Adolf Hitler’s Unusual Guests: The Easy Company Paratroopers
In a rarely idyllic and enjoyable scene for World War II, three members of the elite Easy Company reclining during 1945 at one of Adolf Hitler’s many properties. This picturesque property is situated in Obersalzberg, close to Berchtesgaden, Bavaria. You might remember a scene in the miniseries Band of Brothers that recreated this humorous display. But it was also an explosive one as April 25th of the same year saw the are being bombed extensively. SS troops would later raze the property on May 5, moments prior to the arrival of the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division and the French 2nd Armored Division’s arrival thanks to the discovery of hidden tunnels. Either way, these American fellows made the most out of this victory!

The Woman Behind Gone With the Wind’s Scarlett O’Hara: Vivien Leigh
Gone With the Wind is one of the most iconic (if not controversial) films in cinema, and Vivien Leigh was one half of its sweeping and epic romance. You might be amused to learn, however, that Leigh was not even American in real life, but a Brit! Her arrival to Los Angeles for the beginning of the film’s production soon turned into a prolonged series of hysterics, with Leigh being prone to throwing tantrums. Along with Laurence Olivier, her partner at the time, Leigh was convinced that this film would fail. Olivier would ironically lecture her on how important it was that she save her career following the predicted tanking of Gone With the Wind by delivering the performances of a lifetime in subsequent roles.
