Most of those images can be found free off the NARA.gov and many came from the Bundesarchive, which can be all found - for free - off of Wikimedia.

Yes, of course. But having them in a neat collection, you'd never bothered to search for in several national archives, is quite nice.

Its weird how in some of the photos the photographer died right after taking them. Love the photo of the dead jap pilot with his face ripped off at pearl harbor and the american looks like hes just smiling at it. Very weird.
