An amazing show. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vyrzh/The_First_World_War_from_Above/

The story from 52 minutes is as moving a piece of television as I've seen.
There are some odd misunderstandings though. We see people holding markets in the shattered remains of towns, and the voiceover seems to suggest that the vendors come from the towns themselves, when they would of course come from surrounding villages, the towns would have been created by the presence of such markets. The villagers are simply doing what they have always done.
