A truly stunning example of the art of the Illinois watch company, this sterling silver cushion shaped example, with its jet-black dial; stained glass hands; pumpkin crown and period engraving is completely restored and in a word, magnificent! Circa 1914.

the thing is, yes don't blame present day germans for hitler but since she used the word didn't I think she is referring to Germans back then and as someone who is from Germany and has studied this time period excessively, germans back then WERE to blame. They Voted for him. Before Germany became a dictatorship, Hitler was Voted and greatly beloved. THEN he abolished every political opponents inside and outside the government. And tge amount of resistance against the nazi regime that came from within Germany was sooooo low. It is a great great guilt that is still lying on everyone's shoulders. Because even if your grandparents weren't enthusiastically nazi's, they were bystanders, who watched and supported the genozide everyday to save their own skin. The majority of the German population knew what was going on, knew that it was wrong and decided to not say anything. This is very very important to remember.

The World War II Memorial on the National Mall is a beautiful oval memorial with beautiful stone and brass art to honor the 16 million that served, the 400,000 that perished during the conflict and the countless other here stateside that supported the war effort. This memorial opened in 2004 as a monument to the amazing spirit, sacrifice and commitment of the United States of America considered the defining event of the 20th Century. It’s significance is why it is the singular 20th Century event that is commemorated on the central axis of the National Mall. @bheventspace @bhphoto - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america @tamracphoto @tiffencompany @benrousa @adorama @kehcamera @nationalparkservice @nationalparkgeek @nationalmallnps @visitwashingtondc @nationalparkfoundation #wwiimemorial #omsystem #washingtondc #nationalpark #nationalmall (at National Mall and Memorial Parks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwfdYGFkeg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rebels and Refugees: The Battle Scars of St. John the Baptist Church, Mayfield, Staffordshire
St. John the Baptist Church in Mayfield stands as a silent witness to history, from a 1745 siege by Bonnie Prince Charlie's army to a nearby WWII bomber crash. A closer look reveals the impact of warfare on this quiet village.

U.S. Army soldier Walter C. Wetzel of Huntington, West Virginia, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on April 3, 1945, in Birken, Germany. Wetzel joined the Army in July 1941 and, by April 3, 1945, was serving as a Private First Class in the 13th Infantry Regiment, 8th Infantry Division. On that day, in Birken, Germany, Wetzel smothered the blasts of German-thrown grenades with his body, sacrificing himself to protect those around him. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor ten months later, on February 26, 1946, by President Truman. His Medal of Honor citation reads: "Pfc. Wetzel, an acting squad leader with the Antitank Company of the 13th Infantry, was guarding his platoon's command post in a house at Birken, Germany, during the early morning hours of 3 April 1945, when he detected strong enemy forces moving in to attack. He ran into the house, alerted the occupants and immediately began defending the post against heavy automatic weapons fire coming from the hostile troops. Under cover of darkness, the Germans forced their way close to the building where they hurled grenades, 2 of which landed in the room where Pfc. Wetzel and the others had taken up firing positions. Shouting a warning to his fellow soldiers, Pfc. Wetzel threw himself on the grenades and, as they exploded, absorbed their entire blast, suffering wounds from which he died. The supreme gallantry of Pfc. Wetzel saved his comrades from death or serious injury and made it possible for them to continue the defense of the command post and break the power of a dangerous local counterthrust by the enemy. His unhesitating sacrifice of his life was in keeping with the U.S. Army's highest traditions of bravery and heroism." #WeRememberThem Posted @withregram • @wwiimemorial (at Huntington, West Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqk8UiFOksK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of two halls Exhibition Hall that flank the World War I Memorial Tower in Kansas City Missouri at dusk. The limestone exterior which is bountiful in this part of the country was designed by New York architect Harold Van Buren Magonigle in a classical Egyptian revival style in remembrance of the war to end all wars. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitkc @wwiimemorial #omd #microfourthirds #micro43photography https://www.instagram.com/p/CqXy0tbOtCQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
