Wynford Vaughan-Thomas

Um das batalhas mais sangrentas da WW2 com os Aliados rompendo as linhas alemãs que tinham se fechado na cabeça de peaia de Anzio. Quatro meses e 30.000 mortes depois os Aliados finalmente marcham para Roma. As Forças Aliadas desembarcam em Anzio sem oposição, mas em vez de avançar em linha reta para o interior seu comandante decide cavar, se entrincheirar. Um correspondente de guerra aguerrido pega emprestado um jipe, vai até Roma e volta sem encontrar quaisquer forças alemãs, mas o seu relatório sobre esta ausência do inimigo é desconsiderado. No momento em que os generais finalmente resolvem fazer algum movimento de avanço os alemães já tinham conseguido montar a sua defesa e uma luta prolongada e sangrenta se inicia.

Warwick company newsreel material of the Universal Colliery at Senghenydd on fire after an explosion on 14th October 1913, and footage of a funeral procession for some of the 439 mine workers who were killed, is followed by a collage of images of the town and its people as they are 50 years later.
