  Today we rule Germany, tomorrow, the world!
  
  
  —Adolf Hitler
  
  
  And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging
  son-of-a-bitch Hitler.  
  Just like I’d shoot a snake!

  World War II has raged in Europe for five long years, but the tide has turned
  decisively in favor of the Allies. France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland,
  Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Luxembourg, Yugoslavia, Greece, the western part of
  the Soviet Union, and North Africa have all been occupied at one time, but now
  the edges of the Nazi Reich are being rolled up.
  
  
  In Italy, Hitler’s clownish fascist henchman, Benito Mussolini, has been
  overthrown.
