Historical information about the battles fought during the Second World War. Military prints and paintings of these battles may also available.

Many believe that the seeds of this war were planted with the Treaty of Versailles which brought the Great War to its end. Another view is that it all began when Hitler became chancellor of Germany. Hitler started rebuilding Germany's armed forces and in 1936 reoccupied the Rhineland. Two years later he succeeded in annexing Austria. It was only when Hitler invaded Poland that Great Britain and France thought it best renounce the Treaty and declare war. After Poland fell to the Germans Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium and France became the next victims. On 7th December 1941, Japan entered the war with the attack on Pearl Harbour amongst others.

Atlantic and Mediterranean Offensives:

Atlantic Ocean 1940-1944
Oran 1940
A large number of the French fleet was anchored in the Algerian port of Mers-el-Kebir in Oran. With the French surrender Admiral Sir James Somerville took Task Force H to the port. Here he requested that those French ships joined the Royal Navy or sail to America or be scuttled to prevent them falling into German hands. French Admiral Marcel-Bruno Gensoul refused to take any option and so the task force bombarded the French ships for ten minutes. The ships anchored at the port included cruiser Dunkerque, cruiser Strasbourg, two battleships, several light cruisers, destroyers and submarines. The only major ship to survive was Strasbourg. The remaining French fleet was scuttled at Toulon on 27th November 1942.
Taranto 1940
On the evening of 11th November Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham sent planes from the carrier Illustrious to attack the Italian fleet at Taranto. Torpedoes crippled three battleships and two cruisers but sank two other ships. This action helped to disable half the Italian battle fleet for many months.
Matapan 1941
A British naval force under Admiral Henry Pridham-Whippell sank several Italian cruisers and destroyers as well as damaging a battleship after encountering the Italian Navy off Cape Matapan. The action took place on 28th March in the Greek Peloponnese with a total of 8 British ships.  This helped the Allies preserve naval supremacy in the eastern Med.

Escape to the Elbe, Berlin, 3rd May 1945 by David Pentland.

Following Hitlers death, the decision was taken by the officers and men of Sturmartillerie Brigade 249 to break out of the doomed capital. Shortly before midnight on the 3rd, what remained of the unit fought to the edge of the city at Spandau. By this time the brigade had been split into two elements, the first under Hauptmann Herbert Jaschke successfully punched their way out to the west. The second group was not so lucky, and its survivors fell into Soviet captivity.

Dash to the Sea, November 1944 by David Pentland.

As allied forces pressed inland towards Caen, the 21st panzer Division launched a counterattack along a narrow three mile corridor between the Canadians on Juno beach and the British on Sword. the charge led by fifty tanks of 22nd panzer regiment and supporting Panzer grenadiers was engaged on its eastern flank by heavy British anti tank fire and the bulk of the force was pinned down or destroyed. ultimately only six PZ IVs and a company of infantry mannered to reach the coast at lion sur mer. their stay however was short lived and within a few hours the arrival of the transports and gliders of the British 6th Airborne directly overhead forced the entire division to pull back for fear of being trapped.
