About: When World War Two ended in Europe, the U.S. Army and various intelligence agencies collected reams of evidence relating to the conduct of the war. A large number of photographs became property of the U.S. government and then the U.S. National Archives. This publication was created from those collections. Essentially, this is a pictorial guide, supplemented by text, through the world shocking Nazi Gunman 1940 Western Campaign which brought the Allies to their knees in weeks. Looking back, one cannot fully grasp how this campaign upended top military commands in the Great Powers and reshuffled all the carefully conceived strategic planning scenarios. There are two main sources: The December 1940 book, With Hitler in the West, created by Hitler's personal photographer, Heinrich Hoffman, and published by Joseph Goebbels, the infamous Third Reich propaganda chief.
