From Vera Lynn and Gracie Fields to the Andrews Sisters and Glenn Miller, the songs and music of the 1940s are as well-loved today as ever. To coincide with the lead up to the celebration of VE Day, we look back in words and music at the momentous turning point of World War Two, and Britain's finest hour, from the miracle of Dunkirk to the decisive victory of the Battle of Britain.
Hear the songs that won the war - "We'll Meet Again", "The White Cliffs of Dover" and "A Nightingale Sang On Berkeley Square" - as well as some of the classic music it inspired, including the Dam Busters March and the music from Ron Goodwin's classic scores to Battle of Britain and 633 Squadron.
