Craftime in Wartime

Dec. 28, 2011

political pictures - world war ii -pow - Craftime in Wartime

This cross-stitch above was done in 1941 by Major Alexis Casdagli in a Nazi prisoner of war camp, just like it says. What it doesn’t say is that the dots and dashes inside the border around the swastikas and Soviet hammer and sickles are Morse code for “God save the King,” and “F**k Hitler.” I never thought I would say this about needlework, but, badass.

World War II in Color

Aug. 10, 2011

political pictures - World War II in Color

From The Atlantic

In 1942, soon after the United States entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order creating the Office of War Information (OWI). The new agency was tasked with releasing war news, promoting patriotic activities, and providing news outlets with audio, film, and photos of the government’s war efforts. Between 1939 and 1944, the OWI and the Farm Security Administration made thousands of photographs, approximately 1,600 of them in color. OWI photographers Alfred Palmer and Howard Hollem produced some exceptional Kodachrome transparencies in the early war years depicting military preparedness, factory operations, and women in the work force. While most of the scenes were posed, the subjects were the real thing — soldiers and workers preparing for a long fight. Gathered here are some of these color images from Palmer and Hollem, complete with original captions from 1942.

Blunt and Insensitive?

Jun. 21, 2011

political pictures - james blunt - The Blunt of the Joke

British singer James Blunt is being criticized for posting this photo of himself near a broken down building near to former Nazi prison camp Auschwitz with the caption, “Uh, this is my hotel in Poland.” It is unclear whether or not the singer knew about his proximity to the former Nazi death camp, but as publications have pointed out, Blunt actually has five-star accommodations for the duration of his trip. So he might not be making a joke at the expense of holocaust victims, but he probably is a jerk.
