The last months of the Second World War were characterized by a dramatic radicalization. After the defeat of the axis powers became obvious, the governments in Germany and Japan turned to desperate measures to push the opponent back. In Germany, the Volkssturm was launched, a movement for the mobilization of all defensive men, which, however, was militarily ineffective, such as bpb . The fanaticism of the German propaganda conveyed the belief in a 'final victory', despite the rapidly deteriorating situation.
The Allied air offensive, which was already the linchpin of the conflict at the beginning of the 1940s, intensified.
