How Historians Create WWII Battle Maps?

World War 2 LIVE · John C. McManus, Edward G. Hymel · 1h7m
professor of US military history, Missouri S&T; author of multiple volumes on the US Army in WWII
World War II
Selection · Edition 2026-05-15

McManus and Hymel spend an hour on the cartographic craft behind military history — reconciling conflicting after-action reports, translating chaotic terrain into readable graphics, and the editorial decisions that shape how readers understand battles. A niche topic handled with real expertise; more historiography than combat, but the military substance is constant.
