How We Won the War: The Midlands

Series 1, episode 5

Jules Hudson seeks out the World War II stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. He journeys through the Midlands to hear about the emotional bonds formed between American paratroopers and the people of Nottingham, travels the canals to explore how a small band of women kept essential supplies flowing during the war, and discovers how the factories of Birmingham provided just about everything that was needed in the nation's fight against Nazi Germany. episode 5
