Therefore, for any day there will be some action or event to report. Although there is an entry for nearly every day, there are some days for which there is none. For example, there is no report for August 2, 1942. Not a criticism, just a note. Strictly speaking, the book begins in June 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of St Germain that formally ended World War I. This is fitting, for it was not a peace, just an interlude. The major events that laid the foundation for the official start of the war on September 1, 1939 are briefly mentioned. The ebb and flow of Allied fortunes during the war are closely followed by reading these entries. Since all are short, there is very little that could be interpreted as political commentary, it is a book of concise facts. If you are interested in the day by day actions of World War II, this is a book that you can read for enlightenment. It is an excellent book to be placed on a coffee table, to be picked up and read a couple of pages at a time. Profusely illustrated with pictures from all sides in the conflict, it is concise yet complete. Of course there are omissions, with nearly every nation involved, it is impossible to include all significant events in a book this size.     I have many similar books available    I have many books on sale, please check my listings. I am happy to combine and save postage for you.

The Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. After the German Empire's World War I-era army air force, the Luftstreitkräfte, and the Kaiserliche Marine naval air units had been disbanded by May 1920 under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the Luftwaffe was reformed on 26 February 1935 and grew to become one of the strongest, most doctrinally advanced, and most battle-experienced air forces in the world when World War II started in Europe in September 1939. After the defeat of the Third Reich, the Luftwaffe was disbanded in 1946. Luftwaffe is also the generic term in German speaking countries for any national military aviation service, and the names of air forces in other countries are usually translated into German as "Luftwaffe" (e.g. Royal Air Force is often translated as "britische Luftwaffe").

Following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Germany was not permitted to build or operate submarines. However, clandestine training onboard Finnish and Spanish submarines took place and U-boats were still built to German designs in Dutch yards. At the outset of the Second World War, Dönitz argued for a 300-strong U-boat fleet, since his force of 57 U-boats 'could only inflict pin-pricks against British seaborne trade'. In August 1939, U-48 left Germany, commanded by 'Vaddi' Schultze, to take up a waiting position around England. It scored its first success on 5 September, when it torpedoed the British freighter Royal Sceptre, then the Winkleigh on 8 September. On both occasions — the first of many — Schultze showed himself to be a notable humanitarian: he addressed signals to Churchill giving positions of the sinkings so that crews could be saved. By 1 August 1941, U-48, the most successful boat of the Second World War, had sunk 56 merchant ships of 322,478 gross tons and one corvette. She was then transferred to the Baltic as a training boat. Schultze became commander of operation 3 U-Flotilla and later was appointed commander, II/Naval College Schleswig. He died in 1987 at the age of 78. U-48 was scuttled on 3 May 1945.
