Today’s feature is from one of our dedicated subscribers who never fails to pass along articles and sites of interest.  His comments:
“It’s really interesting for any of you WWII buffs. . . it’s an animated map showing the progress of  WWII in Europe …”

Each time you click on map it shows the next move of the Germans or the Allies.  I suggest you just use the SPACE BAR to click.

Here’s an excellent graphic of World War II.  This is truly fascinating.  Each click of the mouse (or space bar) moves the war forward.  If you have never seen this, it is very well done – a great graphical presentation of the Second World War.

Too bad specific dates were not included for the major campaigns.  Truly scary how many countries fell to Hitler before he opened his  fatal second front in Russia.

This is an outstanding depiction of Nazi Germany’s takeover of Europe from 1942 to 1945.  It puts the enormity of WWII in Europe in perspective.
