The Second World War was a watershed in world history: the seizing
of power by Hitler and the Nazis, the slowly building crescendo of
annexations that led to Blitzkrieg, the conquest of Europe, the
U-boat war, the strategic bombing campaign, the invasion of Russia,
Stalingrad and D-Day, and the long German retreat to unconditional
surrender. Mapping the Second World War does not try to retell
every point in the story of the war in Europe, rather it seeks to
provide - through contemporary documents - a different view of the
war and suggest avenues for further research. Presenting over 100
maps it looks both at the broad sweep of events - such as the
invasion of Europe in June 1944 - and at details - the two-man
X-craft attack on the battleship Tirpitz - to provide a fascinating
sample of how events during the war were mapped out. Charts and
maps were vital to the conduct of the war: before each military
event there was 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. Many of the maps selected have
been used in actual combat and are marked up accordingly. Such
battlefield annotations add to this fascinating overview of some of
the key events in the Second World War and are referenced in the
extended accompanying map captions. The volume is complete with a
detailed narrative introduction to the progress of the war.
