This program offers an intimate perspective on events in 1940, with Europe at Hitler's mercy and Britain standing alone. FINEST HOUR recalls in vivid detail a time when the world's destiny hung in the balance. From Spitfire pilots to teenage evacuees, from Coventry firemen to women and children caught up in the Blitz, personal testimonies, diaries, and memoirs cut through nostalgic haze to bring out a shining moment in history.
