Netflix has added Britain and the Blitz, a new documentary about Britain during the darkest days of World War Two.

The film features restored archival footage and first-hand accounts from those who lived through the devastating German bombing campaign, which lasted from September 1940 to May 1941. The Nazis hoped the bombing would destory Britain's morale and force it out of the war.
