Sister Rosetta Tharpe, 1940.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist. She attained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with her gospel recordings, characterized by a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and rhythmic accompaniment that was a precursor of rock and roll. She was the first great recording star of gospel music and among the first gospel musicians to appeal to rhythm-and-blues and rock-and-roll audiences, later being referred to as "the original soul sister" and "the Godmother of rock and roll". She influenced early rock-and-roll musicians, including Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.

A German infantryman walks toward the body of a killed Soviet soldier and a burning BT-7 light tank in the southern Soviet Union in in 1941, during the early days of Operation Barbarossa. Operation Barbarossa (Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the German codename for Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II, which commenced on June 22, 1941. It was to be the turning point for the fortunes of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, in that the failure of Operation Barbarossa arguably resulted in the eventual overall defeat of Nazi Germany. The Eastern Front, which was opened by Operation Barbarossa, would become the biggest theater of war in World War II, with some of the largest and most brutal battles, terrible loss of life, and miserable conditions for Russians and Germans alike.

Civer to Baseball Magazine Sept, 1942,
Workmen dig air raid trenches in the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra, March 1942.
Less than 24 hours after this photo was taken, screen legend Carole Lombard died in a plane crash.
Actress Carole Lombard was famous in her own right, but she had even greater visibility as the wife of the also famous Clark Gable. After the attack on Pearl Harbor Lombard began using her fame and influence to help America's war effort against the Axis Powers, lending her name and money to all kinds of drives for money or resources or to raise awareness of the needs of American troops.
When the U.S. entered World War II at the end of 1941, Lombard traveled to her home state of Indiana for a war bond rally with her mother, Bess Peters, and Clark Gable's press agent, Otto Winkler. Lombard was able to raise over $2 million in defense bonds in a single evening. Her party had initially been scheduled to return to Los Angeles by train, but Lombard was anxious to reach home more quickly and wanted to fly by a scheduled airline. Her mother and Winkler were both afraid of flying and insisted they follow their original travel plans. Lombard suggested they flip a coin; they agreed and Lombard won the toss.
In the early morning hours of January 16, 1942, Lombard, her mother, and Winkler boarded a Transcontinental and Western Air Douglas DST (Douglas Sleeper Transport) aircraft to return to California. After refueling in Las Vegas, TWA Flight 3 took off at 7:07 p.m. and crashed into "Double Up Peak" near the 8,300-foot (2,530 m) level of Potosi Mountain, 32 statute miles (51 km) southwest of the Las Vegas airport. All 22 aboard, including Lombard, her mother, and 15 U.S. Army soldiers, were killed instantly. Lombard was 33 years old. The cause of the crash was determined to be linked to the pilot and crew's inability to properly navigate over the mountains surrounding Las Vegas. As a precaution against the possibility of enemy Japanese bomber aircraft coming into American airspace from the Pacific, safety beacons used to direct night flights were turned off, leaving the pilot and crew of the TWA flight without visual warnings of the mountains in their flight path. The crash on the mountainside occurred three miles outside of Las Vegas.
Shortly after Lombard's death, Gable, who was inconsolable and devastated by his loss, joined the United States Army Air Forces. Lombard had asked him to do that numerous times after the United States had entered World War II. After officer training, Gable headed a six-man motion picture unit attached to a B-17 bomb group in England to film aerial gunners in combat, flying five missions himself. In December 1943, the United States Maritime Commission announced that a Liberty ship named after Carole Lombard would be launched. Gable attended the launch of the SS Carole Lombard on January 15, 1944, the two-year anniversary of Lombard's record-breaking war bond drive. The ship was involved in rescuing hundreds of survivors from sunken ships in the Pacific and returning them to safety.

Iwo Jima, Feb. 19, 1945.
The Nijmegen Salient was a large area of land controlled by the Allies in the Second World War during the North-West Europe campaign. The area was defended by the First Canadian Army from Nov 1944 to early Feb 1945, after which the Rhineland campaign began.
The salient had been created in Sep 1944 during Operation MARKET-GARDEN. While British XXX Corps was unable to meet their objective of linking up with British paratroopers in Arnhem, the US 82d Airborne Division had nonetheless managed to capture an intact bridge at Nijmegen over the Waal River. British XXX Corps had passed through, and at the start of Nov were defending the area; after the Battle of the Scheldt, the First Canadian Army took over part of the line in this area.

Berlin in 1930.
Berlin in 1945.
The damage was largely the result of incendiaries, not high explosives, so there wasn’t much to cause craters. In the last days the fight happened road to road. Statisticians calculated that for every inhabitant of Berlin there were nearly 30 cubic meters of rubble. The reconstruction process for Germany began fully in 1948 but the city was not truly rebuilt until the 1980′s

Oregon, 1947.

We see here the start of the mythology of the American Outlaw Biker in 1947 Hollister, California.
The Hollister riot, also known as the Hollister Invasion, was an event that occurred at the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA)-sanctioned Gypsy Tour motorcycle rally in Hollister, California from July 3 to 6, 1947.
Many more motorcyclists than expected flooded the small town to watch the annual rallies, as well as to socialize and drink. A few of the motorcyclists caused a commotion in the town.
The incident, known afterwards as the Hollister riot, was sensationalized by the press with reports of bikers "taking over the town" and "pandemonium" in Hollister. The strongest dramatization of the event was a photo of a drunken man sitting on a motorcycle, possibly staged by the photographer by surrounding the scene with discarded beer bottles. It was published in Life magazine and it brought national attention and negative opinion to the event. The Hollister riot helped to give rise to the outlaw biker image.

Chewing on it a bit since hearing the news late last night, I think Sean Connery might be the most significant actor of the 20th Century for me. The man hadn’t made a film in over two decades and I was still watching his performances with regularity. James Bond is something I genuinely cherish, something I could always talk to and connect with my grandfather about and I think Connery is almost singlehandedly responsible for that. The first film I ever saw in cinemas was Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade. One of the first dates I took my partner on was a re-showing of The First Knight in a Melbourne theatre (to this day the woman continues to quote “Camelot Livesh!”). Hell, the first time I met Reek he casually brought up Draco the Dragon over a pint of beer and that was probably when I knew the guy was operating on the same wavelength as me. (That, and his excessive opiate use and radical ideas on the Harry Potter franchise.)
I try not to be overly sentimental when it comes to celebrities, but in the case of Sean Connery the guy was pretty formative to who I am as a person. I’m sad that he’s passed, but I’m also really thankful for the good things he contributed to life.
