The first episode of this two part series uses oral histories to explore the experiences and perspectives of children during the Second World War.  It interweaves oral histories with contemporary news reports and children's testimonies from the time to offer a new, younger narrative of war. Covering the role evacuation played on children's lives, as well as prisoners of war, American GI's, German bombardment and Victory in Europe and Japan, it focuses on the emotional experiences of a generation whose voices are often consumed into a wider, more dominant adult narrative.
