Great footage of the V.E. day celebrations in Newport 1945. The 2nd Btn South Wales Borderers didn't return home until 1948 as they were part of the occupation forces in Germany.

Some grading tests from the documentary so far.

[WWII Pictures @WWIIpix]

This day in 1940, German Luftwaffe attempts to completely destroy RAF Fighter Command, resulting in some of the largest aerial battles at that time.

In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses, although the British shot down twice as many Luftwaffe aircraft as they lost. #WW2
