One of the best collections of WW2 pictures I have found on the internet is HERE (http://forum.anothersite.co.uk/sfw-pictures/57148-world-archives-ww2-pics-large-b-w.html).  (64 pages.  some REALLY good stuff)

The thread is in a Safe For Work section but be advised there are many NSFW areas on this Forum.

(there is also a chance that some of the Signatures of the Posters in that thread are NSFW)
