Five minutes before midnight
This may well be a fateful conference
Bread for bread, blood for blood!
Judge Roosevelt approves
The Balkan cockpit
Operation Thunderclap
War and peace
Part two : Drive from the West. An iron curtain will go down
Ebb and flow
What if it blows up in my face?
I am fighting for the work of the Lord
Operation Sunrise
The Shell House
Between two rivers
We have had a jolly day
Task Force Baum
Decision at Rheims
The Rose Pocket
Part three : East meets West. O-5
Such vile misrepresentations
Victory in the West
On the razor's edge
The Führer is in a state of collapse!
We must build a new world, a far better world

An Italian solution
Death comes to a dictator
The Chief is dead
And now you stab us in the back
The iron curtain in the East moves closer and closer
Beginning of a long surrender
The flags of freedom fly all over Europe
