1943 marks the year the tide turns, and this episode of the America The War Years series tracks the fighting across three fronts at once. Archival footage and narration follow the liberation of Tunisia, where Allied forces finally clear North Africa of Axis troops, then the invasions of Sicily and Italy that open a new front in southern Europe. Planners in Washington and London are already mapping the coming bombing campaign against Germany itself. The film sets these Western victories against the defense of Stalingrad, arguing that between the two fronts the myth of Hitler's invincible army starts to crack for good. It also crosses the Pacific, where American forces push back against Japan in the Aleutians and grind through the jungle campaigns on New Guinea and Guadalcanal. Archival combat footage, maps, and period photographs carry the narration through a year when the war's momentum visibly shifts, laying out both the battlefield mechanics and the psychological turning point for Axis morale.
