Contains a vast amount of information.

There photo gallery is huge, and a lot of them are from news agencies of the time (click on Current exhibits and then The Allison Collection on the sidebar - galleries start on page 2).

My favourite so far is:

Washington Bureau-ACME Newspictures
Mutual Exchange of “Good Luck”
The above photo flashed to the United States by Radiotelephoto shows at a Sicilian port, a British Commando officer and an American Ranger officer each wishing each other “good luck” prior to embarking for expanded operations which resulted in the capitulations of Italy.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
