Paratroopers Of Easy Company Chilling At Adolf Hitler’s Home
The guys in the photo appear to be having a good time, but it’s even better than that! Taken in 1945, the men of Easy Company had been chilling at Adolf Hitler’s house in the Bavarian Alps. If you’ve seen the miniseries Band of Brothers, you’ll recognize this scene. Hitler amassed several residences throughout Europe, including this one in Obersalzberg, Bavaria. On the 25th of April, 1945, it was bombed. Only hours before the French 2nd Armored Division and the US 3rd Infantry Division entered it through the secret tunnels, SS troops set it on fire. The Allies rewarded themselves by looting the house and taking the remaining alcohol!

Vivien Leigh In The Role Of Scarlett O’Hara
Actress Vivien Leigh starred in Gone with the Wind even though she was English and no Southern Belle. In any case, this was a pivotal role in her career! People found her hysterical and difficult to work with once she arrived in Los Angeles for taping. She and her co-star Laurence Olivier thought the film would bomb at the time. He even told 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.”
