We live in an age where we're constantly bombarded by images from every conceivable direction, and as a result, we rarely stop to look at them for more than a few seconds.

The next time you're absent-mindedly scrolling down your Tumblr feed, keep in mind that one of those photos you're ignoring could be hiding something that will change the world ...

that tank man guy is one of the most bravest people i have seen. I like how the tanks try and awkwardly move around him lol
that's saitama
I thought they would just run him over
Bobby Coco Well your definley not white, both your names are slang for drugs , herion and coke wouldn't mind a bit of smack I've a nice vein in my neck 😀😀😂😂👻👻👻👍🏼
David Nolan j
In that particular army, I suppose someone would be afraid of getting into terrible trouble should a soldier just climb out of a tank and stop him from moving. Irony is, such a soldier might have won a medal and a ticket to Disneyland..
It is a known fact that Radbourn was NOT flipping the finger intentionally, he had suffered a broken finger during a friendly game and the result was a permanently prone finger. No matter what pictures of him you find from that moment the finger is always in the same situation.
that second photo was a cigar in between his pointer and middle finger
Well spotted 👌👌
I'm shocked Hollywood hasn't made a Notebook type movie about Irma and August's love story.
1:30 isn't flipping the bird. He has a cigar between his fingers. Look closer.
nunya biznez Interesting observation. It MIGHT be a cigar.
nunya biznez only if he is missing a finger
Was looking for this comment. 5 years later I will agree with you. It is 100% a cigar.
Tank Man, is a fucking legend!
he makes me proud to be human!
SadieBear the Steeler Fan Heiress Do you know whatever happened to "Tank Man" that day? Did he just stop disrupting the Tank column and continue on with his business? Or, did they have to physically intervene with this man? Sorry, for the bother. :-)
A very brave man
+Scott Crabtree he was actually essentially carried off by a couple of people.
Linden Johnson looking at Kennedy like, "you don't even KNOW what's about to happen to you" 7:25
Yeah I noticed that to, kind of scary.
Lyndon Johnson, moron.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw how he was looking at him!
exactly!!!!!! he was a Judas
Umm, the guy in the daguerreotype isn't getting his boots polished- he's resting his foot on a water pump.
Good observation!! :)
coralarch yeah
I think they weren't sure if
it was a water pump or a guy shining shoes cause of the long exposure. A video I saw somewhere else stated both.
The shoeshine guy is obviously behind the water pump (or whatever that thing is). Having his shoes shined is the only thing that makes sense... What other possible reason could there be for a man standing with one foot perched like that for ten minutes?!
The unknown, grocery bag toting man, aka "Tank Man" of Tiananmen Square is a hero. On its a shame more people dont step forward to correct a wrongdoing instead of "turning a blind eye".
+Michelle B he also has the most chrome plated balls in all of recorded history
+Michelle B I am a Chinese and that event was just horrible. I hate how the government at that time just killed people with tanks and guns.
+blackm4niac It's such a contradictory when people equate "having balls" to a guy's toughness when a simple "nut tap" will send a guy to the ground screaming in pain. Watch the Hal Sparks video "p***y is tougher".
+zhigu zhou
i remember what happen there, just makes me sad what a gov. would do to it's own people. did he ever get a medal for doing what he did ?
this man needs to be remembered for what he did that day..
+Lorenzo Syn ....He was disappeared by his government. Nobody knows who he was.
I wonder in the end what happened to the famous Tank Man. I hope he didn't get thrown into prison for decades or run over by the tank or shot to death.
+Sue Lyn he got hauled off if u watch the full video. likely executed
+ImpartialDawn No, he didn't. People in the crowd grabbed him and pulled him away. He's never been identified and the government had bigger things to worry about as the demonstrations in Tiananmen Square escalated.
ImpartialDawn
How was he condescending!? You are the dumbest user of the month
He was most probably tortured and executed
Tank man photograph is the most powerful photograph I have ever seen
it's terrifying what an ideal can become in the wrong mind. Fuck....the human race can be so poor in heart it just sickens me. Sure animals fight for territory and food and survival...we fight just for the stupidest thing color, status, money, power (like you can take that to your Damm grave) imagine 2 zebras fighting over because has one more black or white stripe....we would think that's ridiculous right? yeahh....exactly.
The 1914 picture, was not of Hitler. Hitler do not start sporting that 'sash until he was in WW1. He started shaving like that, because he found it difficult getting his gas mask on tight enough to prevent the gas from getting in.
walter veneau It was later claimed to have been Hitler BY Hitler. And why not? He would have liked to have been photographed there. However, I agree, that it probably wasn't him, for exactly the reason you state.
It is possible that the baseball player could not bend his finger, knuckle injury or whatnot.
He's not giving the finger. He's holding a cigar.
the Tank Man has to be one of the most balliest photo's ever to be seen to this day., what a legend
I think it's safe to say that 60 win season will never be broken. The game must have been way different back then. Pitchers don't start 60 games now. Not so long ago starting pitchers were expected to go 9 innings more often than not, now a complete game is pretty rare. It's weird that as pitchers pitch less, Tommy John surgeries are going way up.
The list started off good but then drifted off into... so fucking what, territory.
lol...damn.
It's shite.....First "finger flip" that's a cigar! lmao
+Zellie Hall the finger flip was ok but the baseball player? he looked like. the janitor at my first grade elementary school lol, i guess back than as u were white u could join the tean
+Peter Piper Correct peter good spot.
And now you just have to be brown.
There is a contradiction in the story of August Landmesser and Irma Eckler as related: If Landmesser didn't see his wife again after she was detained at Fuhlsbuttel prison and she gave birth to their second child there, how does the photo at 10:47 exist?
I know photos are often used to illustrate a story without necessarily actually being a photo of reality, but this one certainly looks like the people under discussion.
In the second photo he's holding a cigar. So obvious!
the last one was really sad
+HinaHina he wasn't a monster stop it.
+Godzilla 2004 And you're not?
+Chick magnet - a.k.a Yu
Lol
+Corine Leone the very last photo came from Ukraine killing actions (Nazis killed Jews). There was also a movie from that massacre where a small dog is crossing by which looks so normal as an everyday peaceful scene which is even more terrifying...
>People who think anyone cares about their opinion of hitler
Look how LBJ was stressed - his hands tightly messing up his jacket, something politicians and other public officials are taught that they shouldn't do, it shows that you are uncomfortable, when you should be doing your best to look like everyone in the crowd is your friend. So what, was he worried about a possible ricochet?
Or I could be completely wrong.
OMG, George, shut your mouth, you're scaring the kids!
Amazing as usual Lutch Green
Pretty sure the 'flipping off' picture, is actually a man holding a cigar between his index and middle finger
+Joanne Bridget Simpson nope he had a broken finger his it was ALWAYS like that
Cool!
+Megan Norval That is what I thought it looked like - not on purpose.
+Joanne Bridget Simpson I thought it was a pipe.
that's what I was thinking!!!
1989 was such an optimistic time. The Berlin Wall and Iron Curtain were on their last legs. Then, it looked as if China might also be rescued from the clutches of communism. Reagan, Thatcher, Gorbachev and John Paul II (and Lec Wolenska) kicked ass all over the globe.
2nd one looks like a large cigar too me rather than a finger.
Thats what im thingking too😑
its obviously a cigar , unless one of his fingers is swelled to shit lol
Agree it's obviously a cigar
can't be a cigar. You can see his knuckle and how it connects to the rest of the digit without a line break
+Satomi Ishida lol open your eyes its a cigar dummy
The guy with the bags is our hero, he rocks.
So cool, I love the Tank man! Imagine just one person stopping all those tanks! Unbelievable!
I enjoy your videos very much because you do not use narration. Your descriptions are beautifully worded and always spelled correctly. Very interesting topics as well. I am a fan. Thanks for doing such an entertaining job!
I recall the tank guy very well. Brave man indeed.
Who else started looking for the middle finger?
That cannot be a picture of Adolf Hitler before WWI with his mustache cut short, He only started cutting his mustache this way after he realized his gas mask would not seal properly unless it was cut like that during a battle in WWI almost a year later.
Eight photos in about twelve minutes? This could have been done in three or four minutes, easily.
On Hitler's photo: It is strange , because the short moustache (as opposed to the big one, a la Kaiser) appeared only during the WWI in order to accommodate the Gas Masque !
In the first one, it has to be the first 2 people. since someone is obviously shining his shoes. The second one, it is not someone flipping someone off, he is holding a cigar. Look closely, it extends below the other fingers.
+tigergreg8 I think this guy parents came from Bristol , where this mannerism was use from Italians then France and started to go all over ......=)
+Ellie Bowers If you mean the part about the finger, it is most def a cigar he is holding. Enlarge the photo. : )
I did , then his missing s finger. 😀
The first photo of a person was taken on a busy day with lots of foot traffic but because of how long an exposure took it only showed things and people who stayed still for awhile so a man getting his shoes shined was the only person in frame staying still long enough to be recorded. True
no 6: I highly doubt that's Hitler. He didn't have that kind of mustache at that time, he boasted the then popular "handlebar" mustache. He only trimmed to the toothbrush mustache while serving in WW1 so that his gas mask could seal properly.
Well, it /could/ have been retouched. Wouldn't be the first time in history...
I was thinking the nose didn't look right when comparing it to the other photo.
at 1:35, I think the baseball player was holding a cigar, not flipping the bird
The "tank man" story always seems to get me in a way. its such bravery and frustration in that guy its so interesting. Tiananmen Square was not a pretty era, it was quite a sad moment for everyone involved although its been a while since i learned it. it was about independence the citizens were seeking by the countries leader didn't want that so it made all these things he thought would better his country and give those a bit of freedom they asked for but both plans failed, i really don't remember but this guy was really brave and even got the tanks to turn a way, i will one day like to know who this man was its would be amazing to hear what he was feeling at this time.
Some say Hitler didn't want war. The look on his face says he liked a warmonger announcement, that he was eager to fight.
He wasn't alone in that. Many people on both sides were eager for war at the time. They quickly changed their tune when they started hearing reports from the front indicating what a nightmare warfare had become with the advent of machine guns and massed artillery.
jannisares Well, yes, by the late 1930's, Germany was in full recovery mode and very aggressively looking to expand, now that they had a rebuilt military capability to achieve that goal. But in 1914, he wasn't alone in his desire for a fight, that's what I was saying. I think the attrition of WWI wore down most of Europe's will to fight so that by the time Hitler came to power, most European countries favored diplomacy to stifle Hitler's aspirations rather than going to war again less than a generation after such devastation had rocked their respective lands and populations.
+Angry Tom Agreed. There are plenty of people who think Hitler didn't want another war. Also there's some simple biology in play here. So many men died in WWI that the birth rate of the country dropped so much that when WWII was being planned there wasn't many men that were old enough to fight. So that variable was also a factor.
"Some say Hitler didn't want war" - they're usually neo-Nazi conspiracy theorists, though
Or just maybe, people who actually do some research, instead of depending on the lies they were fed all these decades later.
The baseball player is not flipping (throwing the finger) at the camera. He’s holding a cigar.
His pinky you can’t see because it is being obscured by the guy in the front row. That is unless his middle finger is two shades darker then his others AND he had no fingernail.
sweet video! that last one was so sad
As much as I was enjoying the information and the visuals, I was entertained fully by the audio quality of the background music. Awesome job!
I like it so much better when you narrate as opposed to having to read. I'm old have to wear reading glasses, Its a pain in my.. .well you get the Idea, and you have an absolutely beautiful voice.
I already got scared in the intro😂 am I the only one??
Who could ever forget the epic photo of "Tank Man" in Tiananmen Square (@4:26. Does that man know he's a legend? An Icon? A hero? I hope so
Grocery bags ? All this photo sleuthing and you think he's carrying grocery bags ? K ...
It was a briefcase and a tote bag if I remember right.
I always assumed they were grocery bags,and for me it symbolised an ordinary person doing an extraordinary thing.I wonder if we will ever find out who the man was.I am pretty sure he won't ever be forgotten,for his brave,but foolhardy actions.
Looks like the guy 'giving the finger' in photo 2 is actually holding a cigar...
With the crewcut, Bill Paxton looks just like his character Chet from Weird Science.
I feel proud Lol, was subscriber number 75,000! Btw great content! Keep dishing it out ;)
the picture of Hitler @2:18 is really wild. If he would have been further back in the crowd or way back towards the stone wall monuments then no one would ever have been able to see him....
I think it looks like he's holding up a cigar rather than showing middle his finger.
I like how detailed this video is plus the music that comes along with it.
Is that all it takes to go down in history? If I think I'm going to regret doing or not doing something then I go with my gut. My gut is rebellious.
5:04 "It's taken me 2 weeks to get this toilet roll from Sainsbury so move out of my way im taking it home".
I now know the real back story to this famous photo so thank you as my home education continues during lock down in England with toilet roll for company.
With that one with the supposed Hitler appearance, I'm reluctant to believe that it's him. I thought he grew out his trademark facial hair just before running for office? Confuzzled. Any historians please feel free to prove me wrong xD
Radbourn looks like Robin WIlliams in those photos, then again Robin being the comic he was may have done the same lol.
Very interesting video Lutch Green, thanks for the effort. I'd like to point out ,though, that in picture no.6 it is unlikely to be Hitler we see but someone else entirely, with the claim that the picture depicts the future Führer likely to be the product of propaganda. The toothbrush mustache was a common trend in Germany at the time, having been imported from America sometime in the late 1800's - early 1900's. It's popularity was likely due to the ease of its upkeep compared to the Kaiser mustache which was longer, turned up at the ends and often perfumed. Adolf Hitler was not known to wear the toothbrush mustache until AFTER WWI broke, with the earliest reliable account stating that he adopted the now infamous style in the trenches because he had been ordered to trim his bushy mustache because it prevented him from using his gas mask effectively. Although his sister-in-law, Bridget Hitler, was to claim that she was the reason he wore the characteristic mustache, saying that while she was holidaying with him in 1912-13 she made him trim it because she found it unruly and disagreeable but that, as in most things, he went "too far". However most historians consider this account to be fictitious.
+Benjamin Roe I agree it can't be Hitler because, he almost died during WW1 from poison gas. His gas mask didn't fit because his mustache was to thick that's when he went with the toothbrush style
+Kenny Joe I thank you for your comment and your agreement but, though I could be mistaken, I'm not sure your version of events is quite correct. Firstly, I dispute the claim that Hitler was nearly killed as a result of poison gas attack, though it did leave him hospitalised since he was, for a time, blinded by the attack and was unable to walk on the following day. If I'm correct, it is quite possible that during or after his rise to power his injuries were exaggerated, in which case you may, conceivably, have mistaken this piece of propaganda for a factual account. Secondly, although, as I mentioned in my previous comment, Hitler did most likely adopt the toothbrush mustache during WWI, from what I can gather he was likely already sporting the style by the time of the gas attack mentioned above, since it took place on the night of the 13th/14th October 1918 and left him hospitalised until the war ended a little under one month later so, at this time, it would have been unnecessary for him to make any changes to his appearance for the sake of personal safety. Rather, as previously mentioned, he likely donned the new style earlier in the war after being ordered to trim his bushy mustache due to it preventing him from using his gas mask effectively, though I am unsure exactly why he would go on to sustain the injuries that he did if his mask fitted correctly - maybe he did not have access to it at the time of the attack or simply failed to put it on in time or maybe the explanation lies in something that I'm missing. If you know of any information that proves me wrong or simply expands on what we have discussed, I would very much appreciate it if you could link me to it.
+Benjamin Roe Glad to still see people that don't take every "amazing" crap posted on TH-cam as fact.
The prospect of having TH-cam shaping our culture and knowledge is worrisome.
airspeedmph Too true my friend.
I'd be more mind blown if I found a skittle in my reeces pieces
wow some stuff on the Internet that I haven't seen and hasn't been rehashed and is interesting. you rock.
What an Interesting, educational, informative and entertaining video, said ...........NOBODY!
I enjoyed it. quite interesting.
+quasidiem99 - I was interested, quite enjoying
MCenigma just
MCenigma I think your an angry young man😂😂😂😂
Dàithí Ó Nualláin ikr
That's not Adolph Hitler, he didn't shave his mustache like that until he was fighting in WWI, He did it down in a bunker after he was sent back into action after he was in the hospital from getting hit with mustard gas.
The Tank Man is very brave to do that, they never tried to run him over.
I paused at 5:50 to try and guess. I guessed the Asian kid.... it was the freakin' Asian kid! He just has that facial expression like, "I hate you all and I am going to try and take over the world." LOL
heh, that isn't just any Asian kid... O.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could that baseball player claimed to be the first one photographed "flipping the bird" actually instead be pointing at the head of the player in front of him?
I thought that maybe his finger was broken and it simply couldn't bend.
I think it's not a finger at all! The color is absolutely off and the knuckle on the pinky would not be in-line with the ring finger (try it yourself). Perhaps it's a cigar and the pinky is hidden behind the shirt.
The Tinamin Square tank photo was published in the 90's in history books btw
Radbourn was a "fairly popular player" in the 1880s. Oh by the way. He won 60 flipping games in a season!! He'd be a God today !
That baseball rad horn guy has no chill lol
Problem with the Hitler photo. He did not go with the Charlie Chaplin Mustache until he had been injured in a gas attack during the war. His larger mustache prevented his gas mask from properly sealing. He shaved his mustache to what we all know to prevent such an incident again.
For the hitler one.. I'm iffy.. because a lot of men had that type of mustache and that hair?
my friends say I'm demented cause I'll watch your vids like the 20 disturbing photos while eating lunch but eh i love the creepy stuff
The first photograph of a person is actually a photograph of 2 people. The man getting his shoes shined and the person polishing his shoes.
that one with Hitler is weird he didn't adopt that mustache style until the end of ww1 odd
1:38 dont worry about Casey Affleck sporting the caterpillar in the bottom right
Not necessarily "mind blowing". Interesting yes :)
In the last story, the 2nd baby she had while in the camp is her baby in the family photo.
The 1st photo of someone "flipping the bird" 1:22 is actually holding a cigar (they did that back then)
I must know the song names!!! please! Great vid btw(:

Tank man just walking around with his shopping. Seeing the tanks and is like fuck this..legend.
I stopped watching at the "flipping the bird picture" because it said that the gesture came from Italy in the 1890 and that is just completely wrong! Flipping the bird is a gesture that is at least 600 years old- if not older. The English use to train all their peasants as Bowmen, so when the French would capture an English Bowmen they would cut their Index/pointing finger off so they could no longer pull a bow and then they would send the Bowmen back in prisoner exchanges. And no they were not generally killed! Their lords would pay for them to be freed, it was to dangerous for them to go home if they refused an exchange/ ransom and they need them for their fields! And the French would not kill them because the English always had French prisoners and they knew they could trade them,. so they played nice. Same with camp followers and washer women. During the Crusades one of the most important things discussed when offering terms or talking peace was the washer women. The Muslims would be like we have X number of Knights and Y number of foot soldiers, Squires etc and the Europeans would be like yes yes...whatever! What do you want for the imitate return of our washer women?? Its seams weird to us for them to see the old lady's who did their laundry etc as so valuable. But think about it, these are warriors far from home so their camps, clothes etc probably got pretty disgusting pretty fast and they would have no clue how do any "woman's work" and even if they did, they would not do it -because they were warriors, knights etc. But back to the point, The jester with the middle finger was i sign of resistance, it was a way of saying...yeah Frenchmen you cut my index finger off, but i can still pull a bow with my mild finger! This is also the root of the two finger "up yours" jester that English people still uses to this day. Its has almost the same root meaning. So just like the 6 barrel pistol was called "the great equalize"r in the old west, two fingers and a Long Bow made a peasant equal to a Knight on the medieval battle field. Its a great Ango-American gesture and i am sure most people have no idea where it comes from. Well now you do.
thank you
Hitler with his well known mustache. Interesting that there is a story of why he had such a mustache. It is that he needed to get it trimmed in order to fit a gas mask. Busted.
"I used to be lost with the shufflers, now i shuffle along with the lost"
For the Adolph Hitler picture, to the left of him is a man who is looking directly at the camera.
The song that starts at 6:32 is Autumn Moods 4 by Andreas Boldt.
Found here: player.epidemicsound.com/#/search/tracks/?search_query=Andreas%20Boldt&sort=bpm&order=asc
I find the music I like, one way or another. -Especially from old videos by Alltime10s because they didn't add the song names n the older ones without them talking.-
My son has ADHD, ODD, and cannot read. Videos like this are great for only deaf or educated. Please NARRATE. Thanx!
The supposed picture of Hitler in the crowd is questionable at best. His actual war photos show him with a full mustache, not the short style everyone associates him as having. He shortened it to be able to get a better seal on his face when wearing a gas mask, (or so the story is told).This could be a picture of him AFTER WWI but not before.
Giving the finger to someone is definitely mind blowing.
That guy was probably flipping the camera off because his team is called the Boston Beaneaters...
You're telling me my man at 5:59 doesn't pee or poo?
GREAT video and very emotionally stirring ending!
In the photo of the guy not giving a nazi salute, he is not the only one, just the most obvious one.
Old Hoss was a inspiration to us all, just like Old Moony. We salute you both iili, 3
The first ever photograph of a person was taken 2000 years ago during the resurrection of Jesus.
The first one it could be a block-buster movie for sure!!
Wouldn't history have changed if that one man had shot hitler at the end of WW1. Just a nice British soldier I guess.
This was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. The tank man was incredible.
That baseball player flipping the bird is not flipping the bird. He is holding a cigar, which was not uncommon to smoke one while playing back then. It doesn't even slightly look like a finger
i have seen pix of Hitler when he served in WW1; he still had a handlebar mustache.
.I dont think this is him in 1914
+Felipe Cardoza the photo is included in the book "the coming of the third reich" by Richard J. Evans one of the most respected experts on the nazis

Second image looks too much like a cigar between his fingers than flipping the finger to camera guy. There is a gap down at base of his fingers and if it was his finger, there would be no gap. But if You are holding a cigar or pen/ pencil between your fingers I would expect to see that same gap. So I think the guy who said it was the finger needs to RECHECK this photo.
