Louis Armstrong in Egypt
Louis Armstrong In Egypt
This is a legendary photo: the Giza Sphinx with Loius Armstrong playing the trumpet right at its feet and snapped by an Egyptian man. We love the juxtaposition of the icons, one of the ancient world, and the other of the modern one. We hope that the Sphinx enjoyed this performance, as did the pharoas in the nearby pyramids! Armstrong’s tour of Egypt was received with an incredible euphoria and warmth from its people.
The Moment Hitler Declared War on the US
The Moment Hitler Declared War On The US
With everyone in uniformed attendance, Hitler formally announces his declaration of war on the US in 1941, in this unedited historical photograph. This event occurred only days after Pearl Harbor, following America’s declaration of war on Japan. Hitler then rushed into his own declaration against the US, unprompted and without consulting his leadership. This then led to a series of catastrophic defeats for Hitler, where Germany found itself being herded out of Western Europe.
