Amchitka Island

In 1971, the US Atomic Energy Commission planned to test the W71 warhead, which was to be fitted to the LIM-49 Spartan anti-ballistic missile, in what would have been the largest underground test explosion in history at the time, on a remote Alaska island. Amchitka. Its isolation made it an ideal location for weapons testing, but as a volcanic island that is tectonically unstable, environmental activists worried that the tests could trigger earthquakes and tsunamis.

After Athens was captured by the German 2nd Panzer Division, he raised the Nazi German flag over the Acropolis as a sign of victory. This flag, symbolizing the occupation of Greece, would be taken down a month later in one of the first acts of Greek resistance.

Before anyone ever heard the word "cowgirl," there were women who headed west. Most traveled with their families on covered wagons as early as the 1840s.

Bombs were detonated within a few hours on July 20, 1982, and it was time for maximum casualties. Military casualties were quickly remedied. But the lens of the long-range camera captured terrifying detail, with the crumpled remains of a car bomb surrounded by dead horses.

During World War II, the US military was required to train hundreds of thousands of civilians and various training methods were born with the aim of preparing soldiers for the battlefield as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Posters, comics, training movies and even cartoons were used to help train new soldiers. One of the most interesting and effective practical training educational tools was the use of giant simulated weapons as a way to help the soldier better understand the parts and mechanics of a weapon.

The construction of the Berlin Wall in August 1961 divided families and neighborhoods in Germany's capital. The Wall represents a uniquely brutal, violent, and ultimately pointless, episode in the post-war world. Life changed overnight in Berlin.

Roads, metro lines, bus lines, tramlines, canals and rivers were divided. Family members, friends, lovers, classmates, work colleagues and others suddenly parted ways. In some cases, children who went to visit their grandparents on the other side of the border were suddenly cut off from their parents.

The story of the Berlin Wall began in the early hours of August 13, 1961, when the government of East Germany ordered the closure of all borders between East and West Berlin. As the sun rose that morning, Berliners were woken up by the sound of trucks, jackhammers and other heavy machinery.

Seen by Soviet soldiers and East German police, workers began tearing down roads, sidewalks and other structures, before laying thousands of meters of temporary but impassable fences, barricades and barbed wire.
