The Reunion Of Two German Brothers After The Border Pass Agreement

Take a look at this incredible photo of two German brothers. When the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961, nobody could cross the border. This remained true until a border pass agreement was passed in 1963. This allowed people to cross from West Berlin to the eastern side of the city. This was not a perfect solution, although it did not offer relief to those who felt helpless. For two years, some people could not see their family at all. The wall finally collapsed 25 years after this.

Mata Hari Blew The French Firing Squad A Kiss

Mata Hari had such a great story that we want to show her to you one more time. She was a dancer who became a spy during the Great War. This woman combined espionage and sexuality in her pursuits. Before she made it big, she was already talented at impersonation. Early on, she masqueraded as Lady MacLeod, the child of an English lord despite using an Eastern style of dancing. While her spy days are iconic, it did not last very long. In the end, she died at the hands of a firing squad on the 15th of October 1917. Apparently, she did not wear a blindfold and blew a kiss to the men before they took her life.
