I cant really describe the content of these photos, they really are worth a million words. They capture such true, emotional, and unique scenes in all their glorry or missery.
Well worth the look, take your time to slowly browse through and look at each photo in detail, the expressions of the faces, whats happening, everything.

I know your website. it's really cool but I didn't know that you have WWII videos. I'll check it out later. Thanks!
Well every week i visited the site to view all the pictures , but i noticed on the picture of D-day where they were getting off the landing craft , the caption wrote :
"Landing on the coast of France under heavy N**I machine gun fire are these American soldiers, shown just as they left the ramp of a Coast Guard landing boat."
I don't see them as n**is , some of them were polish soldiers forced to garrison the fortifications.
While I looked at these pictures, I asked myself "What if America never existed? What if there were no America to stop the Nazis and the Japanese? Who would have fought against them and would they have won? What if there never was an America and the idea of a free society? Would the people of this hypothetical world have considered the savageries of World War II and the Holocaust as horrors or just as common occurences?"
Then I ask myself, "what about today?" If we don't fight for freedom, who will? ---------------------------
I mean common - open your eyes! The war had been going on for years and was being courageously fought by many countries. Statements like that demean the sacrifices made by those countries such as my own (UK) - My grandfathers fought in both WW1 and WW2 to protect other countries. I mean America did have an important role but no more than others. Took them bloody years to get involved!
I imagine seeing them in color, theres a weird feeling that grasps your heart when you see them, when you see japanese aircraft crashing into the ocean only a few yards off the side of the ship where one of the pictures is taken.

You're right, I hate such things, even in games. In COD they said: ordinary soldiers like American, British and Russian soldiers... and I think that even all german soldiers were also ordinary soldiers and not only "AMERICA and his allies" like many games mention in their stories, Germans lost because they were outnumbered and tierd, not because of America. It was simply impossible for America to outnumber the germans without waiting for 2 years.
OH, never mind, It was off topic anyway....

I think we can all stand back and agree many countries made extreme sacrifices in world war II. I don't agree with the American Bashing becasue they got involved in the war later. Would we rather America never lent a hand at all? I think we all forget who it was sailing convoys and providing weapons to the Allies after the Allies were thrown out a Dunkirk, leaving massive amounts of arms behind. Britian would have certainly crumbled under the U-boat menace had America not provided the goods. America was fighting the war of supply for years. How 'bout a little respect for the yanks?
