A remarkable "colourised" account of Britain's holding-of-the-line against the Germans during WWII. By 1943, after the Battle of El Alamein, an Allied victory looked likely but still a long way off. The invasion of Sicily caused considerable loss of life, and back home the population was exhausted.
