"Hitler turns east: Operation Barbarossa-- The largest land invasion ever mounted-- sent 3 million German troops and 3,300 tanks into the Soviet Union. The long road back: Defeated at Stalingrad and denied entry to Moscow, the Wehrmacht embarked on a two-year delaying action as it retreated to Germany. Normandy to the Rhine: Follow the preparations for D-Day and the course of the war in Europe after the successful invasion. The end in Europe: As Germany was squeezed in the vice of the Allied advance, the Big Three met at Yalta to plan for the aftermath of war."--Container.
