Here are this week’s interesting historical photos. For part 74, click here.
1. Women protesting forced hijab days after the Iranian Revolution, 1979.
2. U.S. President Lyndon Johnson.

5. The Great Sphinx of Giza partially excavated. Taken in the 1860s.
6. The Dresden Frauenkirsche, taken in January 1952.

7. John Lewis and other marchers on the Edmund Pettit Bridge in Selma, March 7, 1965.
8. Finnish White Army executing Russian soldiers in the front lines of the Finnish Civil War, 1918.
9. A 16 years old boy died from a heroin overdose. Milan, Italy, 1980.
10. The last picture of Adolf Hitler, April 28, 1945.
There is a mistake in number 6. It’s “Frauenkirche” not “Frauenkirsche”.
Sorry for beeing so pedantic, but it’s “Frauenkirche” and not “Frauenkirsche”.
“Frauen” means women, Kirche means “church” and Kirsche means “cherry”.
So, it’s not women’s cherry…
Nevertheless, keep the pictures coming, best series!
The history behind that Afrikaner Commamdo pic is actually really interesting. Would love it if you guys did a kickass piece on the boer wars. Keep up the great work.
