Wwii

On May 8, 1945, the Allied forces formally accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany, officially bringing an end to World War II in Europe. This historic event, which became known as Victory in Europe Day, or V-E Day, offered a long-awaited moment of hope and celebration for millions of people around the world whose lives had been gripped by turmoil, overwhelming devastation and heartbreaking loss throughout the breadth of the war.

One of WWII's most daring Allied D-Day missions and the hunt for Hitler's war criminals is brought to breathtaking life by award-winning, bestselling war reporter Damien Lewis.

This book is a collection of narratives (first person comments) and 181 full color photos from WWII. Most people today whose fathers or grandfathers fought in WWII have a hard time visualizing the war in terms of anything other than the black and white photos and films that are all they've ever seen of it. While we consciously know the war happened, it just doesn't seem real to the subconscious when everything is in the B+W media of another era.
