Chronology and overview of World War II
chronology
WWII in Europe timeline
Comprehensive timeline showing the chronology of WWII in Europe.  Links to useful photographic material.
World War II timeline
A marvellous complete timeline of the war, split into specific sections.  Covers every day of the conflict from 1939 to 1945.  An indispensable resource of great use!
The World at War
Detailed chronological information concerning all aspects of World War II.  At the time of writing the site has a few problems with loading which do prevent the best use of the material.  Worth persevering with though.
WWII - a brief history
An excellent site to use for a brief overview of the conflict.  A detailed chronology, together with accounts of the causes and events of the war.  A useful glossary adds even more! 
WWII timeline
Another useful resource that allows users to navigate by date or major event.  A hierarchical structure that links to further detail from initial brief information.
summary
World War II
Detailed outline of World War II from the online Encylopaedia Britannica.  Serves as a great summary, with links to additional detail if required.
Summary of World War II
Outline of the major events of the Second World War, accompanied by images illustrating these events.  Quite text heavy, but a very useful overview.
