Kingseat. I was working in the area and was curious about the nearby staff settlement so I looked up the aerials on retrolens. There's about 10 high detail ones of the hospital grounds that must have been ordered specially.

For anyone interested in the subject, I recommend The Clones Cast. One host which is a total expert on all things Bruce Lee and Brucesploitation, and one host who is new to the subject. It's truly a fascinating world, with Bruce slowly shifting from being an actor to becoming a character over the course of the phenomenon.

Bruce Lee has just died, but the BSI is swinging into action to salvage the situation. Aided by the brilliant Professor Lucas, cells from the martial arts master’s body are removed and grown into three adult Bruce Lee clones. After undergoing training to bring their skills up to the level of their ‘father’, the three are sent out to battle crime, with one sent to take on a gold smuggler, and the other two teaming up to shut down an evil mad scientist.

There's a famous picture of the HMS Sussex after a kamikaze hit on her armoured belt.





It looks so perfect I'd normally say it was a photoshop, but there's several pictures of the same looney tunes rear end plane outline from multiple angles.

I started watching back through Cheers the other day, and got curious about all the old photos used in the opening. I could not find a single website or blog where someone has tracked them all down. Lazy, god for nothing internet.

In the middle of March, 1945, I was approached by Lt. Shubow, our Jewish chaplain. He planned to conduct Passover services, and since I was the only Jewish cook in the battalion, would I supervise the food arrangements.

The next two weeks were hectic. We had been moving through Germany and finally stopped at München Gladbach. I solicited all canned goods from our Jewish soldiers and they responded generously. Since army kitchens worked primarily with frozen, canned, and dehydrated foods, I passed the word to our scroungers that I needed fresh potatoes. I soon had a truckload.

Erev Pesach came and our chaplain directed our convoy several miles to an imposing building called “Schloss Reydt.” This was Goebbels’ castle.
Directly off the veranda, where I set up two gasoline camp-stoves, was a gigantic banquet room that would easily accommodate the 300 GIs I would feed. On one wall was a picture of Hitler and one of my buddies had scrawled “Kaput” across it. For the next two or three hours I was too busy to deal with emotions. They came later. While I was frying latkes a fellow came by and inquired what I was doing. I offered him some pancakes while I explained our presence. Evidently the latkes agreed with him. He kept eating them and asking me lots of questions and that night his story flew across the Atlantic cable, and my parents were interviewed by Time and the papers, and WEVD, and they planted trees for me in Israel, and my mother, rest her soul, discovered that I had lied to her. I wasn’t having a great time in Paris after all. However, as mothers will, she forgave me.

When all the latkes were fried and eaten, I joined my comrades in the Passover songs. We had seen the atrocities and now we were savoring some small measure of vengeance and victory.
