Walking Wartime Britain

Arthur Williams visits Liverpool, Britain's most important port during the Second World War, discovering how it was flattened during the deadly "May Blitz."

Arthur walks through South Devon, a region that witnessed an unprecedented influx of wartime visitors, from London's evacuee children to American GIs and troop ships.

Arthur explores the Blitz, visiting St. Paul's Cathedral, which miraculously survived the bombing, and learning how Londoners coped with the chaos of the onslaught.

Arthur takes a walk through Hampshire, a hotbed of secret operations during the war, from Spitfire factories and a clandestine bombing range to the school for Churchill's spies.

Arthur discovers how East Anglians did everything in their power to prevent a Nazi invasion, from building coastal defences to joining the Home Guard.

Arthur visits the industrial heartland of wartime Britain, where he learns about barrage balloons, Bevan Boys, Land Girls, and the forgotten tale of 70 German POWs.
