Description

Rusting anti-aircraft fort in the North Sea, German submarine base in France, and a Flak tower in a Viennese park - the legacy of World War II can still be seen in these abandoned places. This book explores over 100 military installations, including defensive structures like the Maginot Line and the Atlantic Wall, as well as bunkers, pillboxes, and gun emplacements. Beyond the military installations, the book delves into the ruins of concentration camps, the empty village of Oradour-Sur-Glane, and other non-military sites, such as Hitler's mountain retreat and the dilapidated Nazi party rally grounds. With 150 outstanding colour photographs, Abandoned Places of World War II presents a comprehensive pictorial examination of the conflict's legacy. The book offers a unique glimpse into the lasting impact of World War II, from Europe to Japan, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the war and its aftermath.
