I mistakenly labeled "The Man Who Refused to Salute" as a soldier, when in fact he was a naval yard worker. His identity is however disputed and it could have been either of two men working that day. They both had a story. I received so many comments that a separate deeper delve video into the story was warranted. That video is here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aIJro5l8cbK3g5s.html

My favourite was the man refusing to salute. It makes me wonder what was going through his mind and why he refused.......I'd like to think that he knew it was wrong, he hated Hitler and everything about him, and didn't want to join Hitler's army and serve under his commands.

Isn't that the crazy thing about these photos ? We have no idea of knowing what was going on in their mind. What if he was checking his mobile phone at the time and just missed the salute ???? .... (p.s. I'm aware mobile phones hadn't been invented yet, but it makes you think)

It was a Nazi rally because only a Nazi rally would have people saluting. They interviewed his daughter years after the war and she talked about him.

I think it's part of Human evolution to do so. Much of what we have, language, government structures etc. came from the Romans. The Romans learned directly from the Greeks, who were heavily influenced by the Egyptians. Most of what we and they did was built upon the pillars of the past !

0:42 Something about this simple image is so striking to me. I've seen pictures of the Mona Lisa nearly ad nauseum since birth, but to think that same painting has been through so many wars. SO MANY. Still, she survives. She will very likely have to go through more, and people will have to pack her away again just like this. Then those of us who survive will see her brought out to the light of day again. A sad life for a painting if you ask me.
