WW2 in Real Time

TimeGhost is an utterly amazing project. They’re currently going through World War II, week by week, in real time. That is, every week they post a really good summary of what happened in the corresponding week of the war.

They’ve also done WWI in the same way and have ancillary channels about other conflicts, like the Cuban Missile Crisis Day by Day.

Definitely, worth a look.

Propaganda Posters from WWIII

Poster by Brian Moore (2009) (click image for his Flickr page).

Next year we’ll be looking at (and creating) propaganda posters when we study 20th century conflicts. Brian Moore has a wonderful set of adaptations of WWII posters for WWIII.

Inspired by the 2009 Iran election protest and activism and censorship therein, the WWIII Propaganda Posters were conceived as a mostly playful statement on wartime, citizen journalism, censorship, and how they all play with the advent of the Internet.

Because I’m such a fan of open-content, collaborative efforts like Wikipedia, my favorite poster is below.

I particularly like the eclectic selection of titles.
