Features: In 1939, Hitler launched a lightning strike on Poland with Blitzkrieg, marking the outbreak of World War II. The entire war nearly affected every corner of the world. The warring sides, the "Axis Powers" and the "Allied Powers," fought relentlessly at all costs, and the scene was horrifyingly tragic. With Hitler's ambition, he launched a war that, even if it couldn't dominate the world, sought to dominate Europe. Although Hitler swept across European countries like a storm, he could not escape his destined failure, and peace finally arrived. On August 6 and 8, 1945, with the explosion of the U.S. atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World War II ended dramatically.
