Across Europe, North Africa, Asia and the Pacific, an estimated 45 million people died -- though some estimates put the figures as high as 60 million --.in almost six years of bloodshed and brutality during World War Two.
The conflict began early on Friday September 1, 1939 when Nazi Germany attacked Poland.
Dictator Adolf Hitler's invasion of Germany's eastern neighbour followed soon after a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union.
The German invaders smashed Poland to defeat in barely a month.
The method was that of "Blitzkrieg" or lightning war - saturation bombing from the air and ground attack by fast motorised infantry and armoured divisions.
