World War II: 75 years after Germany invaded Poland. We look back at the deadliest conflict in history. It was fought on the great battlefields of Europe, in the skies and on the seas from Norway to Sicily, in Russia, in North Africa, Hawaii, the Philippines and China.

In all, more than 30 countries battled in a war that would leave more than 50 million dead and transform the world. CCTV America’s John Gilmore reports.

Our panel:
In D.C., Peter Kuznick, a professor of history at American University and co-author of Oliver Stone’s “Untold History of the United States.”
From Berlin, Marc Hujer, the Washington Bureau Chief for Der Spiegel.

By 1939 China was already at war with Japan and the fight continued until the Japanese were defeated in 1945. Earlier this week, China marked the 69th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance against the Japanese invasion. China played a major role in the Allied victory and millions of Chinese died in the war effort.
