Thank you … it’s impossible to please everyone, but the vast majority of comments seem to like the timing so I will stick with it for all future videos. Thanks for watching !
I feel this was one of the most diverse set of photographs I have seen on similar channels thus far. I literally had to take a breathe …. Such horrific sadness & unnecessary suffering. Life can be so brutal in so many ways.
Wow. The nice looking young man changed so much in 4 years. His pictures look like father and son. 😢😢 Robin Williams looks so sad and frail!! He was an amazing talent. 🌟😢
The picture of Evgeny Kobytev before and after the war - The first thing that I noticed was his eyes, the warmth has gone, the atrocities he must have seen and possibly forced to do, have taken something from inside him.
I did a separate video on this photo. He was an artist and his drawings tell you everything you need to know … that video is here. The Human Face after Four Years of War th-cam.com/video/9TyUd4OXra8/w-d-xo.html
The young boys photographed at a coal mine is actually 1911 the Pennsylvania coal company when I first went down a coal mine. I was 13 in my local village in gresford Wales. Thank goodness for me it was only one day visit that was 1973.
I did a separate video on the whole subject which includes several photos from the 1911 Pennsylvania mines: Vintage History Photos Showing the Brutal Reality For Coal Miners in History th-cam.com/video/ZgX0JeU7RjU/w-d-xo.html
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotosmy grandfather was a coal miner for 44 years. I’m not sure how old he was when he started, but I’m guessing sometime during WWI.
You’re welcome 😊 ... When starting this channel the single toughest decision I had to make was talk or no talk. I decided that the focus needs to be on the photos with the description and music as a background. Tough balance but I'm glad That I went with no talking !
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos you made the right choice!!! Talking completely shatters the magic. The way you do it, the viewing experience becomes an emotional journey ✨. Also thank you for leaving the photos up for long enough for us to really contemplate them 👍
An "emotional journey" ... i love that ! That's exactly what I'm going for ... your journey may be different than someone else's but I want to just provide minimalist content and let you decide your own discovery for yourself .... Thank you for the feedback !
How many people have lived over time, how many have been happy, how many have suffered. Nothing remains of their smiles, their tragedies and how they were. Luckily for very few of them the memory of the living or in old photographs like these, to testify to having lived.
The MIGHTY 101 St Airborne division! I was a member of the 101st airborne division in Vietnam and I can tell you I have never met a finer bunch of guys to fight with! Simply the best.
Thank you for your service sir. My grandfather was a British Army soldier and was at Dunkirk and Monte Cassino. We all owe our soldiers a debt we can never repay. Have a great 4th of July 👍🏻
The solders picture speaks volumes my farther in law had nightmares still 70 yrs after serving in the sas right up to the day he died at 101 hope he at peace now 😢
My grandfather was at Dunkirk (among other places) and never spoke of it … an entire generation who suffered tremendously … mostly for nations who have since turned their backs on everything our brave soldiers fought for…. But don’t get me started on that.
Robin Williams picture 💔my❤️. You could see the saddens in his eyes. His eyes used to smile w/him. In this one you can see the pain.😢R.I.P. Robin Williams.
The face of war,the mining children and the mental patient at 2:56 are heartbreaking. They are humans that seen darkness and fear. Especially the children that must have been so scared to go down to that mine
Just no words to describe the sadness I felt seeing these pictures.The Station night club fire? None of us here in R.I will ever forget that horrific night.
Not for himself I felt but more so for leaving us. I truly believe his joy was making us smile. He gave this final gift for that fan, but then again I have different ideas about the dignity of ones own death and what we give by what we leave behind. Let people, society and norms say what they want.
The Dairy Queen where Robin Williams was pictured is in Lindstrom, Mn. He was staying at the Hazelden Betty Ford clinic in the nearby town of Center City.
Unbelievable, thanks for posting. And... The Man from "Schindler's List", Amon Göth was his name. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was an very famous german Poet.
You did a wonderful job with this collection, and the music was perfect. Side bar: Meyer Lansky was a patient of my father's, and I visited with his grand daughter. She and her husband were living on Miami Beach, in her grand father's beautiful Art Deco hotel, the Golden Cadillac.
Thank you 🤗. … and thanks for sharing that story. These kind of comments are one of the reasons I started this channel …. Btw, I lived in nyc for a few years and met some very interesting characters of the same ilk 👍🏻
Thank you for giving the people in these images their dignity - not many do, so I subscribed to your channel. The picture of Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev before and after war is heartbreaking - everyone should see the devastation of war...but from this sweet boys' face - not by experience. The price he paid might be worth it if it saved another boys' life.
Look Evgeny Stepanovich's eyes. The first photo his eyes look loving, calm, sure and kind, in the second photo his eyes look hard, shocked, distant, fearful with a touch of evil, numb, and empty.
He was an incredible artist pre and post war. His story is incredible so I am about to do a feature video on this photo this week. Similar to the 'Man who refused to salute" video that takes a deeper delve. Look out for that one coming soon.
This is how to present a video! Well done! Nothing raped my ears and nothing flash tortured my eyes. I also didn't have to stare at the narrator in the lower 50% of my screen. 👏
It’s funny you should say that. I considered doing that corner narration thing because that’s what the algorithm likes for monetization … But, I hate it too so I went for simplicity and quality over money. Thank you for your kind comments 🤗

Testimonios de incalculable valor. Es educativo aprender realidades de otras épocas y comprender que la crueldad humana no tiene limites IMPORTANTISIMA MUESTRA !!!! GRACIAS DESDE ARGENTINA
Indeed, I do try to put some light hearted ones in also … but reality is that history is not always pretty. It’s a tough balance in photo selection. Thanks for watching 🤗
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos You're most welcome. Don't misunderstand my comment. Not a criticism. Just my reaction to the realities of life caught on film. The pictures you show are a reminder there are ups and downs in life. Some moments can be wonderful and some terrible, and everything in between. Be well. 🙏
Not at all. I totally go what you were saying. You are absolutely right. It really is a reminder of our ups and downs through history. Actually, I think I was projecting in my comment because I'm always trying to improve this channel and I noticed lately my last few videos seemed to have more and more dark photos and tone. This Saturdays video is going to be a bit less catastrophic ... lol But, no less entertaining I can assure you !!! Thank you for your comment and for watching the content :)
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos You're welcome. As for my comment about some of the pics being crushing, can't help being sympathetic towards these people. Even depictions of those who were on the wrong side of history, who suffered for their efforts. Many people who do the wrong things, yet believe they're right, get their comeuppance and look defeated. God forgive them. But yeah. Life has ups and downs. Like when a baby is born it can be joyous. Conversely, when someone died it's a heartbreak. Don't change the content of your channel because you might think some of your pictures are too dark in content. History is what it is, and I find it all fascinating to see. I appreciate your channel. Even an old fart like me has plenty to learn, and I think showing what life was like, good or bad, is a service to young people. God bless.🙏
I’m a medium aged fart and still learn every day … and will do so til my last breathe. I study a lot of ancient Roman history but like all periods. I learn so much when making these videos. Thank you for your feedback. 🤗
Glad you enjoyed them. The miner children photos impacted me also. So much so that I made a separate video on the life of the young miner’s in the early 1900’s … It’s very eye opening … you can view that video here if you wish ➡️ th-cam.com/video/ZgX0JeU7RjU/w-d-xo.html
Everything he fought for. Struggled every day to keep them safe, to fight for their freedom, to come home to them. And they were killed. Others are upsetting but this one is heartbreaking. I can't imagine the pain this poor man went through. Finally Happy to be home, to see his family, to kiss his wife and hug his children. If only for a few weeks before he goes back to the front. A short pause from the war. And he's lost everything.
@sarahalbers5555 it's one of those stories that it sounds better that he was taken and eaten by cannibals. Reality is him and his mate were attempting to cross a river at its mouth and a storm blew in and took them out to sea very quickly. Michael Rockefeller attempted to swim to shore to get help for his friend and was never seen again after that. His friend was picked up a few hours later in the boat, that's how we know what happened. Michael Phelps wouldn't have been able to make that swim.
Yes this was one of my first videos after launching the channel and I was not aware of the importance of dating at the time .. In almost all of the other 50 + videos on the channel you will see that they are dated (When date is known) in more than 95% of the pictures. Thank you for the feedback though.👍🏻
That soldier is smiling because a bullet that just hit his helmet and he survived. He is smiling because he just survived a bullet to the head. If you search up shell smoke victims they don’t look happy.
Unfortunately the vast majority of the time this was how he looked according to just about everyone who knew him. He was a very sad man and performing was the only time he came out of that funk... which is why he adopted his onstage persona as much as possible. The great John Cleese also suffers from terrible depression and is a general sad person.
I've seen this James Dean crash photo many times. James is in the ambulance, and here they're about to put Rolf on the stretcher. Rolf became an alcoholic, stabbed his 4th wife while she lay sleeping, and was killed in a car accident, where he, like James, had to be cut out. He was only 53.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it … I’m confused with the second part though because almost all of the photos on every video I have done include the year (on the second line of the description) … it’s only omitted when the date is unknown or there was literally no room due to a longer than normal description but more than 90% of them should have dates 👍🏻
The photo of Michael Rockefeller is heartbreaking. I took a course in oceanic Asia-Pacific history and was told by the Professor that the Asmat Cannibals served him up to the tribe with various species of bivalve molluscs. In fact it's where the term "oysters with Rockefeller" originated. Later shortened by removing the "with". True story.
4:39 I believe the man in this photo wasn’t actually suffering from extreme PTSD. he had been wounded and was being patched up in the trenches when the photographer came along he just smiled for the camera but the light reflected in his eyes weird and made him look really creepy. at least that’s what I heard but I could be mistaken it’s still really awful what they had to go through.
I have heard three or four completely different, and supposedly completely verified, explanations of this story … so we are none the wiser. But as you say, whatever is going on, the awfulness of the situation is what is being presented
He was a wonderful artist before and after the war ... I did a whole separate video just on his story and art if you wish to learn more as its such a powerful photo and story. Here it is > th-cam.com/video/9TyUd4OXra8/w-d-xo.html
@0:50, I cannot even picture in 1955, they slaughtered a man to eat him, yet he was there to help them. @3:29, ridiculous 130 bullets were fired at Bonnie & Clyde.
@@davidronson8712Natives everywhere in history have never needed ‘help’. I enjoy stories missionaries who perish trying to visit Santolo Island near India. Un-contacted tribes there will continue to thrive without our help as we irradiate the rest of the world. 🤡 We need the help! 😂
This is one of the first sites that leaves the pictures on long enough for a person to study them. Great job! 👍

Yes, my exact feeling. you expressed it perfectly.
Life is beautiful. It's people who can be brutal.
These are some of the most moving photographs I have ever seen.
That's one of the main aims of this channel. We must never lose touch with our humanity. Just some gentle reminders.
The soldier returning home and finding his house and family are gone! The tragedy of war!
Happened far too many times.
Heart wrenching.
Wow. The nice looking young man changed so much in 4 years. His pictures look like father and son. 😢😢
Robin Williams looks so sad and frail!! He was an amazing talent. 🌟😢
Cocaine does that to everyone after prolonged abuse...
Since he was Russian, that was the Western front, not Eastern.
It was the grin on the shell shock guy that got me,
Looks like he became insane to deal with the insanity
Also, there's something about his eyes that's deeply unsettling.
@@Ama-Elainitotally!
It’s not true though that he had shell shock. He had just survived a gunshot and simply smiled for the camera.
He was insane. The madness of war!

Great, thought provoking images. Pity about lack of dates on 90% but still worthwhile.
Yes this was one of my first videos after launching the channel and I was not aware of the importance of dating at the time .. In almost all of the other 50 + videos on the channel you will see that they are dated (When date is known) in more than 95% of the pictures. Thank you for the feedback though.👍🏻
The photos of the war years are very impressive, what people of those years did not survive
Beautiful piece of music
Thank you 🤗
Such dark images !But these should be shown and hope we learn for the better from them
The music is amazing too
Thank you … please feel free to visit www.markbulmer.com for more info on the music 🎵
Time to research! Ty!
Sound track is amazing.
Thank you very much 🤗 … feel free to visit www.markbulmer.com for more info and album links to Spotify, Apple Music etc.
The photo with the smiling soldier is not shell shock…
Lee Harvey Oswald , killed for something he never did, Jack Ruby was dying of cancer, all very
convenient .
That soldier is smiling because a bullet that just hit his helmet and he survived. He is smiling because he just survived a bullet to the head. If you search up shell smoke victims they don’t look happy.
Ahh . . . . "The good old days ". 🥺
2:12 Face Of War
He has seen things NO ONE should see!!
Truth !
Robin Williams didnt look like his bubbly self.
Unfortunately the vast majority of the time this was how he looked according to just about everyone who knew him. He was a very sad man and performing was the only time he came out of that funk... which is why he adopted his onstage persona as much as possible. The great John Cleese also suffers from terrible depression and is a general sad person.
Lest We Forget ...Rest In Peace ..
wow
You beat me to it, so I'll double that wow!
That damn bullet! it never hit a thing&ain’t Never been fired
4:24 They look so proud.....
Humans are shockingly cruel…. I truly pray that I not return to Earth in another lifetime.
Oh 🥹the eyes of the child miners
a few years less stress and some food good as old
James Dean go BOOM! 💥
Nice
Thank you
Wow the mining boys.
I've seen this James Dean crash photo many times. James is in the ambulance, and here they're about to put Rolf on the stretcher. Rolf became an alcoholic, stabbed his 4th wife while she lay sleeping, and was killed in a car accident, where he, like James, had to be cut out. He was only 53.
Brilliant video, thanks. My only suggestion would have been a year reference for each photo.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it … I’m confused with the second part though because almost all of the photos on every video I have done include the year (on the second line of the description) … it’s only omitted when the date is unknown or there was literally no room due to a longer than normal description but more than 90% of them should have dates 👍🏻
I can hear Bugsy saying ‘I don’t know nothing see …’
The worst photo for me was the 1890 mental health treatment in Germany. Then Patrick Swayze.
Robin Williams last image is so sad! Sll i can see is s blank look, just like my mother who had Alzheimer's.
❤️
The photo of Michael Rockefeller is heartbreaking. I took a course in oceanic Asia-Pacific history and was told by the Professor that the Asmat Cannibals served him up to the tribe with various species of bivalve molluscs. In fact it's where the term "oysters with Rockefeller" originated. Later shortened by removing the "with".
True story.
Seriously? The dish was invented in the 19th century. It's documented.
@@essaboselin5252 - No, not seriously. I was being facetious.
Oh, hahaha Hahaha, good one. You got me.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
@@sheilagravely5621 😀
That soldier who found his family killed, that broke my heart
4:39 I believe the man in this photo wasn’t actually suffering from extreme PTSD. he had been wounded and was being patched up in the trenches when the photographer came along he just smiled for the camera but the light reflected in his eyes weird and made him look really creepy.
at least that’s what I heard but I could be mistaken
it’s still really awful what they had to go through.
I have heard three or four completely different, and supposedly completely verified, explanations of this story … so we are none the wiser. But as you say, whatever is going on, the awfulness of the situation is what is being presented
Robin Williams face expression tells he already left the earth mentally
They were all very moving pictures. The shell shocked soldier really bothered me.
Thanks for watching.
There was no way to know that was Patrick Swayze without being told.
needs more T&A
That German soldier- from truly handsome to 30 years older in just 4 years on the Eastern Front. Oy! What he must have seen and suffered...
He was a wonderful artist before and after the war ... I did a whole separate video just on his story and art if you wish to learn more as its such a powerful photo and story.
Here it is > th-cam.com/video/9TyUd4OXra8/w-d-xo.html
@0:50, I cannot even picture in 1955, they slaughtered a man to eat him, yet he was there to help them. @3:29, ridiculous 130 bullets were fired at Bonnie & Clyde.
Help them, in what way? By destroying their culture (as by teaching them that cannibalism and head hunting were wrong) and bringing Christianity?
@@view1st Are you cannibal??
@view1st Is cannibalism and head hunting right in your culture? 😬
@@blondegiraffe2023 I am Canadian, this country is only 156 years old, I do not know if the Natives practiced cannibalism.
@@davidronson8712Natives everywhere in history have never needed ‘help’.
I enjoy stories missionaries who perish trying to visit Santolo Island near India. Un-contacted tribes there will continue to thrive without our help as we irradiate the rest of the world. 🤡
We need the help! 😂
0:59: His name was Amon Göth, not Goethe.
It could be spelled Goth or Goeth …But either way it was a typo with a rogue E …
