The Battle Of Britain (1943) **

The fourth segment of the "Why We Fight" series is also one of the weakest. Its very narrow topic (bombing raids on England in the fall of 1940) would better fit a short rather than a feature film. By comparison, the second segment of the series, "The Nazis Strike" (1942), which dealt with far larger subjects (annexations of Austria and Czechoslovakia, as well as the invasion of Poland), was a much shorter film.
