- Using rare newly found footage and eye-witness accounts from survivors, 'Battle for Warsaw' tells the tragic story of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising in which nearly a quarter of a million Poles lost their lives.
- The Warsaw Rising of August 1, 1944 was one of the most desperate and tragic battles in modern warfare. Waged by an ill-equipped but heroic insurgent army against the mighty German war machine, the bloody 63-day battle ultimately led to the total destruction of Warsaw, Poland's ancient capital city and to the death of over 250,000 Polish civilians and soldiers. It was a battle that could have changed world history. If the Poles had won, they and the whole of Eastern Europe might have escaped Soviet domination for the next 45 years. Yet, even as the fighting raged in the heart of their beloved city, the Poles were callously betrayed; not by their enemies; but by their allies.
- The Warsaw Uprising of 1944 saw its citizens take on the might of the Nazis alone. 'Timewatch' tells how Britain abandoned these people to their fate in one of the most heroic military operations undertaken by any resistance movement in World War II.
- 2019–TV EpisodeThe IV SS-Panzerkorps was activated for the defense of Warsaw in late July 1944. Its primary units, 3. SS-Panzer Division (Totenkopf) and 5. SS-Panzer Division (Wiking) spent the last ten months of the war in almost continuous combat. In August 1944 the Korps fought east of the river Vistula. Herbert Otto Gille's IV SS-Panzerkorps was renowned for its tenacity, high morale and, above all, its lethality, whether conducting a hard-hitting counterattack or a stubborn defense in situations where its divisions were hopelessly outnumbered. Douglas Nash is a West Point Class graduate and retired U.S. Army Colonel with 32 years of active duty service in places like Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Cuba, and Uzbekistan. We are delighted that he is joining us on WW2TV. Douglas is the author of several books focussing on German units in the later part of the war.
