In the west, the Americans manage to reach the Roer River in force, but haven't taken any of its dams; in Italy, the Allies liberate Ravenna; the Soviet advance in Hungary continues, and the Soviets even set up a new Hungarian government; martial law is declared in Greece; the Japanese make a corridor to Indochina; the fighting on Leyte continues, and the kamikaze menace becomes ever more worrisome. 00:00 INTRO 01:10 British intelligences failure 01:55 Allies reach the Roer River 05:35 Problems with Devers’ 6th Army Group 07:41 Allies liberate Ravenna 08:50 Soviet advances in Hungary 12:10 Soviets set up a new Hungarian government 13:47 A deadly demonstration and martial law in Greece 18:33 Japanese establish a corridor to Indochina 19:59 Leyte and kamikaze attacks 23:45 CONCLUSION Join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TimeGhostHistory Or join the TimeGhost Army directly at: https://timeghost.tv/signup/ Check out our TimeGhost History YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/timeghost Between 2 Wars: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrG5J-K5AYAU1R-HeWSfY2D1jy_sEssNG Follow WW2 Day by Day on Instagram: @ww2_day_by_day Follow TimeGhost History on Instagram: @timeghosthistory Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeGhostHistory/ Hosted by: Indy Neidell Director: Astrid Deinhard Producers: Astrid Deinhard and Spartacus Olsson Executive Producers: Astrid Deinhard, Indy Neidell, Spartacus Olsson Creative Producer: Marek Kamiński Community Management: Ian Sowden Written by: Indy Neidell Research by: Indy Neidell Map animations by: Daniel Weiss Map research by: Sietse Kenter Edited by: Iryna Dulka Artwork and color grading by: Mikołaj Uchman Sound design by: Marek Kamiński Colorizations by: Mikołaj Uchman Daniel Weiss Adrien Fillon - https://www.instagram.com/adrien.colorisation Source literature list: http://bit.ly/WW2sources Archive footage: Screenocean/Reuters - https://www.screenocean.com Image sources: IWM FRE 11098 FORTEPAN / Pálfi András Dmitri Kessel National Portrait Gallery Soundtracks from Epidemic Sound: Easy Target - Rannar Sillard Darkness Closing In - Max Anson Run and Hide - Philip Ayers Secret Cargo - Craft Case At the Front - Phoenix Tail It's Not a Game - Philip Ayers Dark Beginning - Johan Hynynen Leave It All Here - Fabien Tell Duels - Farrell Wooten Wicked Games - Philip Ayers Dragon King - Jo Wandrini Rivers Run Red - Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen Rush of Blood - Reynard Seidel The Twelve Spies - Silver Maple A TimeGhost chronological documentary produced by OnLion Entertainment GmbH. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOx8zvacBTA

Paris is liberated by the Allies, a symbolic act that causes the world to rejoice. Something far more important to the course of the war, though, happens this week in Romania. The Allies continue to advance in the south of France and begin a new offensive in Italy, though the Pacific War has quietened down once again. 00:00 Intro 00:30 Recap 01:00 Warsaw Uprising Continues 02:06 The Eastern Front 03:48 Soviet invasion of Romania 05:59 Romania declares war on Germany 09:48 Liberation of Paris 15:09 Operation Dragoon continues 17:42 Operation Olive begins 20:39:21 The Dunbarton Oaks Conference 23:10:18 Conclusion Join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TimeGhostHistory Or join the TimeGhost Army directly at: https://timeghost.tv/signup/ Check out our TimeGhost History YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/timeghost Between 2 Wars: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrG5J-K5AYAU1R-HeWSfY2D1jy_sEssNG Follow WW2 Day by Day on Instagram: @ww2_day_by_day Follow TimeGhost History on Instagram: @timeghosthistory Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeGhostHistory/ Hosted by: Indy Neidell Director: Astrid Deinhard Producers: Astrid Deinhard and Spartacus Olsson Executive Producers: Astrid Deinhard, Indy Neidell, Spartacus Olsson Creative Producer: Marek Kamiński Community Management: Ian Sowden Written by: Indy Neidell Research by: Indy Neidell Map animations by: Daniel Weiss Map research by: Sietse Kenter Edited by: Iryna Dulka Artwork and color grading by: Mikołaj Uchman Sound design by: Marek Kamiński Colorizations by: Mikołaj Uchman Daniel Weiss Dememorabilia - https://www.instagram.com/dememorabilia/ Source literature list: http://bit.ly/WW2sources Archive footage: Screenocean/Reuters - https://www.screenocean.com Soundtracks from Epidemic Sound: Easy Target - Rannar Sillard Heroes On Horses - Gunnar Johnsén Leave It All Here - Fabien Tell Dark Beginning - Johan Hynynen Let Go of Fear - Howard Harper-Barnes Secret Cargo - Craft Case The Story Begins STEMS INSTRUMENTS - Hampus Naeselius The Mole - Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen Rivers Run Red - Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen It's Not a Game - Philip Ayers Break Free - Fabien Tell Progressive Progress - Howard Harper-Barnes The Twelve Spies - Silver Maple A TimeGhost chronological documentary produced by OnLion Entertainment GmbH. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHMfgOJiaQI

Five years of war and no real end in sight, though the Allies sure seem to have the upper hand at the moment. Romania is coming under the Soviet thumb and Red Army troops are at Bulgaria's borders, the Allies enter Belgium and also take ports in the south of France. A Slovak National Uprising begins against the Germans, and the Warsaw Uprising against them continues, but in China it is plans for defense being made against the advancing Japanese.

Erich von Manstein's Axis counterattack on the Eastern Front begins this week and right away smashes through the Red Army lines, threatening all the recent Soviet gains. The Allies- the Americans- also suffer a big defeat in Tunisia at the Kasserine Pass, though in the Pacific it is the Americans who occupy the Russell Islands.
