2. Douglas MacArthur signing the official Japanese surrender instrument aboard the USS Missouri, 1945.
3. Hitler inspecting the massive 800mm “Schwerer Gustav” railway gun from afar. It was the largest-caliber rifled weapon ever used in combat, and fired the heaviest shells of any artillery piece.
4. George Armstrong Custer (with his dog) and some of his fellow soldiers, during the American Civil War.
5. Manfred von Richthofen, aka “The Red Baron”, petting his dog on an airfield.
6. Tsar Nicholas II goofing around with his friend in 1899.
