Winning World War I: The Western Front Diaries
Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: angielski
The Anzac's Western Front campaign had a greater impact than Gallipoli in almost every aspect: five times more soldiers served and were killed there, more than five times as many battles took place, and it was there that an astounding 52 Victoria Crosses were awarded to Australians. This feature-length film recreates the Australian contribution to some of the most famous battles of the war, such as Fromelles, Pozieres, Ypres, Passchendaele and Amiens. As screened on Foxtel's The History Channel, here is the moving dramatisation of The Western Front diaries, the landmark book written by Jonathan King to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War. Now direct from the battlefields he presents this exciting story of how tough-fighting Australians helped win the war. Using brutally honest and extraordinary eyewitness accounts, this dramatic story comes straight from soldiers who actually fought in those bloody trenches. Narrated by Jack Thompson.
