Ian BB, many thanks for the heads up.
A brief Google for the program contents brings up a different description for me. See Below :

The aftermath of World War II saw European cities scarred by bombs and people who endured the onslaught struggling to cope in the ruins. Veteran journalist Walter Cronkite examines America’s grand Marshall Plan to reconstruct the infrastructure and help create a new post-War world.
As early as 1941, during the height of the Blitz, plans were drawn up for re-building London as “a new and modern metropolis”, but in the event the reconstruction took far longer than imagined and many of the more progressive ideas were scrapped. The original plans survive, however, offering a fascinating insight into how London might have looked. Cronkite traces the close bond forged between the US and Britain and how it changed, not always for the better, in the Cold War era as America expanded as a trading nation and Britain, weakened by war, struggled to found a new society its ally often felt was dangerously ‘socialist’. There are more personal alliances, too, with GIs returning home with ‘war brides’, and Cronkite recalls his own involvement, sitting within feet of the Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg trials: “I wanted to spit on them”. In a more reflective moment, Cronkite visits memorials to the war dead. Moved by a wall engraved with the names of thousands of missing soldiers, Cronkite muses that there must be a better way to settle our differences than by killing each other.
