As we fly above the infamous battle sites of D-Day and Dunkirk, soar over hidden Nazi bunkers, and glide across lost battleships and sunken shipwrecks – this new series exposes secrets of World War II in a brand-new way. Through a unique aerial perspective, we will ‘fly back in time’ to recount daring raids and deadly battles in a way that has never been seen before. Brand new series World War II: Secrets From Above, premieres Monday 19th September at 8pm, only on National Geographic UK. | Natio

On 27 January 2026, we will commemorate the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz. The main commemoration event, which will begin at 4:00 p.m., will take place in the so-called central sauna building on the grounds of the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the ruins of the gas chamber and crematorium IV. | Auschwitz Memorial / Muzeum Auschwitz
