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).

Actual photo history: This story is kind of cool, basically he rescues a pilot from drowning, then gets back to man his station as machine gunner without bothering to dress and then thr plane takes off all while under fire.

I mean, priorities are priorities, and getting some clothes definitely wasn't one in that situation

But taking a photo apparently was one.

I find it kinda funny how there's a "This is the enemy" sign. It sounds like it's part of a tutorial.
