young German soldiers world war two was one of the biggest tragedies in modern
history almost every country in the world was involved the war began on the
1st of September 1939 and it ended on the 2nd of September 1945 it lasted six
years and one day during that time 85 million lives were lost that was around
3 percent of the world's population back then and many prominent figures actually
said don't blame if the enemy soldiers some of the German soldiers actually
didn't agree with the ideologies and many children were even enlisted to go
into the bunkers on the frontline this image captures some German child
soldiers toward the end of ww2 this image is stunning and heartbreaking it
really gives humanity to both sides and you can see that many people were just
kids fighting in this war as you can see the young soldier is terrified and
crying and the scariest part about it it's not known what happened to the two
people in this photo next up is radiographer if you don't know what a
radiographer is it's nothing to do with radios instead the name comes from
radiation waves radio ographers our health care professionals they're
basically experts in x-rays now of course today you can go to most
hospitals and get an actuary very easily but that was not the case in 1918 the
first x-ray actually happened in 1895 and back then doctors didn't realize how
these radioactive waves could actually damage them as a result of this by the
early 1900's they began wearing protective gear in this image is a
French radiographer wearing his protective gear
in 1918 as you can see it's very creepy and would make a trip to the doctor's
office all the more scaring this man was likely a pioneer of radiography and
x-rays of course today doctors can simply leave the room when an x-ray is
going on but of course back then they did not have the same tech we have today
and will protective gear like this next up is the hunter if I showed you this
photograph you'd probably assume it's from a comedy sketch but no this is a
real photo from 1860 this man is holding what is known as a punt gun this was a
custom-made enormous shotgun used in the 19th and 20th centuries hunters would
actually use these to shoot things in water and things like darks geese and
swans would often be hunted using a punt gun that's because a single shot would
spray bullets everywhere hopefully taking out a flying bird in fact just
one single shot from one of these punt guns could take out as many as 50 Birds
this was what farming was like all those years ago
not only would their meat be common for consumption but their feathers were also
very high in demand back then every man and woman's hat would have a feather in
it and back then almost everyone had at
least one or two hats so that's why they needed to use these enormous guns to
take out as many as 50 birds at a time next up is evil scholar we will have
class pitches we likely have them going back from middle school up to high
school and maybe even college they are treasured possessions that everyone
keeps and holds dearly and because everyone in class gets one they usually
pass down through many generations as there's so many of them if you were to
take a look at this school pitch you probably would think it's pretty normal
it's actually a school picture from 1899 but look to the middle off the top line
and check out the tallest boy if you don't recognize that haircut then pick
up a history book that's right this was Hitler's school photo in 1899 it said he
was around eight years old when this image was taken it's pretty eerie to
realize all of these children had no idea they were standing right next to
the most evil man of all time it really makes you wonder who you may
be standing next to in your school photos next up is Statue of Liberty
construction if you live in the USA or if you've traveled there before chances
are you've been to New York and the number one staple of New York has to be
the Statue of Liberty the statue is of a woman holding a fiery torch and it's
made all out of copper it's located on Liberty Island which is an island off
New York it's an American icon but many people
don't realize it was actually a gift from the people of France to the people
of the USA it was given by France to the USA in 1886 and it was given to the USA
as the USA had just abolished slavery the funny thing is this piece of
American iconography was made in Paris as this photo shows this image was taken
in 1883 during the construction as you can see they're building the woman's
arms and upper body coming up next is how no this has nothing to do with the
food instead it has to do with a monkey if you look at this image you may see
him it's part of a comedy routine that's know this really was a monkey that
worked for NASA in fact I've made an entire video on my
channel all about this chin the amazing thing about this chimp named ham was he
was the first primate in space Hamazon at the mercury-redstone to capsule test
flight in 1961 ham was able to go into outer space and even returned home to
the USA he actually has a very sad story that I cover in the video but despite
how sad his story was this image still remains one of the most of rare and
historical images of all time astronauts like Neil Armstrong get all of the
credit and they did do amazing things but we must remember that animals were
actually the first things to go into outer space
next up is magnifier transmitter this may sound like some kind of futuristic
sci-fi piece of tech but the magnifying transmitter was actually made hundreds
of years ago this invention was made by Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla was a Serbian
American inventor and electricity pioneer in this image taken in 1899 you
can see him sat in his lab beside him was his magnifying transmitter
as you can see electric shock waves are being sent out of it in an amazing and
scary photo it's kind of weird to see him sitting there so calmly as this
occurs and I'm pretty sure if most people saw this today they'd assume it
was futuristic but no this is old tech it just goes to show how Nikola Tesla
was so ahead of his time but what did the magnifying transmitter
actually do well it's actually a high power harmonic oscillator this is
intended for the wireless transmission of electric energy so basically it's one
of the world's first wireless electronic transmitters nowadays we can buy these
and they're very very small in fact handheld and the great example of one is
your Wi-Fi router which I'm sure you have somewhere in your home well none of
that could have been achieved if it weren't for what you're seeing in this
rare historical image next stop is the lone rebel we've already covered world
war two and the terrible events which happen cheering it and we've even seen a
photo of Hitler as a schoolboy but now take a look at this photo taken in 1936
this was during the height of the Nazis in Germany as you can see in the image
everyone is doing a salute but look in the upper right hand corner of this
photo as you can see one man refuses to participate and is not doing the salute
this was one lone rebel and it doesn't seem that anyone around him norther
photographer actually realized I'm not sure what happened to this man
afterwards or whether he was arrested or not but one thing's for sure it's a very
powerful image and shows that just one lone wolf can make a big difference this
image went around the world and showed that not everyone in Germany agreed with
the Nazis and it also shows it only takes one person to stand up to evil and
good contra and finally on our list we have bridge
painting this image may not be as profound as some of the others on this
list but trust me it is amazing and will make your jaw drop nowadays if you
wanted to paint a bridge you would need a lot of health and safety but back in
1915 when this photo was taken if that is not the case as you can see two men
with no harnesses were sat on the Brooklyn Bridge painting it this is how
the Brooklyn Bridge used to be painted it's no wonder that many painters
actually used to fall off and pass away but back then health and safety was not
how it is today so those were some amazing historical photos which I'm sure
made your jaw drop be sure to vote in the poll in the top right corner and
tell me which photo you thought was the most amazing if you want some more cool
