In 1941, the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan seemed to be on the brink of conquering the entire world. World War 2 began with a series of swift, stunning and decisive victories as the Axis powers completely took the Allies off-guard. By late 1941, Adolf Hitler ruled over a vast empire that covered Europe, large parts of Russia, North Africa and the Mediterranean.
