Resistance to Nazi occupation and oppression has been a constant throughout the war. In the summer of 1944, two cities revolt against the Nazis but meet very different outcomes. And some, living and dying through the Holocaust, take their fate into their own hands and mount organized resistance in the direst of circumstances. World War II with Tom Hanks is a premium retelling of the Second World War, drawing on rarely seen archival material, evocative storytelling, and insights from leading historians worldwide, including the UK. The series spans the full global conflict from Germany’s invasion of Poland through the rise and fall of the Axis powers, capturing battles across land, sea, and air. The exclusive series explores the human cost of war, including the Holocaust, civilian resistance, and life on the home front, while also revealing the hidden wars of espionage, codebreaking, and industrial might that shaped the outcome of the conflict.
