By the summer of 1944, it was clear to all but the most passionate Nazis that Germany was doomed to lose WWII, with Fascist Italy destined to go down in flames alongside the Third Third. Yet it would take another year of savage fighting before the Axis powers of Europe were finally crushed by the Allies. Even then, peace did not reign across all of the continent, and with the shadow of the Cold War descending over a divided Europe, the threat of another monstrous war began to form. In the latest title from the team behind History of War magazine, you'll chart the final year of the war in Europe before exploring how its nations were slowly rebuilt and why many in the east still faced a brutal struggle against foreign oppression.
