Today's brand new Dietz Dolls pinup artwork is another tribute in the style of Bill Randall and classic 1940s/1950s 'Greetings From' postcards with ‘Greetings from the Front’! What could be a souvenir from a soldier to back home during World War 2, showcasing somewhere in the Pacific Theater with the Sherman Tank and Willys Jeep.

New for 2026: As I rebuild the online store, I've opened a temporary one on Fine Art America with some pinups already on there. I'll be adding more in the coming months: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/vintagepinups

A Finnish Guard at the Front Line with a Submachine Gun, Metsäpirtti, 17 January 1942

In December 1941, the front lines stabilized, and the war became a positional conflict in Metsäpirtti as well. Guard duty and patrolling continued relentlessly day and night in the cold, snowy forest, testing the men constantly. In some sectors, fierce clashes still took place. A single mistake could jeopardize the front line, making constant vigilance essential. •••••••• Pohjalainen vartiomies etulinjassa konepistoolin kanssa, Metsäpirtti 17.1.1942

Joulukuussa 1941 rintamalinjat vakiintuivat, ja sota muuttui asemasodaksi myös Metsäpirtissä. Vartiointi ja partiointi jatkuivat tauotta päivin ja öin kylmässä, lumisessa metsässä, koetellen miehiä jatkuvasti. Joillakin osuuksilla käytiin yhä ankaria yhteenottoja. Yksikin virhe saattoi vaarantaa etulinjan, minkä vuoksi valppaus oli herkeämätöntä. •••••••• [ sa-kuva | 70262 | M.Persson ]

An infographic of the most iconic military machines from the Second World War (1939-45). WWII marked a decisive shift in the nature of warfare, as victory depended not only on soldiers and commanders but on the industrial capacity, technological innovation, and logistical systems of entire states. Under leaders such as Adolf Hitler (rule 1933–1945), Joseph Stalin (rule 1924–1953), Franklin D. Roosevelt (presidency 1933–1945), and Winston Churchill (prime minister 1940–1945), nations mobilized science, factories, and labor on an unprecedented scale. Military machines became extensions of national strategy, designed not merely to fight battles but to sustain long-term, global war.

World War II - Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941

Thick black smoke billows from the forward superstructure of the USS Arizona as it sinks into the waters of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The devastating Japanese attack left the battleship in ruins, claiming the lives of 1,177 crew members. The inferno rages as twisted metal and broken structures collapse into the sea, marking one of the darkest days in American history. This tragedy propelled the United States into World War II, forever changing the course of global events.
