Join The History Journals for an hourly historical exploration of the war's diverse aspects. In this edition, uncover the impact of Hitler's forces on the people of Great Britain.

Travel back to London in 1940, and while familiar landmarks like Buckingham Palace and St. Paul's Cathedral still stand tall, you'd witness a city and a nation under siege. This year marked a stark realization for the people of Great Britain as they faced the impact of a world at war for the second time in the 20th century.

Winston Churchill's resounding leadership resonated with the nation, and as he called upon the British people to rally to the battle cry, they responded with unwavering determination. It was, without a doubt, the finest hour of a nation.

Explore: - Winston Churchill's timely leadership - British wartime economizing - The coveted Christmas gift during wartime - The Treaty of Versailles as a precursor to WW2
