What with spending too much time getting the new Apple set up, plus other domestic demands, I ran out of time to write a post for today.
Dan Gomez recently forwarded me an email that contained an amazing collection of historical photographs.
So going to leave you with these.

This is one of five known X-rays of Hitler’s head, part of his medical records compiled by American military intelligence after the German’s surrendered and declassified in 1958. The records also include doctor’s reports, diagrams of his teeth and nose and electrocardiograms. He had bad teeth, lots of fillings and crowns.

Sergeant Stubby (1916 or 1917 – April 4, 1926), was the most decorated war dog of World War I and the only dog to be promoted to sergeant through combat. America’s first war dog, Stubby, served 18 months ‘over there’ and participated in seventeen battles on the Western Front. He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and even once caught a German spy by the seat of his pants (holding him there until American Soldiers found him).
Wow that first picture is impressive.. what a contrast.
And Marilyn Monroe looked gorgeous!! That dress looks like it was made for her, she shines more than Queen Elizabeth II 😉
As you know, Paul, history is not my strong suit…but in small doses, it is even interesting! Thanks for sharing them…everyone knows that it’s nccessary to come up for air occasionally!!! (If this gets to you, consider it a miracle) mag

I didn’t realise how well known Monroe had become by the age of 30! As you say though, what a contrast between the two.
