By late 1944, the Axis powers were broken, yet they refused to surrender, leading to the deadliest year in human history. This documentary explores the final turning points of World War II, from the naval carnage of Leyte Gulf to the frozen battlefields of the Ardennes and the volcanic ash of Iwo Jima. We examine the transition of leadership from FDR to Truman, the harrowing fall of Berlin, and the dawn of the nuclear age. Finally, we look at the legacy of the Nuremberg Trials and the creation of the United Nations.
