Movie Description Though it only lasted for six years, World War II proved to be the definitive event of the 20th century. With the genocidal Nazi regime redefining the concept of evil, the development of the atom bomb ushering in the nuclear age, and the U.S. and Soviet Union emerging as the world's dual superpowers, WWII drastically altered the course of the century's first four decades and irrevocably determined the path of its last six. This 10-part documentary series recounts every aspect of the pivotal conflict--from the 1939 declaration of war to the final victories of 1945--through personal interviews with WWII veterans and rare, never-before-seen footage from sources such as the Army Service Forces, the National Archives, and the Library of Congress.
