D-Day to Berlin: Newsnight Special
BBC4 - June 6 2009

George Stevens's remarkable film is acclaimed by historians as the most important colour footage taken during the war. Milestones covered include the liberation of Paris, the link-up between the Russian and American armies on the River Elbe and the Allied capture of the Dachau concentration camp.

It was originally broadcast to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the D-Day landings, journalist turned author Robert Harris presented this Newsnight Special where for the first time George Stevens unseen colour footage, filmed from June 6th 1944 through to April 1945, was given it's first public airing. Over the years some of this footage has been used in many documentaries and even released on DVD in 1994 narrated by George Stevens Jnr.

However this version has only been repeated once since transmission, the following year in 1985, and includes footage that over the years has been deemed too shocking for public viewing and has been removed from all other releases.

Originally broadcast on June 5th 1984.
