History of War Bookazine History Of War Story of The Western Front Second Edition Zurück Ausgabe

It is May 1940, and Western Europe holds its breath. Poland has been occupied for almost a year by its twin rulers, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, but since its fall a ‘phoney war’ has set in. It is about to end in a hail of blood and fire.

By the end of the summer a raft of nations will be crushed beneath the Panzer tracks of the Wehrmacht, including the Low Countries and a stunned France, able to resist for just six weeks before succumbing.

Yet all is not lost. The deliverance at Dunkirk gave Britain hope, and now, with the support of her US allies, she can begin to hit back at a once untouchable enemy. The struggle for Europe has begun.

This is the story of how Nazi Germany swept all before it in the first part of WWII before gradually falling back in the face of overwhelming Allied firepower. It is a tale of courage, deception and brutality, one that will take you from the islands of the Mediterranean to the beaches of Normandy, across the waters of the Rhine and deep into the heart of the Third Reich. It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of the world depended on its outcome.
