To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, The National WWII Museum presents 1945, a new six-part podcast series that tells the story of one of the most consequential years in modern history.

We begin in early 1945, a period marked by intense military campaigns, high-stakes diplomatic efforts, and significant questions over how the war will end. Hosted by New York Times best-selling author Donald Miller and Playtone producer Kirk Saduski, tune in as we tell the story of the war's end through new interviews with the world's leading historians and archival material from The National WWII Museum's collection.

Episodes available weekly starting April 17.
