This is very much doable. I did it on a lot of Google map image tiles to join those and form a poster size image. There is a package for Unix called JPEG Tools for doing exactly this.
The program is called jpegjoin . Pure C source, with Windows binaries available. When compiled it creates a command line application which when run joins two jpeg images loselessly among many other things.
It does NOT de-compress any image, just merges the compressed data together and fixes the header accordingly. I used it to merge 100 images to create 50 strips and then merged those strips again to create a large image.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
