WWII The Call of Duty

From the moment Adolf Hitler marched his troops into Poland on the 1st of September 1939, the Second World War was inevitable.

As the New Year dawned and the people of Britain faced the introduction of rationing, all eyes turned northwards to Scandinavia.

With mainland Europe under Hitler’s control, the German Fuhrer turned his attention to Operation Sealion, and the Battle of Britain.

The Luftwaffe continued its attempts to bomb Britain into submission, while the German Afrika Korps strengthened its position as Rommel, Hitler’s 'Desert Fox', took charge.
