1943-1944 OVERRUN COUNTRIES SCOTT #909-921
The World War II Axis powers consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. During the war, these countries conquered large territories. The Axis powers had long prepared for war, developing devastating military technologies. Although many armies bravely opposed the Axis, the enemy strength and strategies were too much. The Overun Countries Series honors the 13 countries occupied by the Axis.
