Historical Photos To Blow Your Mind: New Release!

Nice Wheel

The Dynasphere was a “monowheel” built in 1932 that could travel up to 25 miles an hour. The monowheel was supposed to replace traditional automotive vehicles. The monowheel was patented in 1930 by J.A. Purves, but it was actually based on a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci. While Purves was optimistic about his invention’s prospects, the Dynasphere didn’t succeed.

As a mode of transportation, the vehicle could reduce locomotion to the simplest form, but this “high-speed vehicle of the future” was also impossible to steer or break. The driver could also get thrashed around inside the monowheel like a gerbil. The Dynasphere definitely isn’t taking over anytime soon.

Joke’s on Hitler

Here is a photograph of Allied forces mocking Adolf Hitler from atop his balcony at the Reich Chancellery at the end of WWII. The photo was taken on July, 6 1945 by Fred Ramage after the final victory over Nazi Germany was achieved.

In the photo, Russian and American armies laugh and mock Adolf Hitler and his hateful ideology on his balcony at the Chancellery in conquered Berlin, Germany. The photo was taken a few months after Hitler committed suicide to avoid facing up to his war crimes on April 30, 1945. He took cyanide with his wife, Eva Braun, and shot himself in the head.
