Features: In 1939, Hitler launched a lightning strike on Poland with Blitzkrieg, marking the outbreak of World War II. The war nearly affected every corner of the world. The warring sides, the Axis Powers and the Allies, fought relentlessly at all costs, creating a scene of unimaginable horror. Driven by Hitler's ambition, he launched a massive war, aiming not to dominate the world but to rule over Europe. Despite Hitler's stormy sweep across European countries, he could not escape his destined failure, and peace finally arrived. On August 6 and 8, 1945, with the U.S. dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World War II ended dramatically.
