 VICTORY IN EUROPE.....D-DAY TO V-E DAY: FIRST TIME IN FULL COLOUR VICTORY IN EUROPE IS THE FIRST AND ONLY ALL-COLOUR PORTRAYAL OF THE MOMENTOUS EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN EUROPE BETWEEN D-DAY IN 1944 AND V-E DAY IN 1945. A LANDMARK IN THE HISTORY OF MILITARY PUBLISHING, THESE UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM RECENTLY DISCOVERED FILM MADE DURING THE LAST YEAR OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR BY THE AWARD-WINNING HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR, GEORGE STEVENS. EARLY IN 1944 STEVENS WAS ASKED BY GENERAL EISENHOWER TO ORGANIZE A FILM UNIT WHITCH WOULD TRAVEL WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES DURING THE LANDINGS IN FRANCE AND FOLLOW THEIR CAMPAIGN IN EUROPE. IN ADDITION TO THE UNIT'S OFFICIAL COVERAGE OF THE WAR, STEVENS RECORDED THESE HISTORIC EVENTS HIMSELF ON COLOUR FILM, WHICH WAS THEN SENT TO CALIFORNIA WHERE IT REMAINED FOR NEARLY FORTY YEARS. VICTORY IN EUROPE IS INTRODUCED BY GEORGE STEVENS, Jr. WHO EXPLAINS HOW HIS FATHER MADE THE FILM AND TELLS THE STORY OF ITS REDISCOVERY. ACCOMPANIED BY AN AUTHORITATIVE COMMENTARY BY BRITAIN'S LEADING WAR HISTORIAN MAX HASTINGS, AND NINE INFORMATIVE MAPS, THESE PICTURES TELL THE STORY OF THE STRUGGLE FOR EUROPE; FROM D-DAY AND THE GREATEST NAVAL INVASION IN HISTORY TO THE LIBERATION OF PARIS, FROM THE ARDENNES AND THE BATTLE OF A MILLION TOOPS TO THE HORROR OF THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND THE FINAL COLLAPSE OF THE NAZI REGIME.

II), born Karol J?zef Wojty?a[a] (Polish: [?kar?l ?juz?v v?j?t?wa] 18 May 1920 ¿ 2 April 2005), was pope from 1978 to 2005. He is widely known to Catholics as Saint John Paul the Great, especially in the names of institutions.He was elected by the second Papal conclave of 1978, which was called after Pope John Paul I, who had been elected in August after the death of Pope Paul VI, died after thirty-three days. Cardinal Wojty?a was elected on the third day of the conclave and adopted his predecessor's name in tribute to him. John Paul II is recognised as helping to end Communist rule in his native Poland and eventually all of Europe. John Paul II significantly improved the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion. He upheld the Church's teachings on such matters as artificial contraception and the ordination of women, but also supported the Church's Second Vatican Council and its reforms. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
