Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Victory in Europe, 50 Years Later

Victory in Europe, 50 Years Later

This program looks at the end of Allied victory over Nazi Germany in May 1945 and features four noted historians. Was the outcome of World War II inevitable? What are the lessons for today? In the current era of instant war coverage, could the United States again sustain such a prolonged and costly effort? Featured in the program are historian Stephen Ambrose, of the Univ. of New Orleans; Daniel Boorstin, Librarian of Congress Emeritus; historian David Fromkin of Boston University; and author Martin Blumenson, a World War II combat veteran. (26 minutes)
