The Second World War is a huge topic to cover. We help to make the conflict accessible, through the use of real experiences and by selecting key events. While developing a clear chronology, students will be able to make decisions as to when and why victory looked out of reach and how the odds turned in favour of the Allies.
Case studies will be drawn from: Appeasement, Phoney War, Blitzkrieg, Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, Eastern Front and the USSR, Pearl Harbour and the USA, North Africa, Italy, D-Day, the road to Berlin
