Between 1939 and 1945, the world was divided in the greatest war ever seen on Earth. Casualties climbed into the millions while cities were bombed out of recognition. Rare color photographs have started to emerge from World War II, and now you can see them yourself. World War II has never looked more real than this.

Pearl Harbor

On December 7th, 1941, Japanese bomber planes attacked the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor. The surprise attack caught the Americans off-guard, as they didn’t suspect an attack while holding an isolationist stance during the first years of the war. The attack would ultimately drag the United States into the war.
