world war two

We bid farewell to an unwitting feminist hero thought to be the model for an iconic poster from World War Two.

The poster showed a woman in a red bandana, flexing her bicep. It wasn't until the 80s that Geraldine Doyle recognized her face.

In 1942, a photographer had come to metal factory where she was working.

Officials in a Polish town wanted to cut down a tree to make way for a traffic circle. It was discovered that the oak was planted in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War Two to mark Adolf Hitler's birthday.

One elderly resident told Reuters "It's not the tree's fault that it was planted to honor the biggest criminal and enemy of Poland."
