It was the Greatest Generation’s greatest moment: when heroes at home and abroad, united in common purpose as soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines—under the leadership of generals like Patton, Eisenhower, Marshall, and Bradley—rescued Europe from the tyranny and genocide of Adolf Hitler.

In War Stories III: The Heroes Who Defeated Hitler, Marine combat veteran Lt. Col. Oliver North gives you a chance to revisit the front lines. Using dramatic first-person testimony, North reveals:

  • The reality of combat: how it felt to live through the Battle of Britain as a citizen and a pilot, on the ground and in the air
  • The stories of Yanks in the RAF: how Americans fought Hitler before Pearl Harbor
  • America’s first taste of battle in North Africa against the Germans—and the French
  • A date with destiny: men and women who joined up together to fight for liberty
  • The saga of war on the home front: how women faced enormous challenges in America, Russia, and Britain and helped win the war

Featuring extended interviews with veterans that cover the war in Europe from beginning to end, War Stories III: The Heroes Who Defeated Hitler is a testament to the courage and sacrifice of the World War II generation—a remembrance of the bravery and honor of these heroes.

It belongs in the hands of every veteran, every student, and every American.

Russian troops continued their offensive and by 13 April, 2.5 million Red Army soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Belorussian Front and the 1st Ukrainian Front effectively encircled the capital in a ring of massed artillery and mortar fire. Two days later, American and British soldiers overran the Ruhr Valley, capturing 320,000 German troops. The Third Reich was in its death throes. Hitler marked his fifty-sixth birthday on 19 April 1945 by decorating several Hitler Youth defenders of Berlin for their

became almost a ritual: first the wailing of air raid sirens, then the roar of the approaching bombers, followed by the snarl of fighters snaking through the bomber formations, guns blazing. Next came the blasting of anti-aircraft cannons from batteries set up in parks and on rooftops around the city. Finally—if the RAF pilots and anti-aircraft gunners couldn’t turn the raiders away—came the crash of bombs. For Chrissy Quinn, a London factory worker, it was a terrifying experience. CHRISTINA

Within an hour they effectively overran the units on either side of my company—killing a lot of my men. So, I got on the radio and called for artillery fire on top of our position because

Though black Americans had been a part of the U.S. military in every war since the Revolution, with few exceptions they were assigned to segregated, all-black units—usually with white officers.
