In the final phase of the war, the dictatorship ruthlessly throws younger and younger generations onto the front line in order to pursue its insane dream of final victory. The conflict has long since been lost: the Red Army has been on German soil in the east for several months, while in the west the Americans crossed the Rhine at the beginning of March. The episode takes a look at the various theaters of war in the spring of 1945 and shows the increasingly hopeless situation in which the Wehrmacht finds itself. The dramatic situation in which the civilian population throughout Europe found itself at this time is also highlighted.
