Audience Member Though not on par with The Battle of Britain, it’s an excellent portrayal of the British fighting spirit that was the first light in defeating the Nazis, and worthy of the first Academy Award for Best Short Film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member WWII short subject 21 minute Oscar winner explains the early war on Britain from Germany in WWII. Lots of combat footage captured from German sources. While propaganda, it's still informative and great stuff for Memorial Day.

It presents the strategy of the Battle of Britain, showing with penetrating clarity the relationship of the various forces that went to make up the island's defences. Here is the Royal Air Force in it's epic battle with the Luftwaffe, the Navy in its stubborn fight against the raiders of sea and sky, the coastal defences, the mechanized cavalry, the merchant seamen and behind them all, Britain's tough, unbending civilian army."
