Paratroopers Of Easy Company Chilling At Adolf Hitler’s Home
The men in the photo look like they were having a great time, but it is even better than you think! Taken in 1945, the men of Easy Company had been chilling at Adolf Hitler’s house in the Bavarian Alps. If you have seen Band of Brothers, you will see this particular scene in the miniseries. Hitler amassed many homes across Europe, including this one in the Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden, Bavaria. It was bombed on the 25th of April 1945. On May 4, SS troops lit it on fire only hours before the French 2nd Armored Division and the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division entered it through the secret tunnels. The Allied men rewarded themselves by taking the remaining alcohol and looting the home!

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. At any rate, this role defined her career! After she got to Los Angeles for taping, people found her manic and hard to work with. Back then, she and her partner Laurence Olivier thought that the movie was going to flop. 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.”
