How to Be a Gardener episode 6: However good a gardener you are, there are always outside agencies that do their best to prevent you succeeding. That’s life. Weeds will invade your beds and borders, pests will fly in to nibble leaves and suck sap, and diseases will spread death and destruction in their wake. But grow your plants well, and know what steps to take when you spot a weed, a pest or disease, and you can stay one step ahead. Whether you are an organic gardener like me, or use chemicals wisely, making sure that the right product is used in the right place, the important thing is that you achieve a working relationship with nature and still enjoy your garden. How to Be a Gardener is a BBC documentary series presented by gardener Alan Titchmarsh, providing a complete online guide gardening for beginners. Let's face it, gardening can be pretty daunting. All those Latin names, the bugs and blights that can attack your plants just when they are looking their prettiest. How doe...

World War II In HD Colour episode 8

World War II In HD Colour episode 8: By July 1943, the full extent of Hitler's failed gamble in the East had become clear. After failing to deliver knock-out blows at Stalingrad and Moscow, his army was now at the mercy of the vast Soviet war machine. With its huge resources and seemingly limitless numbers of men, the Red Army slowly pushed the Germans back out of Russia through Ukraine, Poland, the Balkans and Hungary. This was war on a monster scale, pitching armies of millions against each other. But it was also a war fought by small bands of partisans, men like Tito in Yugoslavia, leading guerrilla bands against Nazi forces. This film tells the extraordinary story of the war in North Africa and features the heroics of the tiny island of Malta as it withstood wave after wave of Nazi assault. It ends with the Allies fighting their way up Italy and Germany in retreat. World War II in Colour is a 13-episode British television docuseries recounting the major events of World War II ...

World War II In HD Colour episode 7: Both the Allies and the Nazis were always looking for a single knock-out blow to end the war. Britain's Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris thought the answer might lie in "strategic bombing." The idea was to blow the belt out of Germany's infrastructure and cities. This, he argued, would cripple the Nazis ability to wage a war and the ordinary people would soon lose the will to fight. But it led directly to the tragedy of Dresden, when Allied planes firebombed tens of thousands of ordinary Germans. https://hdclump.com/world-war-ii-in-hd-colour-episode-7/

World War II In HD Colour episode 5: December 7th 1941 is "a date that will live in infamy" proclaimed President Franklin Roosevelt.

World War II In HD Colour episode 1

Image
World War II In HD Colour episode 1: The series starts with that great paradox. How could the settlement at the end of World War One - the 'war to end all wars' - lead to an even greater conflict just a few years later ? The answer is a tale with terrible resonance today. This film shows how the Great Depression sapped the will of the democracies of the West to face up to a new and disturbing political phenomenon - the rise of militaristic dictators, in Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain. As the Depression worsened, it had a significant impact on international relations and ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War II. The economic hardships of the 1930s led to the rise of extremist political movements, such as fascism in Italy and Germany. These movements gained support by promising to restore national pride and economic prosperity. In addition, the economic crisis of the 1930s destabilized the global economy and led to a decrease in international trade. This led to a...

Secrets of World War II episode 10: There have been larger land battles and more protracted air campaigns than Okinawa but this was a combined operation, unparalleled in size, scope and ferocity.

Thousands of Americans perished, and the Japanese lost ten times as many, along with their mightiest carrier, in what is described as "history's greatest madhouse." Discover the secret weapon that made such a decisive American victory possible -- and significantly shortened the entire war -- in "Target Okinawa: The Greatest Sea/Air Battle in History." https://hdclump.com/secrets-of-world-war-ii-episode-10/
