Enviado por ConradZiegfried em 06/08/2011

A bomba atômica lançada em Hiroshima em 6 de agosto de 1945 mudou o mundo. Os profundos segredos da natureza haviam sido revelados. 

O poder das estrelas fora desatado e convertido em uma tecnologia mortal. A imagem da fúria de Little Boy foi vista tantas vezes que muitos se tornaram insensíveis à sua potência e poder de devastação. 

Este programa tem por objetivo mudar esta situação apresentando a história da primeira bomba atômica sob pontos de vista pessoais muito diferentes, o testemunho minuto a minuto daqueles cuja vida foi mais devastada pela bomba, os sobreviventes e o relatório da equipe científica e militar enviada a Hiroshima para analisar a potência desta nova arma que caiu sobre uma cidade e seus moradores.

Terceiro Reich - A Queda (2010)

Na segunda metade do século XX, o Terceiro Reich, também conhecido como "a grande geração", se desvaneceu na história. A imagem de 40.000 nazistas uniformizados, marchando com passos perfeitamente sincronizados, faz parte das lembranças de um governo totalitário bem sucedido. Através destes dois especiais, History se aprofundará e irá além da compreensão coletiva do Terceiro Reich para descobrir o que ainda não sabemos sobre as pessoas que integravam um dos regimes mais fascinantes e complexos da história recente. Terceiro Reich: Ascensão e Queda revelará histórias desconhecidas e fascinantes sobre as pessoas que fizeram parte do então Partido Nazista FONTE : THE HISTORY

Alemanha nazista também chamada de Terceiro Reich (oficialmente desde 1943, Grande Reich Alemão), é o nome que se dá ao período do governo que se estabeleceu na Alemanha entre 1933 e 1945, enquanto era liderada por Adolf Hitler e o Partido Nacional Socialista Alemão dos Trabalhadores (NSDAP). O nome Terceiro Reich (em alemão: Drittes Reich) refere-se ao Estado sucessor do Império Alemão (1871-1918), sendo este o Segundo Reich e o Sacro Império Romano Germânico o Primeiro Reich. Na Alemanha, o Estado era conhecido como Deutsches Reich (Reich Alemão) até 1943, quando seu nome oficial tornou-se Großdeutsches Reich (Grande Reich Alemão).

Em 30 de janeiro de 1933, Adolf Hitler foi nomeado Chanceler da Alemanha. Embora ele inicialmente tenha liderado o governo de coalizão, rapidamente eliminou seus parceiros governamentais. Dentro dos seis anos que se seguiram de 1933 a 1939, a Alemanha sob o governo do Partido Nazista mudou-se de um país totalmente corrupto e pobre para uma superpotência mundial.

The Battle of Moscow is the name given by Soviet historians to two periods of strategically significant fighting on a 600 km (370 mi) sector of the Eastern Front during World War II. It took place between October 1941 and January 1942. The Soviet defensive effort frustrated Hitler's attack on Moscow, capital of the USSR and the largest Soviet city. Moscow was one of the primary military and political objectives for Axis forces in their invasion of the Soviet Union.

The Siege of Leningrad was a prolonged military operation resulting from the failure of the German Army Group North to capture Leningrad in the Eastern Front theatre of World War II. The siege started on 8 September 1941, when the last land connection to the city was severed. Although the Soviets managed to open a narrow land corridor to the city on 18 January 1943, lifting of the siege took place on 27 January 1944, 872 days after it began. It was one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history and overwhelmingly the most costly in terms of casualties.

The Battle of Stalingrad was a major battle of World War II in which Nazi Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad in southwestern Russia. The battle took place between 23 August 1942 and 2 February 1943. 

It was the largest battle on the Eastern Front and was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties. It is among the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare, with the higher estimates of combined casualties amounting to nearly two million. The heavy losses inflicted on the German army made it a turning point in the war.

After the Battle of Stalingrad, German forces never recovered their earlier strength, and attained no further strategic victories in the East.

The Battle of Berlin, designated the Berlin Strategic Offensive Operation by the Soviet Union, was the final major offensive of the European Theatre of World War II.

Starting on 16 April 1945, the Red Army breached the German front as a result of the Vistula--Oder Offensive and advanced westward as much as 40 kilometres a day through East Prussia, Lower Silesia, East Pomerania, and Upper Silesia, temporarily halting on a line 60 kilometres east of Berlin along the Oder River. When the offensive resumed, two Soviet army groups attacked Berlin from the east and south, while a third overran German forces positioned north of Berlin. The Battle in Berlin lasted from 20 April 1945 until the morning of 2 May.

Before the battle was over, German Führer Adolf Hitler and a number of his followers committed suicide. The city's defenders finally surrendered on 2 May. However, fighting continued to the north-west, west and south-west of the city until the end of the war in Europe on 8 May as German units fought westward so that they could surrender to the Western Allies rather than to the Soviets.

★ World War 2 Battles ★ Battle of Kursk - Soviet Storm - Part 5

The Battle of Kursk took place when German and Soviet forces confronted each other on the Eastern Front during World War II in the vicinity of the city of Kursk, in the Soviet Union in July and August 1943. It remains both the largest series of armored clashes, including the Battle of Prokhorovka, and the costliest single day of aerial warfare in history. 

It was the final strategic offensive the Germans were able to mount in the east. The resulting decisive Soviet victory gave the Red Army the strategic initiative for the rest of the war.
