Gold standard of WW2 histories in my opinion, excellently blending text and pictorial study. Despite its age, it still holds up quite well in being accurate with the information it provides not succumbing to post war myths for either side.
Like all of these books, this is a high level, mostly pictorial summary of events. The invasion of Denmark got 8 pages of pictures, that's about all. Much more space was spent on Finland, which was interesting.
