History

Not all Germans loved Hitler or his decisions to drag the country into costly wars and cause the unjust sufferings of other nations.

Despite horrors happening during wars, there were still stories that make us restore our faith in humanity. It is during those times when people receive help and kindness from those that they least expect it from: the enemies.

The physical conditions of the battlefield play a huge factor in the result of the encounters— the terrain, weather, and bodies of water, could all greatly influence the result of the battle.

There were wars that almost happened, but thankfully did not. Here are some of them:

Howard Hughes started a notorious aircraft project called the Hughes H-4 Hercules, a wooden amphibious aircraft better known as the Spruce Goose.

Halloween is still pretty far, but that would not stop us from telling some of the spooky and chilling stories of the Civil War.

The POWs of Camp Sumter were captured and taken to the enemy prison camp to be forced into labor, starved, and tortured.
