NEW RETAIL EDITION The First Blitzkrieg, a John Tiller Game In September 1939 a new form of warfare erupted in Europe, one that would forever transform how wars were fought. As German panzers rolled across Poland, a new word was spoken to describe combined armor and air operations: Blitzkrieg. Following the conquest of Poland, Germany would then turn its attention to Scandinavia and then to France and the Low Countries in the first few years of what would become the Second World War. Can you co

Politics makes strange bedfellows--it's a platitude that darkens considerably in this explosive film. While rhetoric soared in public during World War II behind the scenes Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt maintained some unseemly relationships with two of history's most prolific murderers Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. This documentary from the BBC digs deep to expose these tangled relations as well as their impact on world events.

The Second World War Experience: Blitzkrieg, describes the slow spiralling to war: from the forging of peace after the First World War to the wars of Italy, China and Japan in the 1930s.

Includes: Minesweeper (1943) Black Brigade (1969) Hitler's SS: Portrait in Evil (1985) Minesweeper Adhering to the formula of such previous Pine-Thomas productions as Forced Landing, Flying Blind and Torpedo Boat, Minesweeper is the action-packed story of military men under wartime pressure.

He signs up under an assumed name as a lowly seaman, then proves that he's still made of "the right stuff" by single-handedly seeking out and destroying a new type of Japanese mine. Jean Parker, who like Arlen was a "regular" in the Pine-Thomas product, plays Smith's loyal wife Mary, while the requisite... Less

Something frightening is happening to the citizens of the developed world. Despite major advances in health care, over recent decades we've been battling an ever-growing epidemic of once rare allergic and autoimmune diseases. Today, more than 17 million people in the U.S. alone struggle to maintain one of their body's most basic functions - breathing. Another 50 million are now thought to be coming under regular attack by their own immune systems. In recent years a number of leading medical researchers have come to a startling theory about the cause of this epidemic of "modern" diseases. Called the Hygiene Hypothesis, it suggests the war against germs and worms being waged in the hygiene-obsessed western world may be triggering serious illness in hundreds of millions of people. It may be... Less

One cannot help but think of terrorist attacks while watching Stephen Spielberg's update of the classic sci-fi fantasy THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. While the H.G. Wells story dates back to 1898, and has inspired previous adaptations, this particular version feeds off its 21st century audience's fear of a terrorist- induced apocalypse. Even if the sight of tall buildings crumbling to the ground and crowds running fearfully away from their demise doesn't trigger post-9/11 paranoia, dialogue such as "Is it the terrorists?" will. Disgruntled, divorced father Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) is struggling to connect with his estranged kids, who have been dropped off by their mother for the weekend, when a severe and unusual lightning storm leaves his New Jersey neighborhood powerless. Over the course of the... Less
