Description

In the summer of 1940, the fate of the free world rested on the shoulders of a few brave pilots - and a secret technology that the Nazis didn't even know existed. This documentary tells the incredible story of Radar, from its humble beginnings as a failed "death ray" experiment to the massive "Chain Home" towers that guarded the English coast. Discover how Robert Watson Watt and his team of scientists outsmarted the Luftwaffe and turned the tide in the Battle of the Atlantic. You can now become a History Hit member right here on YouTube!
