Norm, I remember seeing the Napoleon graphic years ago and wondering ... Was a similar one ever done for the German invasion in World War II?

Yes, David Sweetman and Otto van Poelje were discussing Tufte off-line. The Tufte gang is quite protective of their graphics for sure.
The most intriguing of his offerings is a print of Minard's graphical description of Napoleon's March to Russia and retreat. I bought the poster. Enjoy poring over it, and enjoy interest of my friends.http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/posters#newposter
