WW2 in Colour
For so many years, historians and casual observers alike have observed the events of World War II through faded black and white images. What most people do not know is the fact that quite a large portion of the WWII was shot using color film! However, it wasn't until recently that a lot of the photographs and motion picture footage was de-classified by the U.S. Government. We don't just have a collection of U.S. images, but we also have a diverse collection of German, Russian, Japanese, British and Italian photos.

Iwo Jima Retrospective : Video
http://www.military.com/NewContent/0,13190,NI_Iwo_Jima2,00.html
Iwo Jima Retrospective
For all who bear its scars, the battle for Iwo Jima,February 19-March 26, 1945, still looms gargantuan, unbelievable, devouring; not measurable by Guadalcanal, Peleliu or Belleau Wood, but by its own arena, complexity, ferocity and the character of its combatants, whose American casualties were one third of all Marine Corps casualties in the war.

Social Relationships During World War II in USA
http://marchand.ucdavis.edu/lessons/fightingfor/fight.html
American Visions of National Purposes and Social Relationships During World War II
The images on the set of slides, which should be viewed in conjunction with the identification of sources and reproduction of text on the following pages, are taken primarily from popular, broad circulation magazines in the United States during the years 1942 to 1945. Many are advertisements. Others are magazine covers, posters or news stories. Nearly all of them represent some attempt, through visual image alone or through a combination of picture and words, to make a statement about the nature of an America at war -- its ideals, its way of life, its pattern of social relationships and social expectations, its vision of the things to be gained through victory,

Interview Adolf Hitler!
http://www.activehistory.co.uk/head2head/hitler/index.htm
Empathising with the German people who supported Hitler does not mean sympathising with them, but it does prevent us complacently dismissing the evils of Nazism as a "German problem" and thereby leaves us much better equipped to tackle similar tragic situations if and when they arise again.
