FOREWORD The most prodigious war in history has provided the reader with an inestimable quantity of photographic record. In addition to the customary industry of the news agencies, the belligerent governments have applied themselves to the accumulation of fabulous picture files.

Update Epg On Openbox V8s Review here. The original Bureau of Naval Personnel (bp) entries for those Navy personnel who died in combat have mostly been transcribed.

In the United States, Great Britain and Russia, each branch of service has an extensive corps of expert photographers. The enemy nations have indicated a similar fecundity, although it has perhaps been on not so comprehensive a basis. THE PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR in its two volumes has attempted to present a selection of the best of this photography. Unlike most picture books of the war, the material has been arranged in chronological order so that the reader is provided with a running story with all events in their true sequence.

In a war of so many complexities, with critical campaigns occurring simultaneously in many parts of the globe, this feature will serve to clarify incidents that over a four-year period have become obscure and remote. Oddly enough, despite the diligence of the photographer historians, a few of the important and dramatic events have been missed. For instance, during the famous Altmark incident there were no photographs taken. This may be ascribed either to the absence of a camera man or to the rapid dramatic action which did not permit picture shooting. In these few cases, the publishers have substituted an artist's conception of the scene, based on eyewitness stories.
