Step back in time and relive history - Recently uncovered color footage follows British and American troops, and documents, as never before, the massive outpouring of joy and relief among ordinary citizens as news of the German surrender spreads throughout Europe. With the costly success of D-Day behind them, the Allies began their final push to Berlin...and to victory in Europe. For Allied troops, there were still hardships to come, as they searched for fugitive Nazis and tried to maintain order on a continent devastated by six years of brutal war. Includes: Gripping color images document Churchill's stunning loss in the 1945 British general election, the victorious Allies' uneasy postwar settlement at Potsdam, and the dawning of a new era, as millions of soldiers return to find their homelands forever changed. Additional bonus footage features secretly filmed color footage that captures key events leading to the liberation of German-occupied Guernsey in 1945. All footage is from original color film sources.
