Historical Research and Reference

If you know of a site that you think is a good historical reference, feel free to submit it. Again, it must be relevant to the WWII period. Please avoid personal and "dedication" sites unless they offer some genuine historical insight, info or photos. I do not want a page that's a mile long, cluttered with piddly sites paying homage to someone's dog, on free servers that assault people with dozens of pop-ups. If the site is really good, I'll let some annoying ads slide, but it really aggravates me as well as many others.
