World War II: End Game on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – World War Two was a conflict of immeasurable scale, a Total War, laying waste to entire nations, changing the world forever.
From this devastation, new powers would emerge. Allies would become enemies, an Iron Curtain would fall across Europe, and a Cold War would begin. Who were the great players that shaped the modern world, and how did the Cold War emerge from the Endgame of World War Two?
World War II: Endgame is a four-part series combining military history and big picture geopolitics. It’s the story of the “Grand Alliance” of World War Two, the unlikely team of Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the US that came together to defeat Hitler’s Nazi regime, before fracturing and turning on itself.
With expert interviews, archival footage brought to life by cutting edge colourisation, this series explores the origins of a conflict that took the world to the edge of Armageddon.
Season One, Episode One: Destruction
The early years of World War Two caused chaos and devastation throughout Europe. The 1939 non-aggression pact between the Germans and Russians had promised safety for the Soviet Union, but Hitler was not to be trusted.
With the invasion of Soviet territories in 1941, a new and unexpected “Grand Alliance” was formed between the United Kingdom, United States, and the Soviet Union.
