WW1/Episode 10 - Looking Back

PROFESSOR MARK CONNELLY shows how memory and remembrance have played a key role in the way later generations have interpreted the First World War. Memories of the past tend to mirror the concerns of the present: Britain, Germany and other nations have largely shaped their view of the Great War in response to their own immediate agendas rather than any quest for the truth.
