Hell on Earth: WWII

Mussolini joins Hitler in his fight against the Allies, while Winston Churchill is appointed British Prime Minister on the day of the Blitzkrieg, the German invasion of France.

Germany continues to build its empire in Europe, occupying Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands and Belgium. France is conquered and divided as Churchill rejects any attempt at an armistice.

The United Kingdom is isolated as German forces occupy Europe. 17,000 Trains carry German armies towards the Soviet Union. With Operation Barbarossa Hitler launches Vernichtungskrieg, a war of annihilation.

After Pearl Harbour and their triumphant sweep across South-East Asia, Japanese armies celebrate their victory. But Japanese confidence is shaken four months later at the Battle of the Coral Sea.

The war enters its third year with battlefields in Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Asia/Pacific. The Battle of Midway, a battle with irreversible consequences, is a victory for the USA.

From the Indian border in Burma to China, which has been at war with Japan since 1937, the war grows more savage. In Europe, despite having less resources than when he first made the attempt, Hitler renews his assault on the Soviet Union.
