Story
Stanley Aylett's remarkable account of six years' service as a front-line surgeon with the British Army is that rare thing: a complete narrative from the first week of the Second World War until months after the final capitulation of Nazi Germany. That war was the last Western conflict in which military surgeons performed operations immediately behind the front line, often in makeshift theatres set up in tents or abandoned, battle-scarred buildings. Surgeon at War records the resilience and resourcefulness of the medical teams.

Story
Adolf Hitler was one of six children born to his mother, and one of eight born to his father from two of his three marriages. When Hitler killed himself in April 1945, all his siblings were still living and some had children of their own. So, what happened to them? Revised and updated, this is a fascinating study of a little-known side of Hitler's history, as well as a riveting account of how David Gardner traced and contacted the survivors of a bloodline that most of the world probably hoped had become extinct.

Story
They were the unsung heroines of World War II: the women who clocked in daily to work in vast munitions factories, helping to make explosives, bullets, shells, bombs and war machines that would ensure victory. A factory accident could mean blindness, loss of limb or worse. Yet this hidden army of nearly two million women toiled on, regardless, through the hardest years of the war.

Story
Tuesday, 8th May 1945: Victory in Europe Day. A day of joyous celebration, as the end of a conflict which had engulfed the world came within touching distance. Millions of people celebrated in the streets throughout Britain. Yet not all was right in the world. Struggles remained ahead - war still raged on between the Allies and Japan. Agreements and treaties were yet to be forged. Lives continued to be lost around the world.

Story
Rob Driscoll, former sergeant with 42 Commando, Royal Marines, served tours in Iraq, Kuwait and Kosovo. A born leader of fighting men, with the medals to prove it, he also endured three tours in Afghanistan. The third of those will go down in history as one of the UK military's darkest hours, for it marked the first time a British serviceman has been tried for a murder on the battlefield since the Second World War.
