In September of 1962, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson received a tour of the Cape Canaveral Missile Test Annex. This photo is extremely rare as it was very unlikely to have seen a photo of the President and Vice President in the same room. One thing we know, the two did not get along together, and taking a photo of the two was not something that was done, by the way.
President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon Johnson are surrounded by other members of the government who are not shy to express their concern and apprehension, knowing what must have gone through those two heads.
The Real Anastasia
One of history's greatest mysteries is the unsolved disappearance of Anastasia Romanov, Tsar Nicholas II's daughter. Tsar Nicolas was related to the British Royal Family by being King George V's first cousin. During the revolution of 1917, Nicholas's life was taken along with his entire royal family, but since his daughter went missing, there were rumors that she had survived and vanished.
In this rare photo, Tsar Nicholas is seen with his beloved daughter as she playfully holds a cigarette to her mouth. It is believed that this photo was taken just days before the devastating execution of the entire Romanov family. Years later, it was confirmed that the remains found were indeed Anastasia and that she had lost her life brutely, too.
Mannequin Bomb Testers
The Mannequin Bomb Testers were created in the 50s of the 20th century. They were initially built in Nevada and were intended to test how people would react after a nuclear attack. Houses were constructed, cars were built, and a completely imaginary town came to life. Various shelters were built behind or beneath each house to see how efficient each one was.
Even the residents wore different kinds of material in their clothing so the effect of the attack could later be tested and compared. In this photo, we can see the result of one of the houses after an attack. No one could stay oblivious to the destructive results left after such an experiment.
The Fuhrer’s Chancellery
It is clear when this photo was taken; however, you'll be surprised that these are not German soldiers. This snapshot was taken in 1945, literally moments after the Allied forces barged and took the first steps in what would soon be the end of World War II. In this photo, there are soldiers standing in front of the Fuhrer’s Reich Chancellery in Berlin.
In a few innocent moments of comforting joy, the soldiers mocked and imitated the former German leader. This photograph says so much with so few words about one of the most difficult times in the past century.
Americans Leaving Vietnam
The Vietnam War is one of the harshest and most significant parts of History, being a turning point to many events that took place later on in time. Overall, the 1970s brought many noticeable moments that went down in history, and the departure of American troops from the Vietnamese land is without no doubt one of them. The vision of US soldiers leaving the war zone was one of the most heart-wrenching moments ever documented.
In the last days of the war, the remaining soldiers tried to do everything in their power to escape. At the time, clinging onto a chopper was the most logical thing to do, as this was a guaranteed ticket back home. Many soldiers, unfortunately, were shoved down and lost any chance of getting on it.
