Year Since Pearl Harbor, London and Hell's Corner

During WWII, cities like London and New York demanded a second front. Churchill and Roosevelt responded by planning western actions, including air raids over Europe. These raids aimed to ease pressure on Russia and allow American troops to train. The German air force was forced to withdraw from Russia to defend France. Meanwhile, convoys to Murmansk supported the eastern front and the defense of Stalingrad. Despite losses, these efforts strengthened Russia's counterattacks and contributed to the Allied advance in Africa.
