WW2 historians James Holland & Al Murray are back aboard HMS Belfast, watching rare archive footage — including vivid colour film — of one of the most overlooked theatres of the entire war: Britain's coastal waters. Coal had to reach London. Supplies had to move. And every mile of coastline was a killing ground.
Watching The War is a WW2 documentary series produced in partnership with the Imperial War Museums (IWM). Filmed on location aboard HMS Belfast and drawing on original WW2 footage from the IWM archives, this military history series explores the Royal Navy at war through the eyes of those who fought it.
