The Secret War
Sergio IQ
A compilation of the 1977 BBC series The Secret War, a documentary on British scientific and technical efforts in WWII, including radar, German navigation beams and V-weapons. It features interviews with people who were there, including Albert Speer.
HN readers recommend it as a detailed, intelligent documentary about wartime technology that assumes viewers aren't stupid.
