Croberts Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I am also interested in geography and cartography. But almost all books about WWII presented maps from our point of view... in other words, it showed the 1938 borders with occupied areas colored in. But what did a German map of, say, 1942 Europe look like? Obviously they didn't show Poland or Austria on their maps. To them, these countries no longer existed. And what would Europe have looked like had the Nazis won the war? What were their plans?Fortunately, in recent years, books have started incorporating such things and many interesting WWII atlases have hit the bookshelves in recent years.The german library of information in NY published a periodical in the us called Facts in Review. It is full of maps. They show things like the Czech threat to the existance of germany (czech bombers could reach all of germany, hence the nation is living on borrowed time till they annex Czechslovakia. Never mind that there was not a Czech air force. Others show the polish plans for invasion, britian as the aggessive nation (compares the area of german to the area of britain and its commonwealth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizen4rmptown Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 What we call war today is a joke! In WWII, everyone was engaged, and their lives profoundly affected by the event, and everyone made sacrifices, be it blood, separation from family, or inconvenience in daily life.I would't call this war a joke. Obviously it's not as bad. The reason there isn't as musch war effort from everybody is simple, this war is not A WORLD WAR. So before you diss this war, try to remember the whole world is not invloved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
