Get the inside stories of the military tactics in three wellknown historic battles

Alexander the Great defeats the Persians at Gaugamela (331 BC):

In 331 BC, the two most powerful armies in the world met outside a small village in what is now part of Northern Iraq.

On one side stood Alexander the Great, the young King of Macedon, with his small but highly trained force. Opposing him was Darius, the King of Persia, and his army of 250,000 warriors. What took place at the Battle of Gaugamela is viewed as one of the greatest military engagements of the ancient world.

This film reveals how Alexander's brilliant military tactics allowed him to prevail against seemingly overwhelming odds to become the master of the known world.

Battle of the Bulge (1944):

In December 1944, Hitler launched 200,000 troops and over 500 tanks against Allied lines in Belgium in a desperate attempt to stave off defeat. Caught off guard, the Allied forces were pushed back, with the new frontlines forming a bulge into their controlled territory.

For the next 41 days the two opposing armies engaged in fierce pitched battles that would eventually claim more that 160,000 casualties and determine the outcome of World War II.

This film details how the tactics of the Allied forces repelled this massive offensive, breaking the back of the German army and exposing Hitler to the Red Army in the East and ultimate defeat.

Battle of Waterloo (1815):

On 15th June 1815 the fate of Europe rested in the hands of two distinguished generals. Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, had marshalled his forces together in an attempt to control the entire continent. Opposing him was an army of British, Dutch and Prussian Allies, led by the brilliant commander The Duke of Wellington.

At Waterloo, 200,000 troops clashed in a brutal battle that changed the course of world history.

This film highlights the tactics employed during this brutal one-day confrontation and how it became the last stand, and ultimate defeat, for one of the greatest military geniuses to have ever lived.
