Justin Bieber thinks Anne Frank would have been a Belieber
While touring Europe, Justin Bieber stopped at the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, and when he signed the visitor’s book, he mentioned that he thinks Anne Frank would have been a big Bieber fan, that is, if she weren’t blind and deaf.

One of Hitler’s private toilets has been hiding out in New Jersey for decades
According to Kohfeldt, the toilet came off of Hitler’s biggest private yacht, the Aviso Grille, which was between 400 and 500 feet long, and at the time one of the biggest private boats in existence. “He wanted to ride it down the Thames in London and go live in Windsor Palace when he invaded,” Kohfeldt told me on a subzero morning last week as he pulled a sink—also from the ship, and now in pieces—out of a box and laid them out for me to examine each of the maker’s stamps and faucets. Another resident of Florence, Dick Glass—an expert on Hitler’s yacht—told me that the ship was armed, had a crew of 245 men, a private room for Eva Braun, and was bigger than J.P. Morgan’s ship Corsair. The Aviso Grille also played a significant role in one particular moment in history: Hitler’s Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz stood on the deck of the ship on May 1, 1945, and gave the first word of the Führer’s death and took command of Germany.
After the war ended, the Aviso Grille was taken to the United States and ended up in the hands of New Jersey shipyard owner Harry Doan, who illegally charged visitors 25 cents to board and tour Hitler’s Yacht. However, according to Glass, both Doan and the federal government wanted to prevent the ship from becoming a memorial to Hitler, and so it was scrapped in Doan’s salvage yard in the early 1950s.

Astonishing vintage film of five men standing right under an aerial atomic test
On July 19, 1957, five men stood at Ground Zero of an atomic test that was being conducted at the Nevada Test Site. This was the test of a 2KT (kiloton) MB-1 nuclear air-to-air rocket launched from an F-89 Scorpion interceptor. The nuclear missile detonated 10,000 ft above their heads.

In 1946, the US government set off two atomic bombs at the Bikini Atoll to see what would happen to the wildlife. (Spoiler: Turns out atomic blasts aren’t really so good for wildlife.)

Things That Exist: 60’s-era Israeli Nazi pulp comic pornography
Rule 34 doesn’t even come close to this. In the 1960s, as many Israelis and Jews around the world were beginning to come to grips with the atrocities of the Holocaust, one of the ways some dealt with the trauma was through pulp pornographic Nazi-themed comic books called Stalags. These comics were never on full display, but nonetheless, they became best sellers throughout Israel.

Take a minute or two to honor D-Day
It’s the anniversary of D-Day. Take a minute. I’ll probably be watching The Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan, or some Band of Brothers.
Anyone else have some D-Day rituals?

Photos of what Hitler might have looked like in disguise in the 1940s
The following pictures, released by the U.S. National Archives in Washington, show head shots of Adolf Hitler in numerous guises. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) had asked Eddie Senz, a New York make-up artist, to clone the portrait of the German leader after D-Day on 6 June 1944 because they feared that Hitler might be able to escape Germany in disguise. And yes, the bald/shaved Hitler looks way too much like Jeffrey Tambor.

That time JRR Tolkien told the Third Reich to eat a bag of dicks
“Dear Hitler: Suck my English balls…”
In 1937, JRR Tolkien published The Hobbit, around the same time Hitler’s Third Reich was beginning to consolidate power. At the time, Tolkien was a little known professor from Oxford, and when a German company tried to get the rights to publish The Hobbit in German, Tolkien was asked first if he was of Aryan descent.

New evidence reignites the debate over Hitler’s possible French love child
In the 1970s, evidence came to light that Mr. Jean-Marie Loret (above right) was the son of Adolph Hitler and a French woman. Growing up, Mr. Loret knew nothing about his father, other than that his mother told him his father was from Germany. But when he was a teenager, his mother dropped the bombshell that she had slept with Hitler and he may be the Fuhrer’s son.

Winston Churchill’s high altitude pressure chamber
Winston Churchill’s doctors warned him that a man of his age and fitness shouldn’t be flying at high altitudes, so scientists had a specialized pressure chamber built for when Churchill might have to fly at high altitudes back and forth across the Atlantic.
