WWII American truck in a small scrapyard next to a main road on the Cotentin Peninsula, Normandy seen in 2001 - IIRC this one did not have the usual French language plates in the cab indicating post war use, so may well be a relic of the conflict in the area. The yard also contained parts from many other military vehicles, including the remains of a VW based German vehicle! On my last visit a couple of years ago, the site had been mostly cleared.

WWII Japanese propaganda depicting a single engine aircraft emerging from the direction of the Rising Sun. A globe is depicted as well with what appears to be a travel route for aircraft from Japan to other regions of Asia. Will need a translation of the image for positive identification. Very creative design.
