929 Timewatch
First viewed : Uncertain
I think I probably saw some of BBC 2's long-running history documentary series earlier but the first episode I definitely recall was the one on 17 January 1990 which looked at conspiracy theories surrounding Nazi deputy leader Rudolf Hess. In particular, it featured Hugh Thomas, the surgeon who examined Hess in prison and couldn't find any trace of the wounds Hess suffered in World War One. Thomas's book concluded that the man imprisoned for life in Spandau Prison wasn't Hess at all.
Some of the issues raised remain unresolved.
Hitler's Secret Weapons ( 12.11.1994 )
This episode told the story of the development of the V1 and V2 rockets that terrorised Britain in the closing stages of World War Two and marked the beginning of modern warfare. It used recently uncovered Nazi film of the weapons' construction and deployment.
