The Pink Sensation Of Marilyn Monroe
Isn’t it amazing how much more detail you can see when a black and white picture is transformed with color? This 1952 snap taken by Harold Lloyd brought a steamy boudoir delight to Life Magazine subscribers. This would mark the beginning of a short but iconic working relationship. They would collaborate one more time, at Lloyd’s Greenacres home, this time for a swimsuit special. Monroe was grateful to spend the day at Lloyd’s lofty estate, where she could finally enjoy some privacy. Lloyd’s daughter had glowing praise for Monroe, saying “She was my age, or maybe a year or two younger, but we came from very different worlds. She sat down to put on her makeup, and we just started chatting about our lives. She insisted on seeing the baby and talked about how she dreamed of having a child of her own one day.”

The Child Soldiers Of Nazi Germany
As Hitler found himself steadily encircled by Allied forces, with his own crumbling with every consecutive defeat, he began resorting to desperate tactics, such as conscripting teenagers and even children. Here we have a heartbreaking photograph of Hans-Georg Henke, who was only 16 when he was given a gun and a uniform. He reported that his parents lost their lives the previous year, inspiring him to sign up with the Luftwaffe to make ends meet for his remaining family members. This picture was taken by John Florea on April 3, 1945, after he was detained by the US 9th Army.
