Of all the nominations, I found myself constantly surprised and amused by this esoteric collection of Found Objects and posts based on primary source material:

Penny L. Richards presents The hunchback boy in the Annual Report, 1912 posted at Disability Studies. Sharon presents Theatrum Mortis posted at Giornale Nuovo. Natalie Bennett presents Early Modern Advertising Again (or how not to write a Girls School Prospectus) posted at Roy Booth.

I never even noticed one, but after Jonathan Dresner nominated Didn’t you ever wonder about those tombstones shaped like trees? posted at 100 Word Minimum, I saw my first one at a graveyard in North Adams, Massachusetts.
Ahistoricality presents Old Money posted at Done With Mirrors. Sharon presents Early modern elephants posted at Ramage. Derek Andrews presents The Abbot’s Chair posted at The ToolRest. Natalie Bennett presents The last will and testament of Dame Helen Branch (1593) posted at Natalie Bennet. Nouri Lumendifi presents El-Arz posted at The Moor Next Door. Eugene Plawiuk presents Rebel Yell posted at LE REVUE GAUCHE - Left Analysis And Comment. S.J. Redman presents U-505 Featured on History Channel posted at Museum Madness. Natalie Bennett presents Evening VIII. On the Fallaciousness of History posted at Winter Evenings.

And while there are many more nominations (see the whole list here) I will leave you with two posts on World War II era topics, Jonathan Wilson nominated The “Hindsight” Theory of the Japanese American Internment Takes (Yet) Another Hit. posted at Is That Legal? and Stalin’s Ethnic Cleansing of the Crimean Tatars: 18 May 1944 posted at Otto’s Random Thoughts.
