Explore how the Second World War in Europe reached its conclusion – and what happened next.

In 1945, Allied forces battled their way from East and West to victory in Germany. The war in Europe was over, but violence persisted and the future of the peace was unsteady and uncertain.

In this masterclass, you will learn the challenges that people faced during the last months of the war in Europe and in its aftermath. From Allied soldiers to the survivors of Nazi persecution and the leaders who shaped the post-war period, you will look at how people coped with and understood the upheaval of these world-changing events.

In partnership with Queen Mary University of London, IWM Institute’s one-day masterclasses offer an opportunity to expand your knowledge of war and conflict. Suitable for anyone with a passion and enthusiasm for modern history, all you need to attend is a motivation to learn. IWM members enjoy a 10% discount.
