It is 295 weeks since Germany invaded Poland. Here is what was going on 79 years ago during the week of 14-20 April 1945:

The Soviet drive on Berlin continues, but it is now very much a race between the forces of Georgy Zhukov and those of Ivan Konev. In the west, over 300,000 Germans surrender to the Allies as the Ruhr Pocket is eliminated, though there are advances by all Allied armies this week on the whole Western Front. There is even an Allied breakthrough in Italy, though on Okinawa, American attacks get nowhere. The Japanese are advancing in China, and in Burma the Allied drive for Rangoon continues.

Celebrating his 56th birthday. His birthday was once a national holiday filled with celebrations and pageantry. By 1945, it consisted of Hitler emerging from his bunker, viewing a destroyed Berlin, and greeting child soldiers tasked with repelling two million Red Army soldiers.

They already stated that they're doing Korea. The first video drops on June 25.
