'Heroes' is the story of an extraordinary generation of young men,
mostly British, who came of age in the Second World War. These
young men - and women - found themselves facing life-threatening
danger and the kind of responsibility few would be prepared to
shoulder today. Whether fighting in the jungles of Burma or on the
D-Day beaches, as submariners, pilots, spies or prisoners of war,
young soldiers in WWII displayed astonishing courage and
resilience, united by honour and bound by the fellowship of their
comrades. Those who made it home are now a passing generation, and
for many this is the last chance for them to tell their stories -
men like football legend Tom Finney, who saw action in southern
Italy; or James Bond set-designer Ken Adam, a German Jew who flew
as a fighter pilot for the RAF; or identical twins Tom and Dee
Bowles, who landed together on Easy Red beach on D-Day. Many of
these young men never returned home and those who did faced
insurmountable challenges assimiliating back into civilian life.
'Heroes' is a moving and uplifting tribute to an remarkable
generation.
