Well, it only lasted about 18 months. The trouble was that the photographic reproduction of the original material was terrible - both magazines only having access to 1930s standard photogravure, as well as only being able to publish official pictures from each side, often heavily retouched - and the journalism was stilted, reliant on each side's propaganda, and wholly reliant on the state of knowledge as it was at the time. And no amount of gazing backwards could make 1930s propaganda palatable for a late 20th century readership, used to a far higher standard of research and journalism. Later issues tried colour photographs on the cover, but to no avail.
It might have worked if it had been only an occasional publication, marking the anniversary of key dates and with the reprints interleaved with more modern content; but buying something quite drab that didn't stand up well against other newsstand offerings on similar subjects was, in retrospect, probably doomed to failure. The last issue appeared under the strapline, "For you, the war is over." A good try, but rather over-optimistic.
