This series has been fully up-rezzed to HD, re-voiced, new editing to sort errors discovered and re-balanced to have fewer recaps for binge watchers rather than 24 weeks of serial TV.
The Russians entered Berlin first, and as Hitler took his own life in his bunker, the war in Europe finally came to an end.
Churchill led the people of Britain in the VE Day celebrations, but the fighting continued in the Pacific.
Sadly, President Roosevelt died in April, just weeks before VE Day, and the task of finishing the war was passed to the new American President, Harry S. Truman.
