I always enjoy these "big picture" posts that news sites put up. The Atlantic has been doing a 20 part series on World War II and their most recent one, part 16, just went up. It focuses on the Allied Invasion.

Here's the index for the full thing, parts 17-20 are still to come: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/ww2.html

Part 14, The Eastern Front, might be more to some of your liking. For example...
