History in Photos

I noticed this post by Greg Ransom of PrestoPundit this morning.  Greg’s post alerts us to the WWII Aerial Reconnaissance Archives at Keele University, which, per Greg, were supposed to go online today, January 19th.  Here’s the link to the archive. I’ve been trying to get in off and on all day to no avail.  I’d wager that the archive is being bombarded with the same intensity of Dresden’s blacker days.  Greg also provided a link to this BBC article announcing the launch, which also has a couple of photos to view.

Click on the first link in this post though and look at the photo Greg posted.  It’s of prisoners lining up at Auschwitz for roll call.  Remind me again why no country seemed to give a shit about this then, but today they’ll raise memorials to the travesty.
