There are also articles on the Gestapo, "the Terror of Europe," the ways the Allies helped Resistance fighters behind enemy lines, "Shaping the Plans" (further improvements in D-Day plans), and "D-Day, the Hidden Meaning."

On the eve of Operation Overlord the Allies had amassed 50,000 men for the spearhead assault, to be followed by 2,000,000 more. But without Allied supremacy in armor and control of the air above the battlefield, the whole operation could result in catastrophe. The task was enormous?and so were the arguments over how it was to be carried out. Important weapons in the Allied arsenal were the strange, armored vehicles called 'The Funnies.'" Among the numerous B/W and color photographs and illustrations in this issue are: a panoramic view of some of the Allied troops and armored vehicles ready for invasion, huge number of American Sherman tanks and Thunderbolt planes, Eisenhower watching a pre-invasion training exercise, Sherman Firefly tank, Sturmpanzer IV tank, JAGD-Panther tank, Funnies ("armor specially adapted to deal with various types of obstacles"?Duplex Drive, Bobbin, Crab, Churchill AVRE, Armoured Bulldozer, Churchill Crocodile), weaponry (Panzerschreck rocket-launcher, PIAT anti-tank launcher), Major-General P.C.S.

This issue's articles are Barbarossa: The Shock ("June 22, 1941: the Eastern Front is opened. The German Blitzkrieg stunned the Russian frontier armies with the brutal realities of invasion. General Popel, at the time an officer with the Red Army, recalls the nagging suspicion and apprehension which accompanied the last hours of peace in eastern Europe), Barbarossa: Drive to Smolensk (The waiting was over. Bock's Army Group Centre plunged into White Russia, with Moscow as its key Objective. The Russians fought and lost the 'battle of the frontiers,' as the Germans had hoped; and the German victories of encirclement at Minsk and Smolensk netted vast numbers of prisoners. But it was a long way to Moscow?and Russia's reserves seemed inexhaustible), Barbarossa: Drive to Kiev (As Rundstedt's Army Group South thrust deep into the Ukraine, Hitler halted the central drive on Moscow and decreed?in defiance of his generals' advice?that the Russian capital was not to be the prime military target. Economic factors obsessed Hitler; the wheatlands and industries of the Ukraine were of more importance than the fall of the Soviet capital. The result was the battle of Kiev, the greatest military disaster in the Red Army's history, but the Red Army was still in being as autumn approached). In this issue are numerous photographs, both B/W and color, including German infantry waiting for artillery barrage to lift before attacking, Stukas bombing Russian town, Bock's Panzergruppen passing Brest Litovsk and Bialystok, German infantry in four-day fight for Brest Litovsk, German infantrymen springing from armored troop-carrier, Germans attacking Soviet transport train, German 50-mm gun crew, Marshal Budenny, Field-Marshal Bock, German horse-drawn guns, various images of German soldiers advancing, burning houses in Zhitomar, house-to-house fighting, surrender of Russian militiamen, Russian tank knocked out.

Very good 3-staple binding. 10 ¾ x 8 ¼, 28 pages, 3 ounces XX Part 32 of THE HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR focuses principally on battles and losses in Asia and the Pacific. This issue's articles are: The Long Retreat: the First Burma Campaign (Since it had long been thought that a land invasion of Burma was very unlikely, the defenses of the country had been seriously neglected. However, by the end of 1941, the Japanese were ready to occupy Burma to protect the northwest flank of their Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. Brigadier Sir John Smyth, who commanded the British ground forces during the first part of the campaign, gives a first-hand account of the unequal battle, and the long retreat?the longest ever made by a British army?back to the Indian border"), Air War in the Far East (During the early months of 1942 the Japanese had achieved almost complete control of the air in the Far East. Allied pilots were unable to cope with the Zero fighter, and Japanese bombers were able to attack land targets and shipping with almost complete safety. Raids on Darwin and Broome led the Australians to believe that a landing on their own soil was imminent?but by June the tide had turned, and Allied fighters and bombers were gaining superiority both in quantity and quality), Battle of the Coral Sea (In the spring of 1942, following their rapid successes during the early months of the war, the Japanese were ready to extend their control over the Coral Sea by capturing Port Moresby in New Guinea?thus isolating Australia, and opening the way for further advances in the southwest. The battle which ensued was the first to be fought entirely by aircraft?no ship on either side made visual contact with the enemy?and when it ended, the Japanese had failed to achieve their objective, and their advance had been checked). In this issue are numerous B/W and color photographs and illustrations, including Japanese tanks crossing a make-shift bridge into Burma, Japanese troops with bicycles, failed British river defenses, British demolishing bridges as they retreat, Japanese 70mm howitzer and machine-gun crews, Japanese patrol in Mandalay railway yard, Japanese seizing Yenangyaung oil field, oil storage tanks blazing in Rangoon, blazing B-17 bomber after Japanese air raid on Bandung airfield in Java, wrecked hangar at Darwin, Japanese bomber crews, Japanese planes (Mitsubishi G4M Betty, Mitsubishi Ki-21 Sally, Nakajima Ki-43 Oscar), American planes (Douglas SBD-III Dauntless, Douglas TBD-I Devastator, Grumman F4F Wildcat), Col. Doolittle's B-25 bombers on Hornet' s flight deck before attack on Tokyo, Doolittle in China after raid, B-25 takes off from an aircraft carrier, Japanese reconnaissance seaplane, Lexington's 40mm flak crews hit back at Japanese air strike, Lexington aircraft-carrier, Shokaku aircraft-carrier, Vice-Admiral Frank J. Fletcher (commander of US carrier force in Battle of the Coral Sea), and various images of the Coral Sea battle. There are also several maps.
