War Diary 1939
This publication is of importance to everyone who needs to know the basic facts about events in the West during World War 2. It relates day by day the political, social, economic and military events that occurred during the year in which the war broke out. It covers all European countries and the Americas, and tells of a world expecting war and sometimes planning for it. The events in Czechoslovakia and Poland are provided as well as in those in other countries in Europe, and details of happenings in America at that time. Military coverage includes the Geman campaign in Poland, the Russo-Finnish 'Winter War,' and preparations in France and the Low Countries for the German attack - the so-called 'phoney war' or 'Sitzkrieg.'
