History You Should Know: World War 2 (Part 2--The Turning Point, 1941-42)

You'll hear me say this many times...the way things are now, they won't be forever.  In 1941 hope looked pretty bleak for the free world.  Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo and their armies looked pretty invincible.  But things change.  And fortunately the Nazi, Fascist, and Imperialist armies were stopped cold in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific.  The war was not over by a long shot, but the tide had definitely changed.
