BATTLEFIELD - Great Sea Battles of WWII takes you inside three of the greatest naval engagements in history, including The Battle of Miday, where the Americans turned the tide against the Rising Sun, The Battle of Leyte Gulf, and the epic The Battle of the Atlantic.

Now for the first time TMG and NBC Universal bring you these detailed accounts of the pivotal battles of World War II. Each episode covers one great battle, featuring portraits of the leaders and commanders, explanations of weapons and tactics, a review of the political and military situation leading up to the battle, troop deployment, and the story of the battle itself.

  • Narrated by Tim Pigot-Smith (V for Vendetta, Quantum of Solace)
    • Rare Archival footage from vaults around the world

 

Disc 1

The Battle of Midway
In a classical naval engagement, the American and Japanese navies squared off in the carrier-to-carrier
battle of Midway. Both sides knew that the victor would rule the Pacific for decades to come.

 

Disc 2

The Battle of Leyte Gulf
To restore American prestige in the Pacific, President Franklin Roosevelt authorized an invasion of the Philippines, a former American Territory and the scene of a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Japanese in 1942.

 

Disc 3

The Battle of the Atlantic
The longest continuous military campaign of WWII, The Battle of the Atlantic raged across the ocean from 1939 till 1945, pitting feared U-boats and other German navel warships against Allied shipping and troop convoys.
