Presented by Michael Howard

1942. The American President decrees that American Forces must be fighting German Forces by the end of the year. This will take some pressure off Russia.
In October just after Montgomery's 8th Army attack at El Alamein, Anglo-American Forces land in French North Africa at the other end of the Mediterranean.
By 1943 the squeeze is on the Third Reich - the Russians victorious at Stalingrad - the Allied Navies winning the Battle of the Atlantic - Italy about to be invaded, and preparations for D-Day are under way.
Tonight Michael Howard looks at the discussions and arguments behind the decisions and introduces film from the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the Battle of Normandy.
