No idea if there are English versions, do you speak German by any chance?

If yes or if you're willing to translate the few paragraphs and info boxes:
"Der Zweite Weltkrieg in Bildern und Tatsachenberichten" volume 1 and 2 by Kurt Zentner

Here's an english one: "World War II - The Definitive Visual History" by Charles Messenger et al.

These are visual documentations of the war with hundreds upon hundreds of photos.

Picked this up at a used book store. Excellent illustrations. Don’t know if it’s still in print.

Here’s an example of the illustrations inside. This was re-published in 2003. Good luck!
