Episode Info []
- Barbarossa - June-December 1941
Devastating German victories mark the early stages of the Russian campaign, as the Panzers sweep all before them with appalling speed. But, for some reason, the advance is halted. The decision proves fatal. The German army is condemned to a sub-zero Russian winter, for which they have not come prepared. The arrival of highly trained soldiers from Siberia seals the fate of the German force, with thousands killed, wounded or captured.
- Banzai! - Japan Strikes 1941-1942
December 1941, Japan, seeking unrestricted access to raw materials needed for expansion, tires of negotiations and strikes at Pearl Harbor, inflicting a severe blow to American naval power. In a few months, Japan demonstrates how ill-prepared the Allies are, sweeping forward to capture Hong Kong, Burma, Malaya, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines.
