Great video. It reminds me --unfortunately-- of Mr Hist Prof's take on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor: "Roosevelt was looking for a war in the Pacific.". How I don't miss Mr Hist Prof!

Of course he was, that's why he raped Nanking and bombed Pearl Harbour.

That's a nice tribute and so true we owe them so much.
I was marveling at the quality of videos from 1945.
 Someone took good care of those until they could be switched to another type media.
Thank You

Anne_from_Victoria –   – (8:52 PM)  

He would say that anywhere. He is unbelievably arrogant.

Cowards and ignoramuses usually are.

That IS a cool sight.

Check out the celebrity yearbook section for a laugh.

Also loved the Men's World covers.  Using the "Weasals eat my flesh" cover as my desktop.  I think this may be the magazine that inspired Frank Zappa.
