I was reading this thread and it made me remember exactly what, uncannily, you have just posted. The very opening moments of the magnificent World at War series, which I have never forgotten. As a young boy sat watching in front of the tv it haunted me then; even now, when I have since watched the series so many more times, it stills sends a shiver down my spine when I hear Lord Olivier’s words with those images…
