1. Submarine Warfare (1998)
In the late 1800s the father of submarines, Mr John Holland, hit upon the idea of powering a submarine with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.
For a hundred years since the first semi-successful attempts during the American Civil War, submarine warfare had been fraught with difficulties and failure. In 1901, the Holland I was launched by the Royal Navy and submarines have been an integral part of the Navy ever since.
The Second World War showed the first widespread use of these underwater vessels and their major advantages. Today nuclear submarines roam waters all over the world, for exploration and to keep the peace.
Featuring rare archive footage, 3-D graphics and film of some of the last surviving World War Two submarines, this is a privileged glimpse into the world of submarine warfare.

2. Amphibious Warfare (1997)
Throughout World War Two, there were many dramatic and spectacular seaborne invasions, some of which would have a major bearing on the course and eventual outcome of the conflict. Much blood was spilt as men attacked beachheads from Tunisia to Normandy.
Amphibious Warfare is a remarkable record of seaborne invasions during the Second World War. It features powerful action footage, including extensive images from the Normandy landings, and brand new state-of-the-art computer graphics.

3. U-Boat Battles (1997)
Perhaps the most important victory won by the allies in the west was the triumph over the deadly German U-boat. Once a harbinger of death for merchant shipping and its escorts, by 1943 the British and American fleets had gained the upper hand and the U-boat had become the hunted rather than the hunter.
This film features extensive footage from the Battle of the Atlantic, and of U-534 the last surviving U-Boat in Western Europe. She was sunk in the Baltic in 1945 and raised again to the surface intact in 1993.
On board U-534 the treasures of World War II were preserved as if in aspic. Now for the first time in over 50 years we can experience again the claustrophobic world of the U-boats.
