Paratroopers Of Easy Company Chilling At Adolf Hitler’s Home
Even though the guys in the photo appear to be having a good time, it’s even better! The men of Easy Company were chilling at Adolf Hitler’s house in the Bavarian Alps when this photo was taken in 1945. This scene will be familiar to anyone who has seen the miniseries Band of Brothers. Hitler amassed a number of homes across Europe, including this one in Obersalzberg, Bavaria. It was bombed on the 25th of April, 1945. SS troops set it on fire just hours before the French 2nd Armored Division and the US 3rd Infantry Division entered through the secret tunnels. The Allies retaliated by looting the house and stealing the remaining booze!

Vivien Leigh In The Role Of Scarlett O’Hara
Even though she was English and had no Southern Belle, actress Vivien Leigh starred in Gone with the Wind. In any case, this was a crucial role in her professional life! When she arrived in Los Angeles for taping, people thought she was hysterical and difficult to work with. At the time, she and her co-star Laurence Olivier thought the film would be a flop. He even noted to her, “You have got to justify yourself in the next two or 3 films (or even 2 or 3 years) by proving that the presumable failure of Gone W.T.W. was not your fault and you can only do that by being really good in the following parts. To make a success of your career in pictures [is] ESSENTIAL for your self-respect, and our ultimate happiness, therefore. … If you don’t, I am afraid you may become just — well boring.”
