Few publications have chronicled the physical and historical legacy of the Second World War with the rigour and authenticity of After the Battle magazine. This collection presents issues 51 through 60 of the legendary British periodical, each volume dedicated to pairing wartime photographs with present-day comparisons of the same locations — a then-and-now methodology that has become the magazine's defining hallmark. Individual issues tackle a sweeping range of subjects, including the Libya-Tobruk theatre, the Anzio landings, U-Boat bases, the audacious Raid on Saint-Nazaire, the Maginot Line, and the dramatic ambush of SS-General Rauter, among others. Founded by editor Winston Ramsey, After the Battle has long been regarded as an indispensable reference for serious students of military history, distinguishing itself through meticulous research, rare archival photography, and on-the-ground battlefield reporting. Each issue functions as both a historical document and a piece of investigative journalism, uniting veterans' testimonies, official records, and location surveys into a cohesive and authoritative narrative. For the collector or historian, this run of ten issues represents a remarkable window into some of the war's most pivotal episodes — leaving one to wonder what further forgotten corners of the conflict remain yet to be uncovered.
