Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

What's the original caption?

[–] virku@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wasn't this taken during the initial German invasion of Paris in ww2?

You are correct. They’re watching Nazis march victoriously into Paris.

Damn. I was chuckling at the image and now I feel kind of bad.

Guy on the far right is sus.

The woman to the left is clapping. Who's going to show up to a nazi parade? Sympathizers.

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Fascists are everywhere. Just wait until she finds out agreeing with them doesn’t mean she’s a member of their club.

Younger woman to the left of her knows what is coming.

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sorry, my bad. I love taking horrible or sad historical photos and tweaking them.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No clue. Hence the question.

I guess I shouldn't have framed my insecurity as a question. But I looked it up now and I was right. It was taken during the invasion of Paris.

That guy: So happy I don't have to make Croque Madams for my family of 6 anymore

Damn, those are better than McDonald's, though...

[–] MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Very labor intensive though

The original plan was to open up a Burger King, but in the end they knew better.
