Never before seen color photos of Hitler’s posh crib
In these rarely seen color photos of Hitler’s office in Berlin, his apartment in Berlin and his Bavarian retreat, the Fuhrer had some expensive tastes. Not that you would expect anything less from someone who murdered millions to try and rule all of Europe.

Awesome movie trailer of the day: FDR American Badass
Hoooly shit. This movie has everything I’ve ever dreamed of in a WWII movie, namely FDR defeating Nazi werewolves in his mechanized machine gun wheelchair just in time to get to a French titty bar. HOLY SHIT GOBLINS this is so badass.

Yes, this airplane engine has a cannon mounted on it
In the early days of military airplanes, attacks were limited to dropping bricks or shooting pistols out of the cockpit, since you couldn’t exactly risk tearing up your propellors by mounting guns in their way. But as a solution, this 11.8-liter WWI-era Hispano-Suiza engine has a 37mm cannon mounted directly between its cylinder banks.

Disney propaganda from WWII: “Food Will Win the War”
During World War II, Disney helped to paid the bills and keep the lights on by doing a whole lot of animated PSAs and propaganda for the US government. While I’ve seen quite a few of them, this one is new to me.

Whether you’re in a state with a large Jewish population or not, naming your roller coster “Zyklon” is in pretty poor taste
A roller coaster at this year’s Broward County Fair in Florida is managing to piss a whole lot of people off. Because if you’re going to name your roller coaster something you think sounds cool, giving it a name similar to poison gas that was used to exterminate hundreds of thousands of Jews during WWII probably isn’t the smartest idea.

The Argentine home where some people think Hitler died is now for sale
The official record of events is that Hitler blew his brains out in his bunker rather than get captured by Allied forces. But the unofficial, conspiratorial version of events is that Hitler survived WWII, was sneaked out of Europe and retired peacefully and in secret in a home in Argentina. And now the possible last residence of Hitler could be yours.

During WWII, Britain sorta kinda considered building massive aircraft carriers out of ice
During WWII, with the very real possibility of a steel shortage, British inventor Geoffrey Pyke proposed something so crazy it might have worked— build aircraft carriers out of ice. Or more specifically, “Pykrete”, a combination of ice and sawdust.

During WWII, the Allies had a secret plan to turn Hitler into a lady. A damn sexy lady.
In the fog of war, opposing sides come up with all sorts of strange and interesting plans to try and gain an advantage over the other. And for the Allies, one of those plans involved slipping estrogen into Hitler’s food over a long enough period of time to change his mood, and as an added bonus.. if it gave him boobies, that would have been hilarious as well.

Cyborg FDR in FDR: Battle for America looks like it would be the most awesome movie ever, trumping every movie ever made up to that point
I want so much for this to happen on the big screen, but for right now, it’s just from the imagination of DeviantArtist Jason Heuser.

Gandhi’s letter to Hitler
In this letter from Mohondas Gandhi to Adolph Hitler, Gandhi urges Hitler to not make war that could take civilization back to a “savage state”. Apparently, Gandhi and Hitler corresponded a number of times, though that number is unknown, as is their exact relationship.

Hey look, Hitler made you a birthday card
Well not you specifically. This hand-painted birthday card, made by Der Fuhrer himself was made for the wife of Herman Esser, one of Hitler’s good buddies. Very tasteful.

Awesome short film of the day: “Porcelain Unicorn”
Last year Philips ran a contest called Parallel Lines in which they asked people to create a three-minute short film using only six lines of dialogue: “What is that?”, “It’s a unicorn”, “Never seen one up close before”, “Beautiful”, “Get away, get away”, and “I’m sorry”. After more than 600 entries were submitted, director Ridley Scott selected the above film, titled “Porcelain Unicorn”, as the winner.
You can see all the entries here.
