Do you want to learn more about World War II, but don't have time to read huge, long books? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of each year of the war with The World War II History Journals series which includes one book per year from 1939 to 1945.
Throughout this series of journals released to acknowledge 80 years since the beginning of WW2, we will be looking at the seven years of that conflict on an annual basis. The conflict, the buildup to war, the major battles, the strategies and technological developments, the effect on civilians, and most importantly of all we'll consider the role of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who gave their lives fighting for the freedom of others.
The statistics from World War II, to this day, still make alarming reading as it's generally accepted that this global conflict caused the deaths of over 50 million people, with two thirds being civilian, killed as a result of bombings, large-scale massacres, starvation, and hardship. The future of just about every nation and the way the world was governed depended upon the Allies winning the war, because if the outcome had swung in favor of Adolf Hitler and his Axis powers of Evil, the cost to humanity would have been even greater.
War was officially declared on Germany on the September 3rd, 1939, two days after the German army invaded Poland...follow us onward into the history of WW2.
You will learn about:
What lead to the conflict from the Treaty of Versailles onwards and German resentment
The rise of Adolf Hitler and his influence over the German people
Neville Chamberlain's failed efforts to avoid war at all costs and the deceit of Germany
The so-called phony war in Britain after the outbreak of the actual invasions in Europe
Be sure to listen all the books in the series - one for each year through the end of the war in 1945!
