Battle Stations - Technology Of Warfare - Mulberry Harbours & Duck Landing

2 DVD - PAL - Region 2

THE HISTORY CHANNEL TELEVISION SERIES

MULBERRY HARBOURS: Recognising the huge risk in capturing German-held ports in occupied France, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued his famous memo 'Piers for use on Beaches' outlining the most audacious plan of the Second World War. The Allies would build and tow two enormous harbours across 100 miles of Nazi infested waters as they launched the invasion of Europe in June 1944.

"DUCK" LANDING: Designed in 1942, its official name was the DUKW Amphibious Vehicle but to the American G.I.s in World War Two, it was the "Duck". The slowest and least lovely vessel ever to put to sea, the 'Duck' proved to be a vital machine in the Allied amphibious victories - from the D-Day beaches in Normandy to the Pacific Islands of Saipan and Iwo Jima.

Special Features include:-

• Interview with Brigadier Mervyn Walters, Commander Mulberry "B"
• Interview with Jim Hines, Duck Driver
