THE YEAR 1941 Hitler invades Yugoslavia and Greece without prior declaration of war. Like Napoleon, he subsequently attempts to defeat England in Russia and thus invades his former allies without a declaration of war. Despite considerable territorial gains, Hitler is not successful in taking Leningrad, Moscow or Murmansk. The German army takes a painful beating at Moscow. Hitler uses this opportunity to make himself commander-in-chief of the army. THE YEAR 1942 Despite initial successes, Hitler is unable to take the Suez Canal and the oil fields in the Caucasus. The attempt to conquer Stalingard results in the German 6th Army being surrounded. The German Africa corps is forced to retreat at El Alamein. The efforts to exterminate the Jews reach a peak. THE YEAR 1943 Collapse of Germany"s battle in Stalingrad and Northern Africa. Italy is forced to plead for a cease-fire after Allied forces reach the mainland. Hitler occupies Northern Central Italy. THE YEAR 1944 The invasion of the Allies in France is tantamount to the end of Hitler"s rule in Western Europe. Russia smashes the German army division Mitte. An assassination attempt at Hitler"s headquarters makes the internal military opposition to Hitler apparent. Romania, Bulgaria and Finland capitulate. Hitler"s Christmas offensive in the Ardennes region falls apart after modest initial successes. THE YEAR 1945 Germany is overrun by the Allied and Russian armies. Hitler is forced to take his own life in the bunker of the Reich chancellory.
