The Germans and Japanese both try to attack the Allies in the farthest reaches of the
Northern Hemisphere. First, the Germans attempt to destroy the convoys which are headed
to Murmansk. The Germans are desperate to stop the supplies from reaching Russia. As the
convoys enter the North Sea, the Luftwaffe is there to meet them with plenty of bombs. Then
the German Navy hides in the fiordes to come out and surprise the convoys and still more
bombings on the ships that still survive for the final leg into Russia. In the second part
of the video, the Japanese surprise the Americans with the invasion and capture of Attu.
But forces from Dutch Harbor reorganize and an amphibious raid lands on the tiny island
as the Marines eventually eliminate the Japanese invaders.
