Hitting the newsstands in April of 1940, the first issue of Signal magazine—Germany's biweekly army propaganda publication—was brashly optimistic, packed full of photographs celebrating the Third Reich's triumph over its enemies. Taking an unconventional look at history in the making, Jeremy Harwood charts the downfall of the Nazi regime through the lens of the magazine, from the heady days of the Blitzkrieg to the way the publication faced up to the Reich's ultimate decline and fall, offering tales of sensationalist heroism with little basis in reality.
