ReviewsFor those of us who have studied WW2 for many years, it has largely been illustrated in black & white, with just a limited number of quite well known colour images that have been well used over the years. This shows us that many more colour images exist from that time, and it I think it gives quite a different viewpoint to see these much rarer examples, and together in such a large number. Historians and modellers alike will enjoy this one, and with the modeller in mind, some great inspiration for equipment and uniform detail as well as many diorama ideas. I think this one is sure to be popular.

SynopsisAn extraordinary collection of more than 250 rare colour photographs showing the devastation of the war on the Eastern Front, Captures the landscapes, battles and daily struggles faced by soldiers and civilians in vivid detail, Images taken from acclaimed photo collector Ian Spring's extensive PIXPAST Archive and accompanying text by esteemed military historian Simon Forty, A vivid, firsthand visual account of the brutal battles and conditions on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front was where the war against Nazi Germany was lost and won. More people died there in the battles and destruction than all the other theatres put together. From the Arctic snows of Finland to the vast steppes of the Ukraine, the fighting took place in every sort of landscape and every weather condition: sub-zero temperatures that froze engines and weapons, mosquito-infested swamps, the raputitsa mud that brought mechanised armies to a halt, and the huge industrial cities that were fought over street by street and house by house.What was it like to fight there? Hitler's War of Extinction from the Eastern Fronttakes the reader into the thick of the battle lines in vivid colour. First-hand accounts from reports and diaries provide soldiers' insights to accompany the candid photos of life and death to provide an evocation of what it was like to fight for survival on the Eastern Front.Boasting more 250 original colour photographs, Hitler's War of Extinction: Rare German Colour Photographs shows the visceral nature of the battle between two intolerant ideologies that would leave upwards of 25 million servicemen and civilians dead.
