Accessibility statement

Effective 7 November 2026

Previously should work for everyone, including people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification or a high-contrast setting.

The Hebrew version is further down this page: להצהרה בעברית.

The standard we aim for

This website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. That also covers Israeli Standard 5568 (IS 5568, based on WCAG 2.0 level AA), which the Equal Rights for People with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 2013 require.

What we checked, and when

On 7 November 2026 we checked every page of the site: the home page, Privacy, Terms, Support, Photo credits, this page, and the chapter and person pages that links shared from the app open.

• An automated check with axe-core, at desktop width and at 320 pixels wide.
• By hand: using only the keyboard, the skip link, visible focus, headings and page regions, the page language, text for images, link and button names, colour contrast, zoom to 200 percent, layout at 320 pixels wide, and the Reduce Motion setting.

The automated check is part of the site's code, so we can run it again after every change.

What works

• Every page can be used with the keyboard alone. The first Tab stop is a link that skips to the content.
• Photos and screenshots have a text description.
• The screen recordings of the app each have a Pause button, and do not play at all when your device is set to Reduce Motion. The map of the Eastern Front has one too.
• Text stays readable and nothing is lost when you zoom to 200 percent or use a 320 pixel wide screen.

Known limitations

• The site is in English only. This statement is also in Hebrew.
• The screen recordings of the app are silent. Each has a short text description, but the description does not repeat every word shown on screen. The same stories are in the app.
• The Eastern Front map shows who held each area by colour. A caption under it says the same in words for every date. The dark red for Germany's allies is harder to tell from the dark sea than the 3 to 1 contrast WCAG asks for in graphics.
• This statement covers this website only. It does not cover the iPhone app, the TestFlight page that Apple runs, or the websites we link to, such as the photo sources on the Photo credits page.
