Choose a photo for each year of the war & post it with a line to explain why . I'll start off . 1939 Invasion of Poland. 'You started it , you invaded Poland.' 1940 Battle of Britain. Brylcream boys save Blighty. 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. That's brought the Yanks into it. 1942 Surrender of Singapore. Low point for the British Empire. 1943 Soviets defeat the Fascist invaders at Stalingrad. 1944 Operation Overlord. Endless flow of men & machinery. 1945 Battle of Berlin.Game over Adolf. Be interesting to see what you come up with. I image alot of tanks & motor-bikes.
Hard to argue with those choices really Owen. These 3 might have a shout: 1942 El Alamein. First big win for Winston. 1944 Garrison Hill, Kohima. Japan's largest defeat. 1945 Hiroshima. Definitely game over.
