World War II in pictures, continued


I've written before about the Atlantic's 20-part series documenting World War II in pictures. It's up to the 11th instalment now, and contains some remarkable material. Here are a few more examples.



Americans learn of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941




American women workers install fixtures in the rear fuselage of a Boeing B-17F bomber, 1942




German troops callously observe the massacred men of Lidice, Czechoslovakia, June 9th, 1942




A dust storm clouds the streets of the Manzanar Relocation Center in California
(a detention facility for Japanese-Americans), July 3rd, 1942




Aftermath of a Japanese air raid on Dutch Harbor, Alaska, June 4th, 1942



Essential reading for the military history enthusiast.
