Launch of WW2 video series
Thu, 04 Feb 2016
Culture Vannin is delighted to announce the release of a series of ten videos on different aspects of the Second World War. Produced by Archives and Project Manager for Culture Vannin, Charles Guard, the videos have been produced to support the History Curriculum in Secondary Schools; however, they are likely to be of interest to anyone who would like to find out more about this key period of Island history.
The videos which are available to view at: https://vimeo.com/album/3723244 cover the following aspects of Island life during the war:
Part 1: The Outbreak of War
Part 2: Defending the Island
Part 3: Conscription
Part 4: The Steam Packet Boats
Part 5: Rationing
Part 6: Keeping the Island safe
Part 7: Bride Radar Station
Part 8: Air Crashes of the Second World War
Part 9: Bombs in the Island
Part 10: Peace
Phil Gawne, MHK, Chairman of Culture Vannin, commented that ‘these videos will be a fantastic resource for Secondary School teachers and should make the teaching of this period of our Manx history much more exciting and relevant. The videos reveal a wealth of characters and stories of the Island from the war and much of it is sure to be of interest to the general public as well as students. These videos complement the Manx History Website http://manxhistory.com/ which Culture Vannin has developed and which reflect our vision of broadening the appeal of Manx culture and identity.’
