Information
------------------------------

Narrow Escapes of World War II tells the real stories of courageous and deadly fights against impossible odds. The extraordinary stories of heroes; men who stand up and fight when everything seems lost. Those brilliant generals, ferocious warriors and individual acts of courage that can turn the tide in a war, and whose stories can still be told as shining examples of bravery and courage. This series combines eyewitness and expert testimony with specially shot material, dramatic reconstruction and archive much of it previously unseen.
Revisit some of the most daring missions of World War II as recounted by leading historians, military experts, and occasionally by the participants themselves. These 13 gripping episodes feature operations that took place all over the world-from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the steppes of southern Russia, from the foothills of the Himalayas to the frozen waters of the Baltic and the skies over Nazi-occupied France. With the benefit of original film footage, informative maps, and dramatic recreations, Narrow Escapes tells stories of valor, suffering, dedication, and determination-exploits of bravery that helped shape the outcome of the Second World War and continue to inspire today.

A WMR Productions and IMG Entertainment Co-Production

7)  The Siege of Kohima
Feats of wartime derring-do. In 1944, 1,500 outnumbered British troops amazingly held Japanese forces at the key Burmese town of Kohima. Hear their amazing story. In a bid to topple the British Raj, 15000 Japanese troops invade India from neighboring Burma in March 1944. Their route takes them through Kohima, a sleepy village in the Himalayan foothills. If Kohima fell, the route to India would be open. In their way were just 1500 British troops, many from the West Kents, whose nickname was "the Dirty 500". Through gripping first-hand testimony, this film shows how the West Kents hung on for two weeks despite dwindling supplies of food and water down to just half a glass a day. This was vicious fighting, much of it hand to hand across the local British governor's tennis court. In the end, it was the Japanese who were routed
Outnumbered by ten to one, a tiny garrison of British and Indian soldiers stood firm against the might of the Imperial Japanese Army. One of the greatest sieges of WWII, the final conflict coming down to a matter of yards between enemy trenches. India, and it's wealth of natural resources, could have been at the mercy of the Japanese.
