I came across this riveting collection of images from the World War II era on The Atlantic. They are doing a series of pictures in chronological order, updated every Sunday until October 30, 2011. Here are a few of my favourites, but be sure to check out the rest from the World War II in Photos gallery!
There’s lots more where these came from, so be sure to check out the gallery at the Atlantic. Just a bit of a disclaimer, though: there are a few graphic images, but they are generally hidden behind a warning.
