Features: This exquisite series, compiled from all current World War II materials for re-publication, has become the most comprehensive and vivid publication in history to document the Second World War. "The Illustrated History of World War II, Volume 3" includes issues 45-70 of the weekly magazine. In this book, historically shocking major events are concisely described, accompanied by unparalleled rich visual materials. In the notes of Volume 2, the editor once remarked, "It is gone forever that we can compare with these exciting and historically significant periods." This statement can once again be confidently repeated and reaffirmed in this volume. He also said, "I dare not guess how spectacularly the following volumes will be presented." Exploring the third volume, you will realize how limited human imagination is, even though the most severe war disasters have already fallen upon us—Norway, Finland, Belgium, and the unjust betrayal of our Allied nations—France. The main current events in this volume are the Battle of Britain, although it was a war that no one knew how to end, no one feared the final outcome. It is uplifting that in the third volume, the glorious achievements of our Nile Army and the respected Greek Army in Albania have shown such a brilliant performance, so that at the end of the war, we are filled with high hope and confidence, whatever judgment still awaits us. The comprehensive index has been meticulously arranged, making it convenient and quick to find articles and visual materials related to this volume. A brief reading will reveal the precision and breadth of our contemporary war chronicles.
