As the car rolled closer, they heard children crying. Inside the car had been a family. Mother, father, and 4 children trying to get home before the curfew. They hadn't seen the camouflaged soldiers, so they sped up when they heard the warning shots, a natural reaction to gunshots in an area where skirmishes can and do break out any time. The children hadn't been hit, but their parents were almost unrecognizable. Afterwards the soldiers went back to base to play nintendo

When he reached St. Petersburg in 1905, Rasputin began to make himself known as a healer. He kept office hours of 10am to 1pm every day, during which anyone could call upon him for services. Rasputin's growing fame eventually allowed him visits to the Alexander Palace, where he assisted the very wealthy and powerful.

Rasputin was first called upon to assist the royal family in 1907. Their son was indeed a hemophiliac and, although they wanted it kept quiet, they needed someone who could help. Rasputin was called in and successfully stopped the bleeding, telling the royal family that their own destiny was deeply linked to himself.

Now there is no question that the ancient Greeks ran relay races using flames, but this was not done as an integral ceremonial opening part of the ancient games; instead it was done in regards to religious beliefs and their Gods. What's more, though a flame was present in 1928 and 1932, at Amsterdam and Los Angeles respectively, there was no relay involving such flames. This would be a Nazi creation - a new tradition that has carried on to this day.
Dr. Joseph Goebbels and the Nazi Propaganda Ministry supported the idea of an Olympic flame torch relay in large part for the visual impact it would have as part of a huge public relations and political campaign to project a positive image of Nazi Germany to the world. And, so it was; from the torch's lighting in Greece, where a German ambassador dedicated the torch to Hitler himself, while a band played the marching song of the Sturmabteilung; through its path across Europe - including through the Sudetenland which Hitler coveted for annexation; to the final legs of the torch's journey.

Russian officers in the Reichstag

Perhaps as a side-effect of this law linking death with sexual maturity, the arrival of the enemy at the edge of the city made young soldiers desperate to lose their virginity. Girls,well aware of the high risk of rape, preferred to give themselves to almost any German boy first than to a drunken and probably violent Soviet soldier. In the broadcasting centre of the Grossdeutscher Rundfunk on the Masurenallee, two-thirds of the 500-strong staff were young women - many little more than eighteen. There, in the last week of April, a 'real feeling of disintegration' spread, with heavy drinking and indiscriminate copulation amid the stacks of the sound archive. There was also a good deal of sexual activity between people of various ages in unlit cellars and bunkers. The aphrodisiac effect of mortal danger is hardly an unknown historical phenomenon.

You're retarded.
The AK 47 was just beginning to be designed 70 years after billy the kids death.
Furthermore, tanks weren't used in combat until 35 years after his death.

Don't just make up a back story if you're not even going to look at the clues in the fucking picture. Its obvious that's not billy the kid, and its obvious for reasons beyond the fact that the man looks nothing like billy the kid

In April 1904, The New York Times moved its operations to the newly constructed Times Building—then the second tallest building in the city—on 42nd Street at Longacre Square. Times publisher Adolph S. Ochs convinced Mayor George McClellan to build a subway station there and rename the area for his newspaper. (Three weeks later, as if carrying out some bit of genetic code, the first electrified ad appeared on the side of a bank at 46th Street and Broadway.)

On December 31 of that year, Ochs began the tradition of celebrating New Year’s Eve at Times Square. And three years later, the famous Times Square Ball drop from the roof of the Times Building, known simply today as One Times Square, was added to the annual jamboree. Here’s a picture of what Times Square looked like way back then

During the colonial and revolutionary eras in American history, inland travel was slow, difficult, and expensive. The "King's Highways" established by Pennsylvania's colonial governments followed and improved ancient Indian paths, but hardly allowed for freight wagons or anything beyond single-file trains of pack-horses. Inhabitants of the colony were required, by a law passed in 1683, to work on the construction of roads and bridges or pay a fee, but maintenance of the "King's Highways" was sporadic.
Three types of new roads appeared during what historians now call the "turnpike era." The first and most durable roads of crushed stone proved to be the best suited for the often harsh weather of the eastern United States. Opened in 1794, the marker Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike was the first extended example of these new paved roads. It was also the nation's first major toll road. Stretching more than sixty miles between two communities, the pike became a major artery for commercial travel within the Commonwealth and a gateway for travel westward.

Six white horses are hitched to a covered wagon with an advertising sign hanging from it.

Pennsylvania Conestoga Wagon, circa 1890.
The builders of the Philadelphia and Lancaster pike borrowed from the ideas of English engineers Thomas Telford and John McAdam, rivals who had helped devise the modern system of road paving. Telford's principles required using a base of large cobblestones topped with multiple layers of different-sized crushed stones. The Philadelphia and Lancaster pike followed this formula. McAdam (whose name inspired the terms "macadam" and "tarmac") disagreed with Telford over the most efficient sizes of crushed stone, but his belief in raising the center of the road to promote drainage was an innovation that the builders of this great early Pennsylvania turnpike also embraced.

When Campbell opened the locker he found not a small fire, but an out-of-control blaze. Night watchman Arthur Pender had followed Campbell, and after seeing the fire quickly began trying to get other crew members to help extinguish it. Minutes later, unaware of what was happening in the Writing Room, another night the watchman was entering the wheelhouse and pointing out to the officer on duty Clarence Hackney that there was smoke pouring out of one of the ship's ventilators. While examining the smoke, Captain Warms entered the wheelhouse and told Hackney to investigate. In the lower decks of the ship, crew members and a few passengers already knew what Warms had just begun to understand: the SS Morro Castle was on fire.
The situation was hopeless from the moment it was discovered. Within 15 minutes, the ship was engulfed in flames with many people only being alerted by screams of panic. The crew was not trained to handle a fire and, seeing no other option, passengers jumped overboard leaving their fates to the violently thrashing ocean.
An SOS was not sent out until 3:25 am due to radio operator George White Rogers refusing to send a call without the official order from Warms, and it was nearly 4 am before nearby ships got to the smoldering wreck. What greeted the rescuers was an ocean of people both living and dead, and a glowing ship with some of the crew still aboard.It was 7:34 pm on September 8 when the Morro Castle finally came to rest, beaching itself 200 feet off of Asbury Park, perfectly adjacent to Convention Hall. The ship became a magnet for people who wanted to see the doomed vessel and while bodies were still washing up along the New Jersey coast, signs were being posted and admission being collected to come see the wrecked Morro Castle.
The ship would remain there until the following March, when it finally was hauled away for scrap, leaving behind the memory of the disaster and the 137 lives that were lost on their vacation of a lifetime.

Very interesting thread. The 'German' soldier appears to be Finnish. I'm 90% sure that he is carrying a Suomi KP-31 (I have one on the workbench right now, and there's a lot of similarities). If I'm right (and assuming the Russian has a PPS-43), this would date it to the Continuation War along the Finnish/Russian frontier. Alternatively, the Finns could be members of the SS volunteer battalion, which was active from 1941-1943.

Most likely Staged.

The people of the Claddagh lived quite separately from the City of Galway and retained their Gaelic customs, language

The battlefield conditions were well beyond the expectation of all Canadians. On the western front, it was a stalemate between the Allies and the German-Austrian armies. Each side had established a network of trenches and the distance between the trenches was known as ‘no-man’s-land.’ Passage through ‘no-man’s-land’ was impeded by water filled bomb craters, mines and fields of barbed wire.

Eureka has to be one among the early mining towns to almost disappear without a trace. Once the possessor of a main street that boasted "the finest saloons anywhere", the main street is no more. The town got is start in 1860 when a small group of miners began to dig and pan around the banks of the Animas River south of the mining town of Animas Forks. Eureka never became a boomtown. Rather, it grew slowly but steadily with train service coming to the town in 1896. To escape the danger of avalanches which were common in the area, the town was situated midway between the slopes of two mountainsides at a turn of the Animas River. The Sunnyside mill was the main economic source for the town. When the mill closed in 1938, Eureka was no more. What are left are foundations that climb the mountainside as reminders of the town that was
