Season 2
Episodes
Battle for Black Gold
Modern warfare runs on oil - without it you cannot run the tanks, trucks and planes needed to keep an army going, so control of the oilfields is vital for any War Factory. This story centres around the discovery and exploitation of the Baku Oilfields in the Russian Caucasus, which ultimately forced Stalin and Hitler to face-off in one of the most decisive battles in the history of warfare: Stalingrad.
Fiat and the Fascists
The story of the Agnelli Family - godfathers of the Italian auto industry… and the power behind Mussolini. Find out how Fiat didn't just make cars: they made trains, they made planes, and like modern-day kingmakers, they made and broke governments too.
The Peoples Car
While America had Ford or Chrysler or Buick, Hitler also wanted a car that would transform his nation: the ‘people's car'- a Volkswagen…
Apocalypse Factories
The incredible story of the arms race to create America's nuclear arms factories.

Dambuster Factory
