Bad weather, limited technology, and conflicting reports complicated General Eisenhower's decision about when to launch the D-Day invasion. Ahead of the new film 'Pressure,' learn more about the weather forecasting that would shape the course of the war. https://t.co/JA0OCSwvYp

One of our editorial team recently consulted this article which considers medical research undertaken on captive populations in the Warsaw ghetto, the Vapniarca (Vapniarka) concentration camp, and Changi POW camp. We thought you might be interested too. https://t.co/0Y3aH1Uosw

#homefront article of the week: If you lack butter, you should try cod-liver oil, right? Gerd Berget revisits #WWII #Norway to examine in detail how #housewives navigated wartime information needs and how they capably adapted their behavior. Fascinating! https://t.co/fGdIIj7yFc

A new book review: John Foot's excellent "Blood and Power: The Rise and Fall of Italian Fascism". A brilliantly readable study, that reminds us that Mussolini's fascism was not benigh, but extremely violent from the start. https://t.co/t4XuNH3EEI
