World War II Combat: Road to Berlin is a high-intensity FPS set in and around the chaotic battle grounds of Berlin during the final days of World War II. There was a dramatic race between U.S. and Russian forces to capture German prototypes, research and top scientists. The spoils of this race altered the direction of the Cold War and the world at large for decades to come.

World War II Combat: Road to Berlin(tm) takes place at the close of WWII, where there was a dramatic race between U.S. and Russian forces to capture German prototypes, research and top scientists. The spoils of this race altered the direction of the Cold War and the world at large for decades to come.

All of the German weapons research and systems featured in World War II Combat: Road to Berlin(tm) are based on actual designs, prototypes and wind tunnel models that were completed before the war ended.
