Features: The fourth volume of "The Illustrated History of World War II" covers the magazines from week 71 to week 100. No previous book has documented so many major events that influenced the war. It's hard to imagine unless you see the end. As for the chapters below, World War I will unfold at a faster pace compared to the first seven months of 1941. In fact, our text and images will prove to be a photographic record of the historically significant global war conflicts. The British army achieved a stunning victory over the Italians in North Africa, greatly accelerating the destruction of Mussolini's forces; the extremely important Battle of Matapan severely damaged the Italian navy; the Greeks bravely resisted the fascist invasion; the South Africans made perfect diplomatic moves; the betrayal of Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary allowed Nazi Germany to dominate the Balkans; the short-lived Iraqi revolution; on the Syrian front, the Vichy government's transformation led his former French ally, under General Dentz, to turn against the hostile French forces. Fortunately, this gave Germany a new direction for its eastward advance, which did not benefit Hitler in the slightest; the tremendous growth of the British air force foreshadowed that soon, air superiority would entirely fall into the hands of the powerful Royal Air Force; the sensational breakdown of relations between Germany and the Soviet Union greatly expanded the war's scope; the Americans took major steps to ensure cooperation with the British—apart from a few new chapters, this is the main content of world history described in this volume over the seven months. We do not need to emphasize the great difficulty of publishing this work, "The Illustrated History of World War II." Although Britain was the main target of Germany's attack, we do not want this book to be edited, published, and widely circulated only in Britain and her allies. We will spare no effort to promote this series. This innovation aims to achieve its original purpose: to complete a vivid photographic record of World War II, the historical impact of which will undoubtedly overshadow the previous works.
