 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * The 1940's. The world is experiencing full out war. Millions of men, women, and children are killed, not matter if they are soldiers, civilians, guilty, or innocent. Brutal warfare including some of the most ferocious battles the world has ever seen like Stalingrad, D-Day, and Arnhem take place. Ruthless tactics like the decision to use Unconditional Surrender formed at the Casablanca Conference, bombing of civilian targets, leveling of entire cities, and the ultimate decision to use nuclear bombs on Japan are common among conversation. These are the main concepts of World War II. Not only does this unit cover World War II, but it also covers the aftermath during the post-war era in America and the beginning of a long Cold War between communist Russia, behind the "Iron Curtain", and the democratic nations of the West.
