The publishers of 'Britain at War in Colour', 'America at War in Color' and the Imperial War Museum's 'Second World War' in Photographs have scoured the world's archives to find over 250 startling colour images of the Third Reich. These powerful photographs show for the first time how wartime forces and civilians really looked.
There are photographs of the rise of Nazism, scenes of life on the home front, and harrowing images of death, destruction and the Holocaust, sharply contrasted with the Wehrmacht celebrating their early victories in western Europe and Russia. The colour pictures bring an added dimension to the scenes of war, making them more real to modern readers than black and white shots.
