So brave. This tiny little girl.

Beautiful.

A rather intriguing pair of photos given Monet's reputation for the study of light and its colors; the world then who couldn't see his art in person can only see black and white images, completely nullifying the genius of his artistry.

Can't believe I've never seen this gem before

Am I the only one that finds him extremely attractive ?

I never knew what she looked like

1940: Frances Green, Margaret (Peg) Kirchner, Ann Waldner and Blanche Osborn leaving their plane, "Pistol Packin' Mama," at the four-engine school at Lockbourne AAF, Ohio, during WASP ferry training B-17 Flying Fortress.

I LOVE that chair!

The detail! I'm amazed.

"White Death " because this Finnish sniper record 505 confirmed kills. He survived a bullet in the head and lived 96 years.

Their father had abducted them from their mother and then he drowned. The mother was found and took them back in the end.

Brow goals.

Unfortunately, she never made out of the war alive. She was killed by a shell fragment in January 1945, just three months before the end of the war...

No idea what a Dik-Dik is, but it's adorable.

and the only woman, Madam Curie

Damn handsome

that was actually broadcast in colour

He looks like he just graduated high school!

Ra Ra Rasputin - Boney M

These are all beautifully done, but in this shot, I feel like the artistry of capturing the light and shadow is lost altogether. It has less impact in colour.

The guy on the left looks petrified..

I almost didn't recognize Chaplin here

How many of these people descendants are today's racists, anti-immigration and xenophobics?

the beautiful work of dorothea lange

Is his tie knitted?!

A stirring voice for freedom unless one has the misfortune of being Irish.

So, Kaiser Wilhelm II was Victoria's grand son, Nicolas II maried Victoria's grand daughter... the familly meetings must have been fun after 1914.

He just always looks so emaciated, cadaverous and frankly unwell

She was an extraordinary woman - she escaped from Auschwitz in 1942, and while she was recaptured in 1943 and brought back, she survived. It's unclear what happened to her after the war. Let's just hope she didn't die at the hands of the Soviets like many others who were rescued from Nazi camps just to end up in Soviet ones...

How can fools look at these pictures & deny the Holocaust? It's beyond me!

Now that's something we probably wouldn't see today...young boys hanging on an old veteran's every word. Or boys working at such young ages. But look at the shine on the old man's boot. The boy did a good job!

Aurevoir Shoshana!!

Some of them settled in Italy after the war, and married italian women. One of the best italian saxophonist James Senese (06-01-45), is half italian and half american, like we used to say in the past, "a war's child". james-sene...e-750.jpeg

Imagine what we could do for him now!!! I mean I know he's probably not alive anymore but ya

Greatness!!

This is a tough one to see.

Alexandra of Denmark.

I still love and miss Dr King. I sure wish he was here.

Their leader, Jake McNeice was part Choctaw, and he applied their tribes strong warrior aethetic to his men. These guys infiltrated behind enemy lines to destroy support and supply lines during the war. Very low survivor rate.

In the color one the kids are looking down... But in the original they are looking to the front. Did someone else realized?

That is Anne's Frank father and the only one from the family to have survived the Nazi camps. He is pictured here in the attic of the Secret Annex on the 3rd May 1960, the day the Anne Frank House was officially opened to the public.

The second picture looks much more impressive. Well taken picture.

Good job training your baby so early on. That kid's gonna be the real life Goku. (*Disclaimer* It's a joke, obviously)

He's got a tattoo. The wife is pretty hot too.

Captured the light gray of his eyes very well. Burgundy tie is a nice touch.

*Football.

In case you're wondering, the inscription on the shell means "The snake is smoking", which was adopted as the motto of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force along with the moniker "Cobras Fumantes" (Smoking Snakes) after a popular saying that "...it's easier for a snake to smoke a pipe than the BEF to go to war". Well, the snakes were definitely smoking in Italy that year...

Wow he was thin!

Now that's a FINE suit!

Looking a lot more alive than most of us think... are the colors of the ribbons are historically accurate?

Looks like James Franco in this picture :-)

Cunard's four screw arrangement was always better than White Star's choice of just three for the Olympic class, due to the fact a rudder is far less efficient if it moves in the wake of a propeller than if it moves in the relatively calm waters between the screws. I mean, sure, the Mauretania class had a host of other problems, like stability issues and vibration from it's turbines, but there you have it. Ironically, if the roles had been switched between the Titanic and Lusitania, each of those ships would have dealt better with the other's disaster - Titanic had transverse coal bunkers so a torpedo hit in the same place would not have set off a coal-dust explosion, and Lusitania's propulsion and steering arrangement would have made a glancing blow with the iceberg a lot less likely. It's debatable however if once hit in the same manner as Titanic, Lusitania would have fared better, because she had taller bulkheads but also longitudinal ones, meaning she listed severely as she sank.

Adolf was not pleased. He was Fuhrerious.

They look like Film stars

What an amazing skirt!

Wow, the lady in red looks stunning 😍

How terrifying to go to war with so little armor, So brave
