Scotland's VE Day: Countdown to Victory

Documentary. Scotland remembers the men and women who battled to bring Hitler's forces to their knees.

Scotland remembers the men and women who battled to bring Hitler's forces to their knees. Behind the flags and bunting of popular memory, the last week of the European war witnessed incredible tales of endurance, compassion and cruelty.

Bombers that had rained destruction on German cities dropped food to the starving Dutch. Scottish POWs were held hostage by their Russian 'allies'. At home an exhausted nation awaited the final German surrender. Across Europe, on land, sea and air, Scotland's heroes remember the last week of their war.
