50+ Haunting Photos of World War II That Will Break Your Heart, Taken by James Allison

Undoubtedly, World War II was one of the deadliest wars in human history regarding causalities and destruction. Over 60 million people were killed, and 80 million and millions were wounded. The people who survived death couldn’t forget the fear and terror of war in their whole life. Thousands of books were printed about this disastrous event of human history. During WWII, James Alison, a reporter for the Huston Press, noticed that several photographs were not printed in the daily newspaper, and they were routinely discarded. He received permission to save these images, and by war’s end, he had amassed a collection of more than 4,600 photographs, which he donated to the Arkansas Museum of Science and History in 1977. Today, the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History owns and preserves these photographs.
