WORLD WAR II MAGAZINE

Description: World War II magazine covers every aspect of history's greatest modern conflict with vivid, revealing, and evocative writing from top historians and journalists. Each issue provides a lively mix of stories about soldiers, leaders, tactics, weapons, and little-known incidents of the war, including riveting firsthand battle accounts and reviews of books, movies, and video games. And the most authoritative magazine on the war features a striking design that highlights rare, archival photographs and detailed battle maps to convey the drama and excitement of the most famous battles and campaigns. …And collect them you will, because WWII is more akin to the permanent reference in your library than the regular magazines you just flip through and discard. MAY 1994 ARTICLES *D-DAYS MIGHTY HOST - Operation Overlord was the greatest military endeavor ever undertaken, and in many ways the greatest gamble.

Eisenhower and graduation day for his son John S.D. Eisenhower half a world away at West Point. *REMEMBERING OMAHA'S ORDEAL - "Two kinds of people are going to stay on this beach," said Colonel George A. Taylor to the paralyzed troops of his 16th Regimental Combat team, "the dead and those who are going to die. Now let's get the hell out of here!" *AIRBORNE FLANK ATTACK - On June 4, 1944, Brigadier James Hill briefed his 3rd Parachute Brigade on its mission to Normandy. "Gentleman," he warned "in spite of your excellent training and orders, do not be daunted if chaos reigns. It undoubtedly will." There is water damage on the back.
