It was the biggest battle in the Atlantic during World War II. If Germany had won, there would have been no D-Day. Hitler might have triumphed.
Now, for the first time, maps have been able to follow the three-day battle between Nazi U-boats and warships protecting a vital convoy to Britain. (Pictured above, a direct U-boat hit in 1942.)
For a new generation, the maps chart the ebb and flow of U-boat attacks and the horrid wartime losses as Allies desperately tried to keep their grasp on the edge of Europe.

 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY ALEJANDRO CEGARRA | | The last panda in Mexico City? Xin Xin is her name. She's 33 years old, five years from matching the record for the longest living panda in captivity. She's also the granddaughter of two pandas China gave to Mexico in 1975.
As of now, there’s no plan to replace Xin Xin (pictured above) or to maintain her legacy. These may be the final days of Mexico’s panda love affair.

 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY YOUSUF KARSH | | Farming icon: A hero, an activist, a man with a federal holiday, César Chávez (pictured above) lived the life he preached. He was influenced by the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and of Martin Luther King, Jr., who sent him a letter of encouragement during a 25-day fast to bring nonviolence back into the negotiations for better farm workers' rights.
Chávez would have been 96 today. Read more about the fight he fought and the rights he won.
