The second world war the most bloodiest and costliest war of the 20th century. This documentary shows the start of the war from the British perspective. With archival footage of military action and political events during 1939 just before and after the start of the war and interviews with former military personnel including many RAF pilots, and civilians most of whom were children at the time, this film tries to re-create the feeling of excitement and panic among the population of UK at the start of the war. It also shows the military preparedness or the lack of it from the British side and the chaos in the British military at the start of the war. The film also contains an interview with a former Polish soldier who describes the invasion of Poland in 1939 by the German and Russian armed forces and how Poland was thoroughly unprepared for the conflict.
