Summary of Playback Changes: Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini is not voted out of power by his Grand Council. Italy continues to fight against the Allied Forces until 12/4/1943, when they are forced to surrender. Both Mussolini and his wife are still executed via firing squad, albeit at a much earlier date. Axis troops in Germany, France, and Austria attempt to regain Italy, but fail due to being outnumbered by Allied troops. While the film does not explain why, it is believed to be because the majority of Axis troops were fighting against the Soviets. After the war ends, Italy is cut up in a similar fashion to Germany, with Britain, France, and the United States sharing the west side, and the Soviets sharing the east side. As of when the film was released, neither Germany or Italy have been reunited. Run time extended by 26 minutes.

Summary of Playback Changes: Germany decides not to invade Soviet Russia, but instead enacts a more advanced version of "Operation Sea Lion". known as "Operation Dry Tea". Naval forces became the main focus of the German military, increasing their fleet by forty different variety ships in a total of eleven months. The naval invasion, as well as bombings from the Luftwaffe, proves successful, as Germany annexed Britain on 9/23/1941. During the invasion, roughly one hundread thousand casualties occurred, including the death of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The annexation causes the United States to declare war on Germany, and begin landings in occupied Britain and France approximately two months later. Over three hundred thousand more casualties occur for Allied troops, although America managed to liberate Britain and France. However, a mix of public protest and loss of lives causes Allied forces to cease fire, and sign a peace treaty with Germany, ending the war. The film ends with a promotion for a sequel documentary titled "The War to Kill the Third Reich." Run time extended by 43 minutes.

Summary of Playback Changes: Japanese intelligence discovers the United States plan to use atomic weaponry against them, as well as the location of the two bombs they have. A plan is quickly devised known as "Operation Fiery Fuji". The plan would involve flying the majority of their remaining Air Force to Tinian Island, and conducting a kamikaze attack upon the air base in an attempt to prevent the United States using the atom bombs. On 7/25/1945, the plan was enacted, with moderate failure at first. This was due to most planes at the base not being out in the open, but instead in hangars. Because of this, the Japanese attempted to search for hangars with planes inside, which would allow American forces on the ground to shoot them down. When one plane combusted on it's right wing, it lost control. It would crash into the hangar holding the two atomic bombs, detonating them both. The resulting blast would kill all men stationed at the island, with the exception of American troops located on three ships surrounding it. Unable to use the island, and therefore any future atomic bombs, American president Harry Truman decides to launch an invasion on mainland Japan. While successful, the invasion causes over two million casualties on both sides over the course of its six month campaign. The narrator describes the Japanese invasion as "One of the most bitter and cruel acts of revenge in modern history, for it was simultaniosly a military offensive and a genocide." Run time extended by 35 minutes.
