English Summary:

Battlefield is an American documentary series that debuted in 1994 on PBS that explores the most important battles fought primarily during the Second World War and the Vietnam War. The series employs a novel approach in which history is described by detailed accounts of major battles together with background and contextual information. The sixth and final series of the program was broadcast in 2002.

The series provides a comprehensive narrative of the war; in addition to traditional tactical details, subjects such as personalities and motivations of the leaders, technological developments, management of war economies, strategic contributions of smaller battles, etc. are explored in terms of their contribution to particular turning points. The narrator (Tim Pigott-Smith) speaks throughout the series, seasons 1, 2, and 4, with no interviews of actual battle veterans. The show is entirely made up of archive footage and 3D graphics. Rare archive film, including rare colour footage specific to each battle is included.

Battlefield presents a detailed analysis of the battle including leaders, commanders, soldiers and weapons. The show describes the events preceding the featured battle as well as details about its aftermath. The show also goes in depth to explain the political and military situation leading up to each battle, details about relevant weapons and tactics, analysis of the battle's cause, and its context in the war as a whole-all while using informative maps and graphical depictions of relative strength of the respective forces and their movements during the battle in question.

Episodes consist of two hour (100 minute) programs. Each episode of Battlefield is divided into segments. A typical sequence is as follows:

 

  • Prelude to Battle / Order of Battle / The Leaders / Strategy for Offense / Strategy for Defense / The Commanders / The Opposing Forces / Weapons / The Men / The Eve of Battle / The Battle, several Phases / The Battle Won / After the Battle

 

 

The Battle of the Atlantic, the longest continuous military campaign in World War II, ran from 1939 to the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, covering a major part of the Naval history of World War II. At its core was the Allied naval blockade of Germany, announced the day after the declaration of war, and Germany's subsequent counter-blockade. The campaign peaked from mid-1940 through to the end of 1943.

The Battle of the Atlantic pitted U-boats and other warships of the German Kriegsmarine (Navy) and aircraft of the Luftwaffe (Air Force) against the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, United States Navy, and Allied merchant shipping. Convoys, coming mainly from North America and predominantly going to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, were protected for the most part by the British and Canadian navies and air forces. These forces were aided by ships and aircraft of the United States beginning September 13, 1941. The Germans were joined by submarines of the Italian Regia Marina (Royal Navy) after Germany's Axis ally Italy entered the war on June 10, 1940.

 

Hungarian Summary:

A CSATAMEZŐK sorozat alapos és átfogó képet nyújt a II. Világháború sorsdöntő csatáiról: részletesen mutatja be az egyes csaták parancsnokait, katonáit és fegyvereit. Az eseményeken túl megismerhetjük a csaták kirobbanásának indítékát és azok következményeit is, a kor katonai- és politikai helyzetével együtt. A sorozat nagyszerű lehetőséget ad arra, hogy még többet tudjunk meg a II. Világháború napjainkra is nagy hatást gyakorló eseményeiről. 1940 júniusa és 1945 májusa között a Harmadik Birodalom és a nyugati szövetségesek a második világháború leghosszabb csatáját vívták egymással, az Atlanti-óceán feletti ellenőrzés megszerzéséért. A csata kimenetele mindkét oldal számára sorsdöntő volt. Az Atlanti csatában Németország totális vereséget akart mérni Nagy-Britanniára úgy, hogy a légierő erejével elvágják a szigetország utánpótlási útvonalait és ezáltal megtörik a briteket. Hitler azonban végzetesen elszámolta magát: Németország ugyanis úgy kezdett háborút, hogy haditengerészete még korántsem készült fel tökéletesen. A németek nem voltak képesek elvágni az atlanti utánpótlási útvonalakat, így a szövetségesek idővel hatalmas hadianyagkészletet és csapattesteket halmoztak fel Angliában.
