In high school all they really taught us about WWII was that Hitler was taking over countries rapidly until he owned most of Europe (due to an appeasement policy, fearing a second Great War) with Britain being the last hold out, as they got bombed.
While holding Europe, the Holocaust happened (I took a whole class about just the Holocaust, but they didn't give the details of the war).
Eventually the US joins the war after Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, they and Britian do the D-Day thing, and the wars over. (It's obviously not this simple, and I know it, but I don't know the details)
I know nothing about the Russian side, and I know that was a big deal. Stalingrad is a thing I hear mentioned a lot.
But obviously the war isn't just that... Can someone recommend some documentaries, websites, or books that I can look at?
EDIT: I'd really like a timeline style view. Like "this is what happened around the world in March 1942"
Gerhard Weinberg's A World at Arms: A Global History of World War II is an excellent one volume history. For the Russian side, I recommend David Glantz's When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler.
The World at War is an excellent television documentary of the war you can find on YouTube or buy on DVD.
If you're looking for a good book that gives a good overview of the war, I highly recommend Max Hastings Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945.
It's very readable and in-depth for the layman. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't give as much attention to the pre-war state of things in Asia, but overall, it gets the job done.
