The Last Days of World War II [2 Discs]

Overview

"As produced for (and originally aired on) cable's History Channel, the trilogy of documentaries in this box set collectively examine the events that made up the ""final act"" of World War II - or roughly, everything from May 7, 1945 (when Germany surrendered to the Allies) though September 9, 1945, the day when American servicemen began returning from Asia to the United States. The deadliest war in modern history then gave way to an entirely new type of conflict - the Cold War. This set includes: The Last Days of World War II - on the Allied push through Europe that prompted the fall of the Third Reich; U.S.S. Eagle 56: Accident or Target - on the mysterious explosion of an American boat in April 1945; and Last Secrets of the Axis , on the pivotal alliance between Japan and Germany and the little-known role that a single geography professor played in these events."
