This week we will continue our investigation of WWII after the success of Operation Overlord. We will discuss the liberation of France, as this was a significant event in the war. After pushing the Nazis out of France, the Allied knew the next step would be to invade Germany. We will examine how the American and British troops faced off against the Nazis from the west, as we will discuss the Battle of the Bulge- Hitler's last gamble offensive against the Allies. Then we will investigate the Soviet invasion from the east and the take-over of Berlin. As the Allies surrounded Germany, Hitler would commit suicide, leaving the Third Reich without a leader. We will discuss the Nazi surrender, as well as what Allied troops would find on their way to Germany- the concentration camps that would reveal the horrors of Hitler's "Final Solution."
