Apocalypse brings a 21st-century perspective to the Second World War, the deadliest and most destructive conflict of all time. Using archival footage -- most of it previously unseen and now colorized -- the series takes a very human look at the enormity of the conflict through the eyes of the people who lived through it: the front-line soldiers, the victims, and the political and military leaders. Using mostly unfamiliar footage -- including home movies shot by soldiers and civilians -- this series brings you the ultimate re-telling of an era of courage and fear, offering a comprehensive new examination of history's most devastating war.
Episode six, Inferno (1944–1945), covers the liberation of France, invasion of Germany, surrender of Germany, atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and surrender of Japan.
