More than 200 historical photographs take you through the final days of the Third Reich and reveal scenes rarely shown in documentaries. The SS grew into one of the most powerful and feared organizations in Nazi Germany, but behind its apparent hierarchical structure lay a complex struggle for power. Officially, Heinrich Himmler was the Reichsführer-SS and the supreme head of the organization. Under his direction, the SS evolved from a small bodyguard unit linked to the Nazi Party into a vast police, repressive, and military apparatus that included the Gestapo, the concentration camp system, and, during the war, the Waffen-SS. ​However, within that system, Reinhard Heydrich quickly rose to prominence. As head of the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) and later the Reich Main Security Office (RSHA), Heydrich accumulated immense power over the intelligence services and the security police. The Gestapo, Criminal Police, and SD were all integrated under his structure. His organizational talent and access to sensitive information turned him

The 20 Most Shocking Discoveries Found on the Normandy Beaches Since D-Day (1944)

Discover unpublished and rarely seen photographs from the Battle of Berlin in 1945, brought together in an exclusive collection for history enthusiasts. More than 200 historical photographs take you through the final days of the Third Reich and reveal scenes rarely shown in documentaries. Since the Allied landings of June 6, 1944, the beaches of Normandy and their surrounding areas have preserved numerous remains of one of the most significant military operations of World War II. Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword were the scenes of fierce battles that left behind vehicles, fortifications, weapons, ammunition, and personal belongings. Over the decades, erosion, tides, archaeological excavations, and historical research have enabled the location of new vestiges that help reconstruct what happened on D-Day and the days that followed. ​Among the most striking finds are the remains of defenses constructed by the Germans as part of the Atlantic Wall: bunkers, artillery positions, anti-landing obstacles, and structures that remained buried beneath the sand for years. Remnants of vehicles and vessels used during the invasion have also been documented, including components of landing craft
