TAKE THE HOTSEAT

Assume the role of real Generals, Leaders, Soldiers and Intelligence Officers in the Allied Forces during WWII, including Winston Churchill and President Eisenhower.

EXAMINE THE INTELLIGENCE

Explore eight key moments of the war with real contemporaneous intelligence: Britain's Darkest Hour, 1940; The War in North Africa; Stalin's War on the Eastern Front; The Pacific Battle of Midway; The Dresden Bomber Offensive; Casablanca; Arnhem and Operation Market Garden; The Bomb and Hiroshima.

CONSIDER THE SCENARIO & MAKE YOUR DECISION

Will you follow the path of the past - or shape a new history?
