Something for British and Irish Poly people to watch, and those in nearby Eurolandia (Belgium, The Netherlands) who can receive BBC 2.
A new series with Peter and Dan Snow who've moved further afield from the battlefields of the United Kingdom to battlefields of the 20th Century.
It started last night with the Battle of Amiens, which saw an Allied offensive which combined new tactics, new technology and new troops, freshly trained, to drive back Ludendorff's Kaiserschlacht Offensive.
Think of 'Time Commanders' demonstartions on a smaller scale, interspersed with documentary footage from the time...

If only my history teachers at school had resembled Dan Snow... ...I'd have done no work at all.

Peter Snow is a highly respected journalist, author and broadcaster. He was ITN's Diplomatic and Defence Correspondent from 1966 to 1979, and presented Newsnight, the BBC's flagship news and current affairs programme, from 1980 to 1997.
An indispensable part of election nights, Peter has also covered military matters on and off the world's battlefields for 40 years, and his 'sand table' graphic CGI displays have given television viewers vivid commentaries on warfare in all parts of the world.
His son and partner, Dan Snow, won a first-class degree in history at Balliol College, Oxford, where he developed a passion for military history, specializing in the First World War. Since graduation he has written articles on military history and sailing, and together with his father, he researched, wrote and hosted the BBC series 'Battlefield Britain' which aired in 2004. Since that time they have been hard at work on their new series '20th Century Battlefields', a project of much broader scope that utilizes the same innovative production effects that earned them several awards for their earlier military history programs.
