Roosevelt and Josef Stalin rare wartime perspectives, and the immense suffering of soldiers and civilians, it shows how total war reshaped nations, destroyed millions of lives, and forced humanity into a new and terrifying era. The first three episodes plunge directly into the war’s explosive beginnings. In September 1939, Germany invades Poland after a secret pact between Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin clears the path for aggression, setting Europe on fire once again. As Nazi forces crush the Netherlands and Belgium and drive west, Churchill prepares Britain for an air assault while Roosevelt races to turn American industry into a weapon of survival.
