• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Historical Pictures

Thanks yank for posting. Most enjoyable. The one I get the biggest kick out of is the photo taken of Mussolini's headquarters. The menacing sculpted face on the facade reminds me of the wizard projecting himself in the movie Wizard of Oz. No wonder the Cowardly Lion was scared poopless. And maybe the Italian people for awhile too.
 
Thanks YANK 51,A real keeper.. For me? its sobering however to have been around when most of this was happening.....Looking at todays worlds pictures,it seems to be De Ja Vu all over again!!
 
Great stuff Yank,thanks for sharing the link,I'm with Brad on the Mussolini thing.....really a creepy setting the Italians had to deal with!
