Germany, 1916
Two German soldiers and their mule don gas masks during WWI. This mule was given a gas mask to prevent it from inhaling a chemical called phosgene, which was used in weapons during the war. Of the one million British horses sent overseas to help with the war effort, only 62,000 returned home.
Germany, 1945
Soldiers mock the Third Reich leader after his suicide. Many citizens and soldiers who opposed his reign celebrated in the streets for days afterward. However, the Soviet Union presented a number of conspiracy theories regarding Hitler's death, maintaining that Hitler was still alive years after the war had drawn to a close.
