Like a biblical epic, WWII saw the very existence of humanity brought down to the wire in a tale of good vs evil. Retrace the honour, blood and sacrifice of one of the most decisive and crucial events of modern history and the heroic tale of how peace was preserved in the fight against the ultimate evil of Hitler's Nazis. The First World War was a catastrophe for Germany. Huge casualties affected morale, shortages and starvation plagued the home front, and on November 9th 1918, after a series of mutinies by German sailors and soldiers, the Kaiser had abdicated and fled the country. The following day, a provisional government was announced, made up of members of the Social Democratic Party and the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany, shifting power from the military. With peace declared and the Kaiser gone, Germany needed to establish a new constitution that would move the country forward after accepting responsibility for World War One.

Held for the purpose of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice, the Nuremberg trials were a series of 13 trials carried out in Nuremberg, Germany, between 1945 and 1949. The defendants, who included Nazi Party officials and high-ranking military officers along with German industrialists, lawyers and doctors, were indicted on such charges as crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. Shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power as chancellor of Germany in 1933, he and his Nazi government began implementing policies designed to persecute German-Jewish people and other perceived enemies of the Nazi state.
