World War II: Battlefield Europe - Season 1 Episode 4 The War Begins, 1939
The world today is a product of the second world war in too many ways to count.
With Germany's land grab in 1939, Britain and France reluctantly concluded that Hitler was bent on European domination. Follow the story of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, the dramatic invasion of Poland in September 1939, and the rise of a new kind of German warfare called blitzkrieg (lightning war").
