A volume from the ?Campaigns of World War II? series. The German campaigns in Europe and North Africa from 1939 to 1942 were characterised by a new style of warfare. The Germans put the theory of ?Blitzkrieg? into practice against their opponents with devastating effect: the Wehrmacht triumphed in Poland, Norway, the Netherlands and France, whilst Rommel secured major victories against the British in North Africa.
The book is a military history of the conflict in Europe and North Africa from the invasion of Poland in September 1939 to the Battle of El Alamein in October?November 1942. The text is supplemented by detailed maps illustrating the movements of the armed forces. In addition, there are illustrations of the uniforms, armoured vehicles, aircraft and ships that took part in the operations.
