Episode 01 - Bomber Command: Hitting Back

After surviving the German bombing campaign of British cities, RAF Bomber Command struck back against Germany. The campaign took a tremendous toll in lives, a cost also borne by the Germans on the ground.

Hitting Back takes the viewer through a strategic bombing sortie, as experienced by Allied personnel on the ground and in the air, German military, and survivors of the attacks. The devastating consequences of raids, for both for the young men in the skies and the people on the ground, are vividly portrayed in this film.
