This picture was taken in 1945 just in time when this American soldier was happily replacing the sign which says, “Adolf-Hitler-Str.” from Germany’s street. The war clearly has ended and this image captured a moment in history that brought smiles to everyone.
The soldier dutifully replaced Hitler’s street sign in Berlin with that of “Roosevelt Blvd” to further commemorate the role America played in helping free the world from Hitler’s wrath.
The Graf Zeppelin
It was 1928 when the German commercial airship L7 127 named the Graf Zeppelin flew over Washington DC. At that time, such an aircraft was yet to be in the skies of the United States. The sight of the Zeppelin over Washington DC was reportedly frightening.
The Airship L7 127 was specially designed to be manned by thirty-six people. This hydrogen-filled aircraft was eventually captured by the Soviets during the Second World War and sunk deep into the ocean.
Star Wars Lunch
Just when you think you’ve seen everything, this picture reminds you that there is more of life to see. Star Wars fans would have a field day upon looking at this picture of what lies inside R2D2. Clearly, the robot is more than just a set of wires and switches.
The actor who played R2D2, Kenny Baker, probably didn’t know the popularity his character would bring while they were making the movie. Here he is eating a sandwich during lunch hour because R2D2 needs food too. Baker passed away at the age of 81 in August 2016.
Johnny Cash in Prison
Legendary singer Johnny Cash was not put in prison, but he did perform for people incarcerated in Folsom Prison. His legendary performance was recorded and turned into an album that eventually became a massive hit.
His Folsom Prison album was released in May 1968. However, due to its appeal, it was released two times with similar success. Cash has sold 90 million records all over the world and is considered one of the best-selling music artists.
Family Photo on the Moon
It is unclear why astronaut Charlie Duke would leave a photo of his family on the moon.
Whatever his intentions are, it was the Apollo 16 mission that allowed him to leave his family picture on the moon. Now, Duke is 81 years old and is leading a peaceful life. He has collected more than 4,000 flying hours and 256 hours in space.
