First Bombs on Berlin: The Tide Turns in WWII I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY

In August 1940, British air forces dropped the first bombs on Berlin in retaliation for the previous German air raids on England. When the Germans saw the bomb craters in the capital of the Third Reich, their own vulnerability was made clear to them for the first time since the beginning of the war: despite various blitzkrieg victories, the Luftwaffe was unable to keep the enemy units away. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill wants to prevent Hitler's rule over Europe at all costs, otherwise "the world will sink into the abyss of a new dark age," says Churchill. The United Kingdom is also under attack on the other side of the globe: in Southeast Asia the militaristic empire of Japan is preparing to overrun the colonies of the West. This calls another great power on the map: the United States of America sees its interests in the Pacific endangered. But at first the USA only participated indirectly in the battles on the battlefields of the war.
