A Total War is all encompassing, a war without boundary or limitation. It is a war of material and morale. A war that mobilizes, destroys and displaces civilian populations. The Second World War was a war in which massive armies advanced, confronting whole populations with impossible choices.

Told through archive footage and expert interviews, we learn how WWII shattered the boundaries between home-front and battlefield.
