By the summer of 1944, the Axis is collapsing on every front, and this History Hit production follows three of the campaigns that broke it. On the Eastern Front, the Red Army launches Operation Bagration, a massive assault that shatters German Army Group Centre and remains one of the costliest offensives of the war. In Normandy, Allied forces push out of the beachhead months after D-Day, finally breaking the stalemate in the French hedgerows. In the Pacific, the US Navy and Japanese fleet collide at Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history. Archival footage, maps, and eyewitness testimony carry the film across all three theaters, tracing how each defeat compounded the others and left Germany and Japan with no path back. The film's strength is in the parallel structure, showing viewers how Bagration, Normandy, and Leyte Gulf unfolded in the same stretch of months as separate but connected hammer blows.
