The 80th Anniversary of the end of WW2 is in our sights. Do Allied leadership, like Winston Churchill, think the end of the war - or the British Empire - was inevitable in 1945? Why did Axis forces keep fighting when surrender seemed the obvious choice in order to stop the suffering?

...And whatever happened to the wonder weapons?

James Holland and Al Murray as they set the scene for the armageddon that is the last year of the Second World War.
