S01E09 — April 15-April 21: Assault on Berlin

The Red Army launches its assault on the German capital and Ernie Pyle is fatally wounded at Okinawa. As the Red Army's assault on Berlin begins, Hitler passes his 56th birthday in a bunker deep below the city. The Seventh Army captures Nuremburg while the Soviet government starts laying the groundwork for the Cold War in a treaty with Poland. Halfway around the world, the brutal battle for Okinawa rages, and among the victims is Ernie Pyle, one of the War's most distinguished and revered correspondents.
