When Things Get Tough
Premiered On: 09/24/2007
By January 1943, American troops are in North Africa, ready to battle Axis armies before invading southern Europe. Gen. George Patton assumes command, and American soldiers begin to beat back the Germans. In the U.S., workers flock to cities like Mobile and Waterbury, where factories run around the clock for the war effort, and more and more women enter the workforce. American airmen face preposterous odds on daylight bombing missions; Allied troops invade Sicily and southern Italy, where German resistance stiffens; and Allied leaders draw up plans for the invasion of France as Hitler strengthens his coastal defenses. Viewer discretion advised.

A Deadly Calling
Premiered On: 09/25/2007
Seeing American combat casualties in the media for the first time strengthens public resolve to do what is necessary to end the war. Despite American victories, the Japanese empire still stretches 4,000 miles, and the Marines mount a frontal assault on the tiny Pacific atoll of Tarawa. Booming ?wartowns? experience social tensions; African Americans are admitted to the Marine Corps; and Japanese-American men, originally designated as ?enemy aliens,? are permitted to form a special combat unit. Allied forces are stalled for months in the mountains south of Rome, but finally liberate the city. Viewer discretion advised.
