Over 8 million people of colour fought for the Allied forces in the Second World War. Their stories have remained largely untold. Executive produced and narrated by Idris Elba whose own grandfather fought in the war, Erased: WW2's Heroes of Colour uncovers the long-lost legacies of soldiers of colour during WWII. With first-hand accounts from descendants, insights from historians and curated archival footage, this four part series focuses on three extraordinary heroes per episode - from a 16-year-old from New York to an aristocrat from India.
Watch Erased: WW2's Heroes of Colour on Monday May 27th at 8pm, only on National Geographic UK.
