Before the Berlin Wall was known as the Berlin Wall, it was first constructed from scratch. This recently declassified picture shows construction was still being done to separate West Berlin from East Berlin as well as West Germany back in 1961.
The building of the wall marked the start of the Cold War and thus initiated the divide between Russia and the United States. Eventually, the Berlin Wall was taken down in 1989.
Secret Mission
The United States government was involved in numerous missions all designed to further its stronghold. One such mission has been labeled “Operation Highjump” – its objective was to create a classified military research facility within the Arctic region.
Another goal of the facility was to use it as a base to easily spy on Russia. This recently declassified picture shows a ship of the United States Navy stuck between the Arctic’s two icebergs.
The Queen in the Military
Not many people know that the Queen did military service for the English government. Similar to what her grandchildren William and Harry did – both of whom served for the British Forces – the Queen did so as well.
This declassified picture shows the late Queen Elizabeth donning a military uniform as those belonging to the Women’s Auxiliary Service should. Reportedly, the Queen was often promoted while doing service for the British government.
The 1972 Moon Landing
Some could not wrap their heads around the fact that the last moon landing occurred in 1972, and none has been done since. As shown in this declassified picture of Apollo 17 as it was landing on the moon, this was the last mission to ever reach space.
Despite technological advances in the field of space travel, no mission has yet to reach the moon anew. This detail further empowers conspiracy theorists to think that no moon mission occurred at all.
Fat Man Before Nagasaki
This chilling declassified picture shows the infamous Fat Man before it was dropped in the Japanese city of Nagasaki. This American technician is doing the final check on the bomb by applying sealant.
However, there was not just one Fat Man the United States Government built for the occasion. There were actually four identical atomic bombs created in case one failed to explode.
