The Battle of the Atlantic, the longest campaign of World War II, spanned from 1939 to 1945, primarily in the North Atlantic but extending to Arctic convoys and the Mediterranean. This conclusion episode recaps Allied resilience against German U-boats and surface raiders. Britain implemented early rationing and the "Dig for Victory" campaign, increasing food production and reducing import reliance. Key turning points included capturing the Enigma machine from U-110 in 1941, sinking U-boat aces, and U.S. adoption of convoys post-1941. Despite setbacks like Operation Torch diverting escorts in late 1942, commanders like Admiral Max Horton and sub-hunters Donald McIntyre and Frederick "Johnny" Walker turned the tide with aggressive tactics. Technological advances sealed Germany's fate: Allied Hedgehog mortars (far more effective than depth charges), radar, and air cover from B-24 Liberators closed the mid-Atlantic gap by May 1943, forcing U-boat retreats. German innovations like snorkels, Type XXI U-boats, and acoustic torpedoes (e.g., T5 Zaunkönig) arrived too late, yielding high losses (e.g., 39 U-boats for minimal gains in late 1943). In the Arctic, the Scharnhorst's defeat at North Cape secured Soviet supply lines. The episode details D-Day's naval arm (Operation Neptune): Over 6,000 vessels from eight navies, led by Admiral Bertram Ramsay, bombarded Normandy beaches with battleships like HMS Warspite and USS Texas. Despite mines and minor German torpedo boat attacks, it succeeded, ferrying 132,000 troops on June 6, 1944, with Mulberry harbors enabling logistics. The "Hunt for Tirpitz," the Bismarck's sister ship, highlights Allied obsession: Multiple failed raids (e.g., Operation Tungsten) culminated in Operation Catechism (November 1944), where RAF Lancasters dropped 12,000-pound Tallboy "earthquake" bombs, capsizing the "Lonely Queen of the North" and killing up to 1,200 crew. Losses were staggering: Allies lost 3,500 merchant ships (21.6 million tons), 175 warships, and ~7,200 sailors; Germany lost 783 U-boats, 47 warships, and 30,000 men. Submarines sank two-thirds of Allied tonnage, but superior Allied strategy, resources, and innovation prevailed, ensuring victory in this critical supply war.

Actor Brian Cox chooses his one-time mentor and fellow Scot, Lindsay Anderson. "His effect is still on me to this day, and I can't throw him off. He taught me how to think. He triggered something off in me that nobody else had previously done." A critic, an outsider, a provocateur, Anderson founded the Free Cinema movement in the 1950s with fellow documentary makers Tony Richardson, Karel Reisz and Lorenza Mazzetti. His films include This Sporting Life and If… which won the Palm d'or in 1969 and helped launch the career of Malcolm MacDowell. Lindsay Anderson's international reputation surpassed his fame in Britain, where his uncompromisingly anti-establishment stance failed to win him mainstream admirers, but he made several more provocative films and is remembered fondly by his friends and collaborators as an extremely funny, loyal and principled man. Brian Cox, star of Rushmore, The Bourne Identity and Succession, is joined by Karl Magee from the Lindsay Anderson Archive at the University of Stirling. Presented by Matthew Parris and produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Ellie Richold. Future programmes in this series include journalist Donald McIntyre on the editor of Picture Post, Tom Hopkinson; Janet Ellis on the founder of the Puffin Club, Kaye Webb; and Terry Christian on Mr Manchester, Tony Wilson, along with author Paul Morley who wrote From Manchester With Love.
