Can we have an interesting historical photograph thread?
I will start with a bunch of photos from the fall of the Soviet Union

A picture of the bust of Lenin at the Pole of Inaccessibility in Antarctica. The Soviets built a small metal cabin at the Pole, which is geographically the most difficult place to access in Antarctica, as it is farthest from any coast. The cabin was buried under snow after decades of snowdrift. All that's left is the small tower with Lenin atop

Couple of questions.
1. Is that man missing his left foot?
2. Why are they pulling him out of the tank?
>>584565
I think that stump is actually a gun of some sort, there seems to be a turret behind the pilot
>>584565
1. That's not his leg. That's the turret of the APC, covered with a canvas tarp.
2. Dunno, but this looks like it might've been taken during some civil disturbance, so perhaps they're pulling him out for some ill purpose.

Taken 4 years before the outbreak of war, at least 3 of them were blood relatives. Good one indeed.

>>584840
Can we really dub those on the opposite side of the globe as "in the picture"?
>>584873
>unwoah for a moment
wait.... fuck....
>>584873
Well yes technically you can, you could argue that since matter cannot be created or destroyed, even people who weren't born yet are in the picture seeing how the matter that became them is still on Earth when that picture was taken.
>>584907
>rewoah
>>584820
Yes. Yes. Thank you.
>>584967
Indeed.
>>584984

So wait, this was actually like, a mass phenomenon in Germany?
Why?
>>586652
The Berlin zoo got a polar bear in the 30s he became a popular mascot, soon after knockoff mascots came outta the woodwork to essentially panhandle for photo op money.

>you could argue that since matter cannot be created or destroyed
>matter cannot be created or destroyed
>created or destroyed
what a fucking retarded argument
>>584717
looks like an effigy to be burnt
>>587291
You can convert matter into energy and vice versa, but that's not creation or destruction.
>>587998
Sort of... You can convert _mass_ into energy and visa versa, not matter really though. It retains its basic properties on some level, so it isn't truly a conversion.

I want a movie of this dude directed by Werner Herzog

Why would a tank crew wear armour?
Rally held by the British Union of Fascists at Olympia Exhibition centre in london, June 7th 1934, despite an attendance of over 12,000 the popularity of the party began to seriously decline shortly after

Damn, that guy on the left... He was too cool to die.
>>590232
A supporter of the British Union of Fascists, advertising the party newspaper 'Action', the party had a surprisingly disproportionate amount of support from working and middle class women due to their continued support for the new norm of women int he workplace. Mary Richardson of the radical suffrage movement the 'Women's Social and Political Union' went on to be head of the Women's section of the part, whilst feminist and radical suffragette Norah Elam also reached high rank in the party

Because they didn't. Early tanks were already difficult to survive in; if you wore something like that in a tank, you'd sweat yourself dry in minutes.
>>584616
I did some digging concerning this picture, found multiple explanations. Some say it's an American wearing captured German armor, which I don't buy because it bears no resemblance to the infanterie-panzer. I find the claim that it's a French design more compelling. Regardless, that is not armor for tank crews.
>>590270
Herp derp. I jumped the gun. It's actually British EOB armor.
>>585019
I could bet this is a film still or a photo by Gabriel Figueroa
>>586217
What is this?
Sorry but I'am on the cellphone
>>590322
Poor kid, I can't imagine how terrible that must have felt. You know that evil won and you know how many good men died trying to defeat evil.
Feels really bad, man.
>>590263
FDR confirmed fascist
>>590355
Don't feel bad for him.
He should have fought to the death like the fuhrer wanted. He is a coward and traitor.
>>586629
Please make a thead of the bear.
