This film interweaves stories of extraordinary courage, terrible suffering and
miraculous survival from servicemen and women between 1942 and 1945. We meet
the bomber boys who flew on some of the most dangerous missions of the war. We
discover what it was like for the soldiers who helped turn the tide against the
Germans - from El Alamein to the beaches of Normandy. We hear from the
frontline nurses who risked everything to care for them. And we find out what
it took to survive years of hard labour, disease and punishment as a prisoner
in the far east. The fight for freedom was finally won in 1945 - only then did
the full truth about the extermination of Jews in German concentration camps
finally come to light.
We begin with the extraordinary story of Fergus Anckorn, who was once the
youngest member of the Magic Circle and - at 96 - is now the oldest. He was
captured and taken prisoner by the Japanese in Singapore, then miraculously
survived a massacre of wounded British soldiers. He was put to work on the
Burma Railway, but - starved and beaten - he used his magic to entertain the
Japanese troops, who rewarded him with food which helped keep him and his
fellow prisoners alive.
Alongside Fergus we hear other equally remarkable stories, like that of the
last surviving Dambuster Jonny Johnson. Raised on a farm in the East Anglian
countryside, he was to play a vital role in the Dambuster raid. Another bomber
boy, Bob Frost, emotionally recalls how his plane was shot down and how he
secretly made his way back across Europe to Britain, to be reunited with his
mother who feared he was dead.
We hear some deeply moving, untold stories from D-Day, the great turning point
in the war in Europe. Fred Glover, a boy soldier who lied about his age to join
the Parachute Regiment, tells the story of how he survived one of the dangerous
missions of all. We see rare footage of nurses like Betty Evans - one of the
unsung female heroes of D-Day - treating the injured troops behind the lines.
Today, these modest last survivors feel proud of the role they played in
helping to win the war. Their experience made them value the simple things in
life - freedom most of all.
