Watch Warfile: Kent at War

A deeply personal, emotional and sometimes humorous account from the people of Kent and their memories of World War Two. Its proximity to Europe means Kent was always going to be the frontline of England's defenses and the inhabitants of the coastal county had to adapt quickly to their new position as prime targets for Hitler's armed forces. Having dealt with years of bombing raids and land-based shelling from France, Hitler then unleashed a new weapon that had devastating consequences - the V1 and V2 rockets. Combining wartime footage and new film shot at various locations around Kent, this video is a touching archive of memories from those who witnessed the horrors of war first hand and a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives and those who displayed their true British fighting spirit.
