"Experience World War II as portrayed by Nazi propaganda magazine Signal-- and contrast it with what really happened between 1939 and 1945. At its peak, Signal had a circulation of around 2.5 million and was published in more than 20 languages across occupied Europe. Its astounding photography and propaganda articles continue to make fascinating reading today. This book puts the Signal story into its factual context, showing how Signal played a significant part in stiffening Nazi resistance as the war progressed."--Page 4 of cover.
