New Instrument of Total War: A Striking Illustration of British and German Troop Carriers from the Illustrated London News, 1940 This evocative image, titled "A New Instrument of Total War: British and German Troop Carriers," is a captivating double-page spread from the Illustrated London News, published in 1940. The illustration, created by the renowned artist G. H. Davis, provides a fascinating insight into the emerging tactics of the Second World War, specifically the use of troop carriers and parachute armies for invasion. At the heart of the illustration lies the comparison between the British and German approaches to transporting troops by air. On the left, we see a British aircraft, its crosses of St. George emblazoned on the fuselage, preparing to drop troops via parachute. The troops are shown in various stages of descent, their parachutes billowing in the wind. The British aircraft is depicted with a degree of camouflage, its green and brown paint job designed to blend in with the natural surroundings. On the right, the German troop carrier is shown in a more advanced state of preparation. The German device, an improvement on a Soviet invention, is depicted as a larger, more menacing aircraft, with a distinctive cross girding its fuselage. The German troops are shown boarding the aircraft, their expressions determined and focused. The German aircraft, unlike its British counterpart, is shown without any visible camouflage, reflecting the German military's emphasis on speed and efficiency over stealth. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the evolving nature of warfare during the Second World War, with both the British and German forces adapting to new technologies and tactics in their pursuit of victory. The use of troop carriers and parachute armies would prove to be a game-changer in the conflict, and this illustration provides a unique window into this pivotal moment in military history.
