As is this passport from 1938 with a Nazi stamp on it.
This is what Confederate money looked like.
This is an example of a Civil War-era envelope.
This 1906 birth certificate (reprinted in 2005) is super weird to see, especially because the birthplace is listed as "on the water coming over."
Here's what 1944 war ration books looked like during WWII.
This is a handmade diploma a prisoner of war in a Nazi camp was given when he was finally transferred out.
This person was lucky enough to find a handwritten letter from King George from 1918, sent to a WWI veteran.

George R.I."
Here's a newspaper from after JFK was killed.

This Japanese map of South America from 1932 shows Japanese perceptions of the continent in an interesting and slightly racist way.

An das Polizeipräsidium Mannheim,
Ich bitte Sie freundlichst mir die jetzige Adresse des Herrn (Franz Wule Obering?), ehemals wohnhaft in Mannheim, Schanzenstraße 28, mitzuteilen. Im Vorraus besten Dank!
Heil Hitler!
Anlage: 2 Briefmarken
To the police presidency (I don't have a clue how to translate Präsidium, it's something like a main police station for the city), I kindly ask you for the current adress of Mr. Franz Wule Obering who formerly lived in Mannheim, Schanzenstraße 28. Thanks a lot in advance.
Heil Hitler
Two stamps attached.
Can't read the signage and not too sure about the Name Franz Wule Obering, could be Franz Werle, too.
Signage could be Bertl Gerich...
Polizeipräsidium would be a Policeheadquarters in English
That was obviously too easy, thanks
I would say you've got both names right.

That's just one of the wannabe dictators lies, but you stopped looking at the real world some time ago, didn't you?
Not a lie at all. A simple Google search will tell you that. Or if you’ve actually paid attention you would know.
You’re either a liar or stupid.
Why so condescending?
I see you got your left wing talking points.
You can't reason with a Leftist, Chan. When faced with verifiable facts, all they do is double-down on their 'belief perseverance.' They're cowards that despise truth because it hurts their feelings. They call Trump a dictator even though he's never done anything dictatorial. While conversely, Biden and his handlers are text-book dictators in their covert and overt dismantling of The American Way.
