In this episode:
By 1942, the global conflict had escalated into a full-scale world war. In the early summer of that year, the German Wehrmacht launched 'Case Blue,' a major offensive in the Soviet Union aimed at securing control over the oil fields of the Caucasus. However, the advance would soon come to a disastrous halt at Stalingrad. Meanwhile, in the Pacific, American forces were locked in fierce battles against the Japanese Empire, facing brutal, island-by-island combat. The Battle of Guadalcanal marked only the first of many costly confrontations the U.S. would endure in the region. Alongside their British allies, they also prepared for 'Operation Torch,' a plan to land in North Africa and open the path toward liberating Europe
The series:
In the early hours of September 1st, 1939 Troops of Nazi Germany launched an attack on Poland. Their invasion was the outbreak of World War II which lasted for nearly six years and claimed the lives of at least sixty million people.

In September 1945 the Third Reich’s ally Japan also laid down its arms setting an end to combat actions. This documentary series offers a precise look at the different theaters of war around the globe. It also provides the viewer with an insight into Hitler´s dictatorship and the Holocaust.
