BATTLE OF BRITAIN: THREE DAYS THAT SAVED THE NATION
3 X 60 CHANNEL 5
It was the battle that changed history. In this series to mark the 80th anniversary of the battle, we bring to life the gripping events of three crucial days, told in minute-by-minute detail, as Britain fought to stop a Nazi invasion.
We uncover the incredible lost stories of the battle’s forgotten heroes, many of which have never been told on television – until now. We discover tales of courage and sacrifice, love and loss, seen through the eyes of the ordinary people at the heart of the storm. Dan Snow and Kate Humble take to the skies to relive the twists, turns, terror and triumph of three days that saved the nation.
