| The First World War is usually seen as a static war of attrition, but by 1918 the Germans had employed a radically different form of combat. This account of the first Stormtroopers traces their development as a fighting unit as well as the technical advances in machine guns, heavy artillery and flamethrowers that would make them central to Hitler's Blitzkrieg. Drawing on German, British and French tactical manuals, this illustrated account marks a watershed in infantry history. | ||||

| Yorkshire's war was the nation's war in microcosm. Hull, Sheffield and York experienced the 'blitz', tanks rumbled through Halifax and everywhere people suffered dispiriting restrictions and shortages. This collection of photographs from the archives of the Yorkshire Post recaptures the drama and danger of those turbulent years in the North, East and West Ridings. From Land Army girls, munitions factories and royal visits, to returning POWs and VE Day celebrations, these images recapture the war years from a Yorkshire perspective. | ||||
