World War II

"Life During Wartime"
The E. Stanley Wright Museum of American Enterprise

"Dawn of the Atomic Age: The Trinity Site"
The semi-annual open house at the site of the first atomic bomb explosion provides a rare opportunity to visit the birthplace of the Atomic Age.

"Remembering the Day Infamy"
A haunting memorial recalls the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941, while a battleship commemorates the war's end.

"Cabinet War Rooms"
A safe haven for British politicians during the Blitz.

"Bomber Country"
Hitler's air campaign against England failed to prepare the way for invasion, and as the tide of war turned, RAF Bomber Command, joined by the mighty U.S. Army Eighth Air Force, took the war to the enemy with round-the-clock bombing raids launched from dozens of airfields hastily constructed throughout south-eastern England.

"The Landings"
At Utah Beach they came from the sea; in the village of Sainte-Mère-Église they arrived from the air. More than a half century later, the people in this part of France have vivid memories of the D-Day invasion.

"Bletchley Park"
Breakers of the Code
