The ‘Both Sides Of The Line’ programmes present a perfect opportunity to take the veterans of both armies of the Second World War back to the battle eld. Some are returning to the places where comrades fell and friends were lost for the very first time in almost sixty years; They are once more able to view scenes that, until now, existed only in their minds eye. But there is much more to these remarkable return visits. Here, in more peaceful times, former enemies meet once again. Men who faced each other in a desperate life-or-death struggle during the maelstrom of World War Two now share their memories together at the scenes of the war’s greatest battles. These emotional meetings provide compelling and powerful viewing.
