Deopham Green tells the dramatic story of the men of the 452nd
Bomb Group and the British families who lived on or near their
base at Deopham Green in World War II England. The documentary
begins with the story of activation and training in the United
States and tracks the air crews and ground personnel as they acquire
the tools of war and then make their way to England and the front
lines of the air war in the European Theater of Operations (ETO).
The video contains eye witness accounts from both American servicemen
and British family members as they remember the air war over German-held
territory and the stories of sacrifice and courage that played
out every day at Deopham Green and the skies of WWII Europe. This
documentary provides an exciting look into the human side of war
as nearby British families suffered the threat of German air attacks
and wartime sacrifices while ground crews labored to keep the
B-17 flying and the air crews struggled to beat the odds over
Nazi Europe. Deopham Green is the breath-taking story of ordinary
people rising to greatness in the struggle against darkness and
evil. Winston Churchill's words certainly apply to Deopham Green
and her people, both British and American: "This is their
finest hour." Produced by Dr. Vernon L. Williams.
