World War II: End Game on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E2 and S1E3 – 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 Two: Climax (Sunday, 14 September, 5.30pm)
As the war drew to a close in 1945, the geopolitical landscape changed dramatically. With Roosevelt’s death and Truman’s ascension to the highest office, a new phase of the Grand Alliance had begun, and the military strategies, key battles, and grim discoveries made as Allied forces closed in on Germany, would all lead to the beginning of a new world order.
Season One, Episode Three: Aftermath And The Atomic Age (Saturday, 20 September, 5.30pm)
The war in Europe was over, but heavy fighting continued in the East, and President Truman was desperate to bring the war to a close in the Pacific theatre. With the US Manhattan Project successfully testing the first nuclear bomb in July 1945, the US no longer needed Soviet help to overpower the Japanese forces who were dominating in the region.
