This site is a great place for short films about World War II and the life at home and some battles filmed during the time. It is also a great example of propaganda used during this time period. From who the men are that are fighting for us to the things that civilians relate to soldiers overseas at the time. Most of these are made by the United States government and are propaganda but are good resources to view if you are interested in the history of World War II and short film of the time.

This is a link all about D-day and what went on in it. There are many pictures of the event taking place and pictures of what happened before and after. There are videos that help explain or show certain parts that were filmed during the time. You can go through Generals and leaders of the battles and study them and see what they looked like. There is a page on this site where you can listen to Veterans accounts of this battle. There are also some learning activities that you can do and there are many images of maps of the battles that help portray how the event took place. I would highly suggest this too anyone who wanted to study D-day or World war II.

Lastly, this was an interesting link i found about Newsmaps that were made for the civilians at the time to know where the soldiers were going and how the fight was going. It goes from each week of April, 1942 until the end of the war. There are descriptions for each arrow in the paper under the map. There are pages of the maps that have been digitized so that they will be kept safe forever. You can see how the tides of the war changed and where the boundaries of the countries were at the time. It was a way that the civilians could keep up-to-date on how the war was going.
