WWII

World War II was a mid-20th-century conflict that engulfed much of the globe and is generally accepted as the largest and deadliest continuous war in human history. Towards the end of the war in 1945, Allied forces encroached on Nazi Germany from all sides. This iconic image of the Red flag being flown over the Reichstag building marks the fall Berlin to the Red Army on 2 May.
