Weapons at War

From the seizure of Crimea to the war in Ukraine - and an uncertain future. The inside story of a decade of clashes, as told by the Western leaders who traded blows with Putin.

Documentary looking at the work of those who kept the armies fed and supplied during the Second World War.
For every one army in the field during World War Two, there were two behind, helping clothe, feed, house, arm, supply and organize. It was said to take three men to put one effective man onto the field of battle, and for the High Command of all armies, supplying their front line forces presented as big a problem as securing victory over the enemy. Napoleon Bonaparte once said 'An army marches on its stomach', this episode proves that adage to be very true.
