Holy Crap!:eek: There are some nice shots in there. The Pegasus Bridge photo is definitely cool. The concentration camp shots are particularly moving.

Google search produced two pages of hits to News organizations as well as the site. My guess is their server couldn't handle all the traffic. Hopefully it will be back up soon.

I've been trying to get into the site for the last 24-hours w/out success. They need a bigger pipe to handle the traffic. lol.

In a way, it's great to see that these pictures can draw SO much interest. I was afraid that most of our society didn't care about anything that wasn't packaged into an hour of not-quite-reality TV.

The site has been slashdotted since two days before they were supposed to be coming online with the picture archive.

I don't understand what you mean by this.
