By 1943, the tide of World War 2 had turned. This premium documentary explores how the Axis powers were forced onto the defensive across every major theater in 1944. Featuring remarkable eyewitness accounts, we trace the relentless bombing of Berlin, the desperate jungle siege of Kohima in Burma, the historic naval clash in the Philippine Sea, and the bloody Italian campaign at Monte Casino. Finally, discover the staggering scale, secret deception tactics, and immense human cost behind the D-Day landings in Normandy that ultimately broke Hitler's Atlantic Wall.
