Features: World War II was the largest conflict in human history. In this war between the fascist axis powers and the anti-fascist alliance, the number of troops and weaponry involved, the vast scope of the battlefields, the novelty of the combat forms, the scale of the losses, and the depth of the impact were unprecedented. Nearly 60 years have passed since World War II, and with the passage of time, many things have changed. Yet, it still attracts numerous military strategists and historians from China and abroad with its grandeur, profound meaning, and rich heritage. The "World Famous Person Picture Album" series, written by a group of young and middle-aged military historians with expertise both within and outside the military, is another significant work in this regard. The "World Famous Person Picture Album" series currently includes 15 prominent figures such as "Roosevelt," "Churchill," "Stalin," "Eisenhower," "Patton," "MacArthur," "Montgomery," "Lekov," "De Gaulle," "Hitler," "Mussolini," "G?ring," "Rommel," "Tojo," and "Yamamoto." It covers the representative figures who played decisive roles in both the political and military aspects of the war on both sides. The current world is in a period of great change. The Cold War has ended, and the bipolar has collapsed. In the longer term, it may be possible to avoid a new world war. However, the world is far from Eden, and the existence of hegemonism and power politics remains the main obstacle to solving issues of peace and development. Therefore, all those concerned with the international situation and future development, all young people who are determined to serve their country for peace and the happiness of the people, and all who are about to become commanders or are determined to become commanders should read this series. He who is not afraid of difficulties can overcome them. It is hoped that this series can provide useful references for those with ambition and the general readers. Hermann G?ring, the unique imperial marshal (1893–1946), one of the main war criminals of World War II and an important leader of the Nazi Party in Germany, was born in Rosenheim, Bavaria. On April 20, 1945, as Soviet troops were approaching Berlin, he fled to Bavaria. He was stripped of all his duties on April 23 when his attempt to replace Hitler failed. After Germany's defeat and surrender, he was arrested by the Allied forces. In 1946, he was sentenced to death by hanging by the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal and committed suicide by poisoning the day of his execution.
