In this seventh volume, the first of four devoted to the Second World War, the reader will find illustrations and derails of uniforms, arms and vehicles, derived both from published works and a great number of as yet unpublished documents. We have not included the British army in this first volume, although chronologically it belongs beside the French army. But the reader leafing through the pages will see the richness of material in the chapter on France, in which we have tried to bring to life again the almost forgotten uniforms of the men who were struck down by the Blitzkrieg. Germany, with its Nazi organisation and powerful Wehrmacht, must appear as the chief antagonist right from the start of this series.
The armoured vehicles of France and Germany are also included in this present volume. It would have been tantamount to treason to have tried to accommodate the magnificent British army in too small a space, and it will take pride of place in the second volume. The second volume also brings together the air forces of the main combatants and the armoured vehicles, and shows the development of the German army from 1941 to 1943. Volume three introduces the opponents in the wider theatre of war - China, the USA and Japan - and features the naval forces of the European nations, the Norwegian and Finnish armies and the armies of the axis satellites.
In the final volume the changing face of the armies of the great nations in the last years of war is shown, and attention is focused on the unfamiliar uniforms of the lesser European countries, ending with a review of the artillery, vehicles and machines (including submarines and aircraft carriers) developed up to 1945. If it has not always been possible to take strict account of chronology, we hope that the reader will find enough to satisfy his curiosity about the performers in this great human drama that has now taken its place in the march of time.
