In this episode, A Century on Film draws on rare archival footage to examine World War II. We see a nighttime bombing raid by the German Luftwaffe, and a plucky British eatery continuing to serve customers amid the rubble. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacks the US naval base at Pearl Harbor. Men of all ages, including Clark Gable and Joe DiMaggio, rush to volunteer for military service. In 1942, Germany's program to exterminate the Jews enters a new phase. Footage showing Jews being transported was taken covertly. The World War II was unprecedented in the scale of its attacks on unarmed civilians.
