WW2 Treasure Hunters

The history and true story of the Second World War lies buried at hundreds of sites across the UK. This exclusive HISTORY® commission sees Britain's foremost amateur Second World War detectorist, Stephen Taylor, joining forces with Madness frontman Suggs as they uncover historical finds from across the UK. Employing state-ofthe-art technology and original maps, the pair identify the best places to dig, including former military bases, airfields, POW camps and barracks. As the artefacts are unearthed, the presenters turn detective, revealing the stories and people behind the finds. They meet survivors, experts and historians to understand what happened at each of the locations. Using the new discoveries, photographs, archive material, CGI and first-person testimony, the series will offer a new perspective on the Second World War and the people it affected. (History Channel)
