Today we come to a collection of old photographs from the early to mid-20th centuries, each with its own unique history behind it.
Pictured is Einstein with his lover Margarita Konekuva. As we all know, Einstein was a great scientist, but what many people don't know is that he was also a very emotional person, a personable person throughout his life, which made many women obsessed with him.
After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union took advantage of his weakness and sent Margarita, who had a slender body, a delicate face and an elegant temperament, and sure enough, this woman instantly fascinated Einstein for her. In 1949, the Soviet atomic bomb was successfully detonated, and Margarita's intelligence was instrumental.
In Normandy, France, in 1944, a local woman pours water for a British soldier fighting on the street during an Anglo-German war.
At that time, the Anglo-American coalition of 2.88 million people, one step ahead of the Germans, crossed the English Channel, landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, directly opened up a second land battlefield in Europe, and accelerated the victory in World War II.
Pictured in Lashio, Burma on March 15, 1945, Captain Gerald of the U.S. Army on the left and Captain Howard on the right, came out of the rubble with them, and in the middle was a friend of their Chinese army.
In 1942, the Republic of China sent 9 divisions and nearly 100,000 people into Burma to expedition against the Japanese army in accordance with the Treaty of the Allied Powers. This was the first time that Chinese troops had gone abroad to fight, and by the time they withdrew to China in April 1945, a total of more than 49,000 Japanese troops had been wiped out, but the Chinese army had also suffered 67,000 casualties.
On June 30, 1943, a Chinese soldier was shooting bullets at a Japanese bomber coming at an incoming Japanese bomber at a U.S. military airfield in China.
After the "July 7 Incident", the Nationalist army began to repair airports in North China, and expanded dozens of airports in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Liangguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Gansu and other areas. It was not until 1943, during the Battle of Changde, that the Chinese Air Force began to cooperate with ground forces in carrying out counter-offensives, and the Japanese army continued to launch an offensive in order to seize these airfields.
A group of Chinese fighting alongside American soldiers in Nanning, Guangxi, on June 13, 1945, dragged out a mud-soaked Douglas C-47 transport plane.
They had just taken the airfield from the Japanese, and the ground was filled with densely packed bomb craters.
Pictured here is a Vietnamese female agent. When the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out, the biggest headache for the PLA was not the Vietnamese army, but these female agents, who disguised themselves in a variety of ways, like ordinary people and soldiers, and sometimes did not wear underwear in order to achieve their goals.
Some of the soldiers turned around, did not dare to look, and if they neglected, they would be killed.
The picture shows the Sichuan Stone Buddha Field in 1917, a young man in order to catch the market, carrying 13,500 copper plates, of course, this is definitely not a show of wealth.

Pictured in Paris, France on August 29, 1944, the girl is a member of an Allied patrol searching for German snipers hiding in the vicinity.
