History and profile

After the Battle was first published in 1973, [1] and appeared on the 15th of February, May, August and November each year. The editor-in-chief since 1973 was Winston Ramsey, assisted by his co-author Gail Parker Ramsey, and editor Karel Margry.

The magazine dealt with World War II in a "then and now format". [1] Articles were illustrated by historical photographs matched with a modern-day photograph of the identical scene to show how much (or how little) things have changed. Most issues featured a major article on a specific subject, with several smaller articles. All areas of the world were written about.

There were also occasional features on related subjects such as war films, vehicle preservation, war memorials.

Pen and Sword Books took over the title, but have not produced new issues since No. 195, labelled the final issue.
