Made using Windows Paint!? That must have taken a little while...

Made with Microsoft Paint

That's incredible. Serious hard work from the guy, this looks extremely professional.

If anyone's interested, there is a twitter handle that tweets events from WW2 in real time, every day, and will do so for the next ~4 years (They're currently in 1941)

What was the name of the Allied invasion of the south of France that started around August 20th 1944?

A few thoughts:

• You can see quite clearly why it was called a phony war for the first year or so.

• The eastern front ebbs and flows with the season. Funny isn't the right word because people were slaughtered for no reasonable cause, but it was amusingly curious.

• Africa just turns blue in November 1942. Quite startling.

• I got a lump in my throat after D-day happened. Very powerful to see it displayed like that.

• The race to Berlin at the end is quite staggering.

I am curious about the parts of the horn of Africa that remained red especially that little dot. Finland did an excellent job defending their land from the Russians and the Nazis and almost gain more land then they started off with. I wish that the allies supported Finland more after the war was over.

I love the detail... my dad tells me stories of when the American troops liberated his area of Belgium in the summer of 1944 when he was 7 years old and I could see the advance happening on the map.

It's also really scary when you see a map of how much territory was under Nazi control at one point.

Neat, that makes me want to read up on Finland during the war.

Incredible. Everyone should see this.
