Publisher's Summary

Do you want to learn more about World War II, but don’t have time to read huge, long books? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of each year of the war with The World War II History Journals series which includes one book per year from 1939 to 1945.

Throughout this series of journals released to acknowledge 80 years since the beginning of WW2, we will be looking at the seven years of that conflict on an annual basis. The conflict, the buildup to war, the major battles, the strategies and technological developments, the effect on civilians and most importantly of all we’ll consider the role of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who gave their lives fighting for the freedom of others.

There were no church bells to ring in the New Year of 1941. The people of Britain knew that if the bells rang it would be to warn them of a German invasion, so for the duration of the war, whatever the occasion, the church bells remained silent.

Although Britain had to date managed to withstand a sustained German onslaught, many of her Allies had not, and to make matters worse the Axis powers were gaining strength all the time. When Japan, Germany and Italy signed their tripartite pact, before bringing in Hungary, Romania and Slovakia towards the end of 1940, it looked as if their rise to supremacy could not be stopped. Follow us onward into the history of WW2 in 1941. 

You will learn about:

  • The BEF fighting the Italian army in North Africa
  • First news of the concentration camps, the ghetto of Warsaw
  • Roosevelt gets America involved with “Lend Lease” Bill, Pearl Harbor outrage
  • Yugoslavia invaded, Enigma Codes cracked, Hood, Bismark sunk, Germany invades Russia 

Be sure to listen to all the books in the series - one for each year through the end of the war in 1945! And don’t forget to leave us a review!
