The first modern flushable toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harrington. He installed one for his godmother, Queen Elizabeth I. His invention included a water tank and a flush valve. However, the flush toilet wouldn't become popular for another 250 years. Most toilets in Medieval Europe were either holes in the ground, communal outhouses, or chamber pots.

If you were fortunate and born into considerable wealth, you might have used a garderobe (derived from the French word for "wardrobe"). These were small rooms built adjacent to the walls of medieval castles. The toilet was connected to a vertical shaft that extended down to the ground.

With Soviet forces pushing into East Prussia on January 21st, 1945, Hitler gave orders to unearth the lead coffins of Hindenburg and his spouse. Alongside some regimental emblems from the tomb, they were carefully relocated for safekeeping. The coffins, including those of Kaiser Wilhelm I and King Frederick II of Prussia (Frederick the Great), were initially transferred to a bunker near Berlin and later to a salt mine close to the village of Bernterode in Thuringia, Germany. Using red crayon, the contents of the coffins were swiftly identified and placed behind a solid 6-foot-thick wall in a deep corner of the extensive 14-mile mine, buried 1,800 feet underground.

Grande Guillotte, 23 year-old-French girl collaborated with the Germans in Normandy. When her town was taken by Allied troops, French "patriots" dragged her from her house and cut off all her hair. A Frenchman cuts off Grande Guillotte’s hair while another holds her in France on July 7, 1944.
