Below are some websites I found that may, or may not, be helpful to you. They will not have every event on Mrs. Champion’s assignment, but they may have the one you are researching.
Photos of World War II from the National Archives
Don’t overlook the obvious pathway to finding a website by typing your event into Google. Then you must take the time to evaluate whether you have found a good website. Ask yourself if it is reliable, unbiased, informative and accurate. Is the author an expert on this subject? (yes to all of these means good). Are there ads or errors, or is it trying to sway your opinion? (yes means bad) You may need to look at more than one to compare the quality of the information you find.
And one more option… follow this link to the Yahoo Directory of websites about WWII. Other folks find websites and add ones they judge to be good to the list. Is there something there for you?
