Defining Moments of WWII in Colour: The Final Stand

Arguably the most pivotal event in modern history, World War II saw mankind forced to evolve and accelerate for the sake of their own survival. The dramatic battle between Hitler and the Allies played out across every continent. This exciting series looks back across some of the most defining moments of WWII brought to a whole new life now in colour. The Russians moved steadily from the east whilst the western allies crossed the Rhineland, and by April, the Soviet troops, three million strong, dealt brutal blows to the last traces of the German resistance. With the Russians at the gates to Berlin, Adolf Hitler had nowhere to run, and on April 30th, he committed suicide in his bunker, as the city at the heart of his thousand-year Reich burnt to the ground and crumbled in ruins around him. Effectively, the war in Europe was over, and after the official surrender on May 7th 1945, the allies celebrated in style. Hitler’s war was finally over.
