    The Last Days Of WWII July 1-7.
    Tune in: Friday, November 30 @ 10:00 PM ET/PT

    In the Great Sundra Islands, 33,000 Australian troops land at Balikpapan, while three escort carriers provide naval support. The Allies now control one of the richest oil-producing areas in Asia. In Berlin, the first US occupation troops arrive as Allied forces hold a victory parade. Meanwhile, rumors circulate that Hitler is still alive. In Manila, US General Douglas MacArthur declares the Philippines free from Japanese occupation. In Britain, Prime Minister Winston Churchill loses the General Election to the Labour Party led by Clement Atlee. But the results are not known for another three weeks. We also take a look at the US Curtis P-40 Kittyhawk and its important combat role under General Chennault against the Japanese in China. By the summer of 1945, USAF Major-General Claire Chennault--known as "Old Leather Face"--was in command of a combined wing of the Chinese and US air forces.

    The Lost Evidence:

    The Lost Evidence 14 - Breakout from Normandy
    Tune in: Friday, November 30 @ 11:00 PM ET/PT

    July 10th 1944. For six long weeks since D-Day, Allied forces have been caught in a battle trying to breakout of the invasion beachhead at Normandy. In the East, the British and Canadian Armies are fighting to take the city of Caen, and have suffered over 26,000 casualties and in the West, the US forces, in just 12 days, lose over 10,000 troops. In a final throw of the dice, the Allied commanders come up with an audacious plan, operation Cobra. If successful, they will split the German forces and sweep into France. Aerial reconnaissance photographs taken at the time have now been layered over a 3 dimensional contour map to create a CGI "model" of the battle. For the first time these original high-resolution images, allows the viewer to track the battle, step by step, from the air. Individual stories of courage and heroism can be placed in the exact location where they took place.
