3 old photos that subvert imaginations. The German army hugged a Japanese geisha, and the US military used American deserters as targets.
01. In May 1945, after Marshal Zhukov led 2.6 million Soviet troops to defeat the million German troops defending Berlin, the lucky man Stand in front of the Reichstag and tell the world: Berlin was captured by the Soviets and was captured by the non-Allied forces . The classic weapon of the Soviet army is the "Bobosha" submachine gun. What models of submachine guns are the two people on the left and the second on the right holding? The Reichstag was built after the defeat of France in the 1871 German-French War. It was also a symbol of German power. Although Hitler committed suicide in the Chancellery on April 30, 1945, the German army still held on to the Reichstag until May 1945. The defending German troops surrendered on the 2nd. There has always been a question, Why did the Soviet army choose to attack the worthless German Reichstag building instead of directly attacking the Chancellery and the Fรผhrer's bunker to capture Hitler alive?
02. [The U.S. military uses American deserters as targets] The American deserter tied to the pillar is one of the 50,000 deserters in the U.S. military. His name is Eddie Slovik. He is 24 years old and belongs to the 109th Infantry Division of the 28th. Company G of the Infantry Regiment refused to go to the front line and fled during the Battle of the Ardennes. On January 31, 1945, he was shot dead by 11 US troops with M-1 Garand semi-automatic rifles. Eddie Slovik was not killed in the first round and was not completely killed until the second round.
Eddie Slovik started stealing copper wire when he was 12 years old and drove drunk. At the age of 20, he was directly sentenced to death by the court. At that time, the U.S. 28th Infantry Division was about to be wiped out by the Germans. In urgent need of additional troops, Eddie Slovik came to France to join the war. In September 1944, Eddie Slovik escaped once, and six weeks later, on October 7, 1944, he was returned to the American barracks by the Canadian Army. On October 9, because he did not dare to serve in the frontline rifle company, he fled again. He was soon arrested and shot directly. In this way, the only "complete deserter" in the United States World War II was executed at the age of 24.
03. This is the legendary German intelligence officer: Reinhard Galen. He was dismissed by Hitler for often providing pessimistic intelligence to Hitler in the early days of World War II. It was not until 1942 that he went to the Eastern Front to collect intelligence in the Soviet Union. After he surrendered to the U.S. military in 1945, he was arranged by the U.S. military to continue his espionage work in West Germany. He lived in a large villa with a US$250,000 provided by the U.S. military and lived freely until 1979, at the age of 77. His good attitude is inseparable from the calligraphy and painting that follows. These words are from the "Tao Te Ching" written by Laozi . Reinhard Gehlen was like this throughout his life. He rarely appeared in public and left very few photos.
04. In the autumn of 1939, after the Soviet Union and Poland joined forces, the German army handed out cigarettes to the Soviet army with a very contemptuous attitude. Did the German infantry intentionally humiliate the Soviet tank soldiers? Two years later, the two became "dead enemies" again.
05. In the 1940s, the Royal Navy fed pets differently. It is said that this kind of pet does not exist in the UK and was smuggled there by poachers from Asia. No wonder they treat it with such high "etiquette".
06. In June 1940, at the port of Dunkirk in northwest France, the British and French allied forces were queuing up to board the ship and leave. Looking at the unhurried appearance of the allied forces, it didn't look like they were escaping for their lives, but they looked like they were going on vacation in the UK. After the German commander Rundstedt in this battle was captured by the US military in 1945, the US military sent "flowers to Buddha" as gifts to the British army. The Rundstedt family is an old aristocratic military family in Germany with a military career of 850 years.
07. On December 20, 1940, in order to relieve mental stress, the British army had many costume-changing programs. Once they encountered a German air raid, they would directly wear skirts and go to the battlefield.
08. In May 1945, a female German logistics soldier was captured by the British army. Her name was Luckmann, and she was a female telegraph operator for the German army. Although the German army had fled in all directions, she still went to work wearing high heels and nylon stockings , which was incredible. Has the previous "mustache" on the wall been replaced by Dรถnitz?
09. In 1943, a Soviet female soldier was captured by the German army.The female soldier on the left is wearing a watch. She must be a female officer who is powerful and unyielding. The one on the right looks like she has given in due to her hairstyle and demeanor. After taking the photo, most of them will be ravaged and then shot by the Germans.
10. In 1944, the German soldiers captured by the Soviet army just counted 9,437 German soldiers in this photo alone. How many kilograms of Siberian potatoes did nearly tens of thousands of German troops eat in a day?
11. In 1941, a German pilot shot down by the British during the Battle of Britain . This German soldier held the British soldier's cigarette and drank the British soldier's water. Is this treatment really a prisoner? No wonder Marshal Gรถring failed to bomb Britain because many German pilots saw that the situation was not good and consciously parachuted and surrendered.
12. In 1979, at the 30th anniversary celebration of East Germany, the smoke billowing out was the T-55 tank or the T-64 Main battle tank? Compared with the US military's M60 main battle tank , who is rougher and thicker?

On the "Leopard" 2A4 tank next to it was German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. , at that time, Merkel and were just a small follower of Kohl. The "Leopard" 2A4 tank weighs 55 tons, which is only 7 tons lighter than the "Challenger" 1 tank, but the cost is one-tenth lower than the "Challenger" 1 tank.
14. In 1989, on the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the East German boyfriend and the West German girlfriend left the best memories under the wall. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961. Neither of the lovers were born at that time. How they fell in love across the Berlin Wall is unknown.
15. For Japanese geishas in the 1900s, wearing kimonos was extremely cumbersome and required help from others when wearing them. At that time, the requirements for geisha were relatively high. Geishas needed at least five years of arduous learning to play, play and sing. Even every detail of daily life, such as sitting, standing, walking, pouring wine and tea, was carefully considered. In the Japanese concept, it is a great thing for a girl to become a qualified geisha, because the income is also at the white-collar level.
16. In the reception room on the first floor of Tianjin Jingyuan on December 6, 1930, Puyi was wearing a Japanese military uniform, and Wanrong was wearing a kimono to show his goodwill to the Japanese Kwantung Army. "Jingyuan" was originally the house of Emperor Lu Zongyu. It was called "Qianyuan" and was later renamed "Jingyuan" by the elders of the Qing Dynasty. It meant that we could quietly observe the outside world and actively show our goodwill to the Kwantung Army. Hence the photo above. In 1932, with the support of the Kwantung Army, Puyi ascended the throne for the third time in "Xinjing" and served as a puppet on strings for 13 years.
17. Around 1935, in Northeast China after the occupation, the Japanese army opened a "Guest Rest House" in Heilongjiang. Except for a few Japanese comfort women wearing kimonos, most of them were women from the occupied areas. When the Japanese army evacuated, they brutally killed him. Later, people found many "cosmetics" and "safety products" in the ruins. These are the evidence of guilt left by the Japanese army!
18. In the 1940s, the Japanese Kwantung Army was in a state of intoxication. The Japanese Kwantung Army was established in 1919. At its peak, it reached an army of 1.2 million and was known as the "Flower of the Japanese Army". Starting from 1943, in order to restore the decline of the Pacific battlefield, these "elite divisions" were transported to the Pacific islands to fight, and eventually became cannon fodder of the US military. The remaining 700,000 Kwantung Army was later defeated by 1.5 million Soviet troops.
19. In 1942, when the German army attacked Moscow, Eugen Ott, the German ambassador to Japan, heard the good news and hugged Japanese geisha to cheer for the German army on the Eastern Front. There is not much information about Eugen Ott. He was born in a German aristocratic family in 1890. His leader, Ribbentrop, was hanged in 1946, but Eugen Ott lived until 1966. Year.
20. In Tokyo in 1946, the U.S. military and Japanese geishas sang and danced. At this time, the geishas did not have the skills in Figure 15. They were all fake, just to earn more foreign exchange and dream of marrying the U.S. military.
21. In Busan, South Korea in the 1950s, there was still a gap between the US military's treatment of Korean men and women. At that time, Korean women had not yet had plastic surgery, and their appearance was also very worrying.
22. In 1965, during the Vietnam War, the US military forced Vietnam women and children to squat in a pile of cacti to prevent them from running around. The American soldier was holding an M14 light machine gun, with a war-weary expression on his face. He was probably a poor man who was selected to serve in the military in Vietnam.
23. If you do too much injustice, you will die. This is the best answer for the US military. The picture above was taken on May 27, 2007. Mary Michael cries at the grave of her American fiancรฉ James Reagan. James Reagan died in a bombing during the Iraq War . He went to another country to kill someone else's husband, so he deserves no sympathy at all!
