Hell on Earth - S1 E1

2. We Shall Go On

Germany continues to build its empire in Europe, and the Führer seeks to crush Britain with the Luftwaffe; France is conquered and divided, since Churchill rejects any attempt at an armistice.

3. Infamy

An insight into when German forces occupied Europe, and how the United Kingdom found itself isolated. Hitler wanted to invade the USSR and launch a war of annihilation.

4. A Dream of Great Success

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese armies celebrate their victory. Four months later, the Battle of the Coral Sea shakes their confidence; in Europe, the German attack against the Soviet Union causes heavy losses.

5. I Shall Never Look Back

At the beginning of 1942, war wages on the battlefields in Eastern Europe, North Africa, and Asia Pacific.

6. Rattenkrieg

From the Indian border in Burma to China, at war with Japan since 1937, the war becomes increasingly fierce; in Europe, despite his fewer resources, Hitler renews his assault on the Soviet Union.

7. The Shame of Returning Alive

With the power of the Soviet army pushing back the German forces on the lands they occupied, and faced with the devastation of German cities by Allied bombers, Goebbels calls for `total war'.

8. Endless Numbers

A Soviet offensive pushes German forces 30 kilometres from the Polish border; the siege of Leningrad is lifted after 900 days; on June 6, 1944, Operation Overlord is launched for the final offensive against Germany.
