Generals at War

This exciting award winning series for National Geographic adopts a fresh approach to the great battles of World War II.

Each episode tells the story of a battle through the eyes of two opposing generals.  Two modern day military specialists, often generals themselves, get inside the heads of their historical counterparts to unpick their strengths and weaknesses.  A team of experts out in the field compare and contrast the hardware each general had at his disposal.

In a dramatic device, a war-time bunker becomes the setting for these epic conflicts.  As the generals face off across the battle map the action comes alive in CGI: soldiers march across the table, tanks blast away at each other and planes fly overhead.
