1. Humanity isn’t nearly as civilized and humane as we like to think. Some of us are just monsters. Pictured: Nazi soldier murdering a Jewish woman and child, Ivanhorod, Ukraine, 1942.
2. Fanatics of any kind should not be allowedanywhere near political and military power.Pictured: Hitler decorates child soldiers outside the Fuhrerbunker, 1945.
3. Never underestimate Russia! Pictured: Soviet soldier Eryemenko yelling “Attack!”, seconds before being fatally wounded.
4. Military pacts and alliances amount next to nothing when shit gets real. Former allies can easily become worst enemies, and viceversa.Pictured: a German and a Soviet officer shake hands after the Invasion of Poland.
5. Nuclear weapons should never, never-ever, never-ever-ever be used. Pictured: Hiroshima after nuclear blast.
6. Corporations will stop at nothing to make money.
7. “Ordinary” people can be more heroic and brave than one would expect. Pictured: Simone Segouin (a.k.a. Nicole), a 19 year-old farmer’s daughter turned French Partisan, who captured 25 Nazis in the Chartres area, in addition to liquidating others.
