Illustrated needs no introduction to anyone interested in World
War Two. In addition to contemporary photographs of the war in
all its elements – all of which are accompanied by descriptive
script, the magazine contains intelligent articles on all aspects of
the war.
One really interesting section is the “I
WAS THERE!” - Eye-Witness
report Section.
