Description
On 7 December 1941, while Japanese aviation has just sunk a large part of the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbour, Roosevelt puts the United States in a state of war and decides to focus the main efforts not against Japan but against Germany. Elected to make Peace, Roosevelt, almost alone, did everything to provoke the Japanese and launch America into war alongside the democracies. Without him, Germany would probably have won.

Fifty years ago, film crews for the Allied Expeditionary Force entered Nazi concentration camps to find atrocities beyond their imagination. Kept in a vault at London's Imperial War Museum since 1945, the film shows tragic images of the genocide including scenes of gas chambers, experimentation labs and the haunted, starving survivors. Some footage was filmed moments before the camps where liberated, as Nazi soldiers hurried to cover evidence.
