Hidden in deep woods, the compound of about 200 Nazi bunkers and military barracks was the site of the failed assassination attempt on Hitler by Colonel Claus Stauffenberg on ...

Three paintings by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens have been permitted to remain at the Courtauld Gallery in London, after the UK’s Spoliation Advisory Panel rejected a claim from the Koenigs family. ‘St Gregory the Great with Ss Maurus and Papianus and St. Domitilla with Ss Nereus and Achilleus’, ‘The Conversion of St. Paul’ and ‘The Bounty of James 1 Triumphing Over Avarice’ were all painted by Rubens between 1606 and 1632, the period in which some of his most respected works were created.

More than 10,000 residents were evacuated to ensure their safety as a military convoy transported the unexploded bomb through a densely populated residential area to a ferry slipway, from which it was taken out to sea. “I think it is fair to say that the last few days ...

On 6 June, 1944, 150,000 men landed in just a few hours on the beaches of Omaha, Juno or Gold Beach in Normandy, France. They arrived as part of Operation Overlord, which marked the beginning of the liberation of Europe from the Nazi yoke. 10,000 men did not make it.
