EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the relentless advance of the German Panzer forces during the early stages of the Second World War, as they make their way across the French countryside in 1940. The image, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a striking visual record of history in motion. The scene is set against the backdrop of a vast, open landscape, dotted with trees and farmhouses, as columns of German tanks, led by the iconic Panzer Mark II and Panzer Mark III, move inexorably forward. The tanks, with their menacing silhouettes and ominous exhaust plumes, seem to dominate the frame, symbolizing the raw power and destructive capability of the German war machine. The photograph offers a glimpse into the logistical and tactical prowess of the German army during this period, as they executed their blitzkrieg strategy with precision and speed. The tanks, transported by rail and then assembled on the battlefield, were a key component of the German military's success in the early stages of the war. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, as the faces of the soldiers in the photograph, their expressions a mix of determination and apprehension, underscore the reality of the conflict. The photograph invites us to reflect on the historical significance of this moment, as the world was irrevocably changed by the events of the Second World War. This photograph, with its powerful and evocative imagery, is a testament to the enduring power of historical records to transport us back in time and help us understand the complexities of the past.
