Americans mobilize for total war at home and overseas. Factories hum around the clock, while North Africa and then Italy, inexperienced GIs learn how to fight. Meanwhile, in the skies over Europe, thousands of American airmen gamble their lives against preposterous odds on daylight bombing missions.
Germany and the Japanese surrender too and millions try to learn to live without war.
By mid March, 1945, they are across the Rhine, while Russians are 50 miles from Berlin.
Victory in Europe seems imminent.
