Historical Maps of World War II Europe

Beschreibung

144 pages. Quarto volume, measuring 11-1/4 by 10 inches. Most of the maps have color. The Public Records Office in West London (the major holding of all public documents in the United Kingdom) was the source of all the maps used in this book. The maps are derived from a number of government departments and reflect the interests and concerns at the time they were compiled. The maps incorporated in this selection are drawn primarily from contemporary World War II sources, and many of them have been annotated by the commanders or operational staff who used them. This additional information adds greatly to their value as historical documents. Michael Sharpe is a freelance aviation writer who has written for a number of publications, including The Military Yearbook. He is the author of Great Air Disasters and Expert Guide: Attack & Interceptor Jets. In over a hundred maps, this work looks both at the broad sweep of events--such as the invasions of Europe in June 1944--and at details --such as the two man X-craft attack on Tirpitz--to provide a fascinating sample of how events during the war were mapped out. Maps and illustrations were vital to the planning, the reconnaissance, the conjecture as to enemy dispositions' after the event there would be debriefing, analysis of success and failure, and a redrawing of maps to show new troop positions and boundaries. Presumed First Edition, First printing this.
