August 7, 1942: 10,000 U.S. Marines attacked Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.

Following the Allies' success at El Alamein, the war in the desert became one of pursuit of the Afrika Korps and Italian forces and the first Anglo-American land operation of the war. It was the nadir of the German North African campaign, particularly for its unfortunate commander, General Hans Jurgen von Arnim. His opponent in this Allied final push to evict the Axis forces from North Africa was British General Harold Alexander, who coordinated the tough campaign.

May 1944: General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell and Lt. General Honda face off.

In October 1944, U.S. troops invaded Leyte Gulf in the Philippines. It was the opening move to recapture the Philippines, occupied by the Japanese after their Pacific victories in 1941 and '42.

Between October 1944 and August '45, General Douglas MacArthur and his men recaptured the Philippines from the Japanese, led by General Tomoyuki Yamashita.

Shortly before dawn on December 16, 1944, U.S. troops controlling the Ardennes sector of France were pulverized by massive German artillery bombardment. At 5:30 a.m., a German force of 275,000 men and over 2,000 Panzers rolled forward. The German counter-offensive, the Battle of the Bulge, had begun. It was Hitler's last great gamble in the West, which would bring two commanders into direct confrontation: U.S. General Omar Bradley and Hitler's Field Marshal Walter Model.

Harris, of RAF Bomber Command, began an attack on the German industrial heartland.

Uses aerial reconnaissance photographs actually taken during the course of the battle. Most of these aerial images have not been seen for 60 years. They are combined with cutting edge computer graphics to create 3D models of Hitler's embattled capital city. For the first time it is possible to follow step-by-step the savage battle which brought the war in Europe to an end.
