About my page heading "The German Reich": The German Reich was the english translation of Germany's official name during1933–1945, the period dominated by the NAZI party and headed by Adolf Hitler. However, the term The Third Reich was often used instead. In this view of Germany history:
- The MTO, Mediterranean Theater of Operations includes North Africa, Sicily, and the Italian mainland.
- The ETO, European Theater of Operations includes France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Germany.
- WWII Hub contains lists of all subpages.
- Some webpages are incomplete.

- The First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire, which lasted from its medieval founding to its 1806 dissolution during the Napoleonic era.
- The Second Reich was the German Empire, founded in 1871 under the leadership of Bismarck and dissolved in the chaos in Germany which accompanied the 1918 end of World War I.
