Historical Photos To Blow Your Mind: New Release!

Faces of War

This woman has a gas-resistant stroller. This was England, in 1938. It’s horrifying to think of raising a baby in such conditions, isn’t it? During the war, English citizens living in big cities were often huddled in bomb shelters during the Blitz. Gas masks were also commonly worn.

The year this photo was taken was the year Germany occupied the Sudetenland. Prime Minister chamberlain was trying to appease Hitler, but everyone knew war was on the horizon. While this woman’s invention was a genius way to protect her baby, the scary looking gas resistant baby carriage never really took off.
