Gladiators Of WWII - The Chindits
A detailed history of the Chindits after their beginnings when, lead by Lieutenant Colonel Orde Wingate, they cut the vital Mandalay-Mytikyina railway. The Chindits, known as the Gladiators of the Jungle, set out as a crew of 3000 to defeat the Japanese through the rough terrain, but a third never returned and 600 never went back to active soldiering. Their final operation was to capture the Burmese town of Moguang and that too was successful and proved that the British could match the once thought of undefeatable Japanese in the Pacific.

Gladiators Of WWII - The S.O.E.
In July 1940, when Axis forces occupied Western Europe, the Special Operations Executive was set up by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to 'set Europe ablaze'. SOE deployed secret agents to support resistance movements in Occupied Europe and worked with them to prepare for Liberation. Although they worked far from the battlefields, the men and women of the SOE were among the bravest Gladiators of World War II. From an anonymous building in London's Baker Street, agents were provided with cover stories, false identity cards, ration books and clandestine weapons like exploding cigarettes and itching powder for German underwear. Young men and women were sent alone into enemy occupied territory, knowing that they could be shot as spies if captured. This programme examines SOE's most successful raid - on the Norsk-Hydro plant in Telemark, Norway, and its most disastrous episode - Englandspiel in Holland. Former agents tell remarkable stories of bravery and sacrifice in the face of capture, torture and death as they operated under the very noses of the enemy.

Gladiators Of WWII - The Paras And Commandos
The Commandos were specially formed by Winston Churchill after 4 years of Nazi occupation in Europe and a disastrous Allied defence strategy. Their purpose was to take the fight back to the Nazis and bring hope to all of the enslaved peoples of Europe. Initially made up of ten units, each of 500 men, the Commandos were recruited from every regiment and corps of the British Army. Supremely fit, highly skilled experts in unarmed combat, they were trained with a variety of weapons and operated behind enemy lines in intensely dangerous situations. From the Commandos came the Paras, trained to infiltrate enemy territory by parachute. Including archive footage and interviews with former Commandos, this tells the story of their most famous exploits; Bruneval, Saint Nazare, Dieppe, Pegasus Bridge and Operation Market Garden.

Gladiators Of WWII - The S.A.S.
Captured on camera, on the 5th of May 1980, the British Army's elite Special Air Service stormed the Iranian Embassy in London, where hostages were being held by Iraqi terrorists. Within ten minutes, the terrorists were killed, and the remaining hostages rescued. Who were these black-clad men in balaclavas, who resolved the conflict with such ruthless efficiency? This programme examines the SAS, from its conception as a small, deep-penetration raiding force led by Commanding Officer David Stirling in the deserts of Libya and Egypt in World War II, to its work on the modern day battlefields in the Falklands and Gulf wars. Today the SAS is among the best special services in the world. Its men are the toughest of the tough, and those who have served in it over the 60 years since its inception have lived and fought unswervingly under the motto on their cap badges: 'Who Dares Wins'.

Gladiators Of WWII - The Royal Navy
In World War II the Royal Navy saw action in every one of the world's oceans. At the beginning of the war it was the largest navy in the world, and with Winston Churchill as the First Lord of the Admiralty, it was a fearsome opponent. From the Home Fleet base at Scapa Flow in the Orkneys, and the Mediterranean Fleet base at Alexandria, the sacrifice made by the Royal Navy during World War II was great: 5 capital ships, 10 carriers, 31 cruisers, and 146 destroyers. Over 50,000 of its personnel perished. With archive footage and computer graphic reconstruction, this programme shows a selection of the crucial battles and missions of the Royal Navy in World War II, including the Battle of the Atlantic, the Arctic Convoys, the Battle of the River Plate and the Sinking of the Graf Spee. Also featured: the battle between HMS Hood and the Bismarck, and the story of Convoy ONS5, which proved that the Navy-escorted convoys were a match for the U-boat menace.

Gladiators Of WWII - The Norwegian Resistance
For five years during World War 2, the Nazis occupied Norway. They were plagued by organised resistance; relatively small numbers of brave men and women, operating in the bleak and mountainous countryside. Theirs was a war of small actions and narrow escapes...the threat of capture, torture, and death was constant...and successful attacks could result in reprisals on civilians. Fishing boats slipped in and out of the long Norwegian coastline, carrying agents and information. 'Radio Spied' monitored the German fleet in the distant and isolated fjords, and provided weather reports for the D-Day landings. Specially trained commando forces prevented the movement of 'heavy water', vital to Hitler's atomic bomb project. With the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, the 60,000 members of Milorg, the resistance network, took the surrender of the German garrison, now swollen to 365,000 men. One of the greatest achievements of the Norwegian Resistance had been to tie down large numbers of Nazi troops, who would otherwise have been fighting in mainland Europe.

Univ of Georgia Anthropology Gladiators - Bloodsport Of The Colosseum
A historically accurate look at the gladiators of ancient Rome is presented in this documentary filmed mostly in Rome and at the famed ruins of Pompeii. The roots of gladiatorial combat is traced to the harshness of Roman culture, and the way fighting between slaves went from casual attractions in town squares to enormous spectacles in specially built arenas throughout the Roman empire is explained by historians. Much of what we know about gladiators emerged from clues found when the buried Roman city of Pompeii was excavated and carefully examined, and drawings of gladiators found on walls in the ancient city are shown. The Roman gladiators became wildly popular cult figures, managed by businessmen and chased by what today we would call groupies. The sport of combat became increasingly violent, with each successive emperor raising the stakes until literally hundreds of people were involved in bloody spectacles staged for the entertainment of a screaming crowd. Using films of scholars who faithfully re-enact the roles of gladiators, as well as stock footage from Hollywood productions, this documentary provides a fairly comprehensive introduction to how gladiators lived, fought and died. --<I>Robert J. McNamara</I>
