The End of World War II in Europe and Asia
Dr. Luke Truxal, Adjunct Instructor of History and Greg Mewbourn, Associate Professor of History, present an examination of the closing months of World War II. Dr. Truxal will discuss the end of the war in Europe, including the death of Adolf Hitler, and ultimate defeat of the Nazi regime. Mr. Mewbourn will focus on the end of the conflict in the Pacific, including the decision to use atomic weapons against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
