of the non-aggression pact, Hitler invades Russia and city after city falls to the Nazi troops who are only halted by Russia's old ally-winter. Churchill crosses the Atlantic to meet Roosevelt; the Atlantic Charter-a reaffirmation of human rights-is signed and is an inspiration to the whole freedom-loving world.
