Summary:

This atlas delves into the cartographic history of WWII: naval, land, and aerial attacks from the invasion of Poland to Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Bulge. Maps include a detailed Germany & Approaches map used by Allied forces in the final stages of the war, full large-scale wartime maps of the world used by President Roosevelt, and crucial Pacific theater maps used by B-17 pilots. Satellite data highlights countries and continents in detail to include the towns, cities, provinces and transportation roads for a pinpoint-accurate depiction of army movements and alliances. Wartime stories from the fields of battle, along with photographs, sketches, confidential documents, and artifacts color the rest of this informative book.
