Citizen Kane
A fascinating story of idealism corrupted by wealth, Citizen Kane is frequently named the greatest film of
all time and is credited with inspiring more directorial careers than any other film in history. William
Randolph Hearst, seeing Kane's career as a thinly disguised version of his own fought to supress the
film and offered to compensate RKO for the destruction of all prints and negatives. The controversy has
faded, but not the film's power and brilliance.

In this series which covers the blunders on the part of the Axis powers that led to the Allie's victory, part
one covers early mistakes by the German forces. "The German Blunder at Dunkirk" tells how Hitler's
reckless plan of attack turned his chance to destroy the British army by driving them into the sea into
history's greatest escape. When Hitler foolishly joined this Axis ally, Japan, after the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor by declaring war on the U.S. he unleashed the awesome industrial might of the U.S. against
him.

Great Blunders of World War II #2: Pilot Who Bombed London/Hitler's Flying
In the summer of 1940, the Luftwaffe devastated the British with its raids on RAF fighter bases. Then, one
pilot, confused and off-course, dropped his bombs on London, igniting what became known as the Blitz.
Hitler's plan inspired the British to acts of heroism never before seen in the annals of warfare. In "Hitler's
Flying Blunders" Hitler's henchman, Hermann Goering built the mighty Luftwaffe around his Fuhrer's
concept of Blitzkrieg - lightning fast shor range fighter bombers used in support of highly mobile ground
forces. Learn how this strategy ultimately went awry, rendering the famed Luftwaffe useless and leading
to its destruction.

Great Blunders of World War II #3: Japan's Mistakes at Midway/ Failure of the
On June 4, 1942, the fanatical and efficient Japanese war machine wanted to finish the job they had
started at Pearl Harbor - the destruction of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, but a lethal combination of blind
arrogance and underestimation of American will power turned their grand plan at Midway into disaster. In
" The Failure of the Kamikaze" you will see that as the Allies pushed relentlessly toward mainland Japan
they faced a new enemy, the Kamikaze. Steeped in the ancient code of the Samurai, Kamikaze forces on
land, sea and air sacrificed themselves in battle with a suicidal ferocity that was beyond belief.

Great Blunders of World War II #4: Death at Stalingrad/Operation Sea Lion
By 1942, Hitler had driven his former allies, the Russians, far into their homeland. Victory appeared
imminent but Hitler wanted to take Stalingrad at all costs. He underestimated both the brutal Russian
winter and the steadfastness or the Russian people in the face of the Nazi threat. In " Operation Sea
Lion" Hitler's only remaining adversary in northern Europe, the British, were all but beaten. Now was the
time to crush England but an invasion was inexplicably postponed. Certain Nazi triumph became a string
of missed opportunities that ultimately led to the Allied victory.

Jazz #1:
#1: Gumbo
Jazz is born in New Orleans during the 1890's, at the height of the Jim Crow era. It is the creation of the
African-American community but incorporates every kind of music heard in the streets of the country's
most cosmopolitan city, from Caribbean dances and italian opera to blues, ragtime, military marches,
and the call and response of the Baptist church. Few people beyond its birthplace have a chance to hear
jazz until 1917, when a group of white musicians, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, make the first
recording. It outsells every other record made up to that time, and jazz becomes a national craze.

trumpeter, Wynton Marsalis, emerges eager to express themselves within the music's great traditions.
