" 1944 : Roosevelt et Churchill mettent en place le débarquement des troupes anglo-américaines sur les côtes normandes prévu le…
6 juin 1944. de Gaulle, maintenu à lécart, rêve de fouler le sol français libéré par son peuple et de rendre à la France sa souveraineté. Prises en étau par les forces alliées, les puissances de lAxe capitulent les unes après les autres. En France, la violence monte, barbare, sanglante. La Résistance sunit et sorganise, les maquisards des Glières et du Vercors se sacrifient, alors que miliciens, collaborateurs et soldats allemands, en représailles, massacrent des innocents. Hitler, qui échappe à un attentat fomenté par son propre camp en juillet 1944, et malgré la débandade de ses troupes, croit encore à la victoire ; mais, devant lentrée des Russes à Berlin, il se suicide dune balle dans la tête, laissant une semaine plus tard ses généraux signer la reddition sans condition de lAllemagne le 8 mai 1945. Dans le Pacifique, les combats sont acharnés. Pour faire plier les Japonais, létat-major américain utilise larme atomique : sur Hiroshima, le 6 août 1945, et sur Nagasaki, le 9 août. Le 2 septembre, les Japonais ont capitulé, larmistice est signée. 1945 : au prix de dizaines de millions de morts, la paix est revenue, la liberté a triomphé. Un nouveau monde est à construire.
