Overview

Two items. The first profiles a Yorkshire company where school-leavers follow an apprentice training scheme, which ensures that "every opportunity is given to the youngster with ambition to learn". The second item concentrates on the Allied advance in Europe, including Arnhem, a V2 rocket site, and Ohrdruf concentration camp, where General Eisenhower visits, and German civilians are forced to look at the dead. Emaciated British POWs pose before the camera.
