History

Sunglasses were first designed in china in 12th century. Protection was not the purpose here. It was designed for judges in courtroom to hide their facial expression while questioning witnesses. They were made from smoky quartz.

The West Case: In 1903 two men named William West and Will West happened to be in the same prison Leavenworth, Kansas. They never met before imprisonment. They both look very identical with nearly same measurements. It was difficult to identify them with old Bertillon system. They are the reason, today fingerprints are used as identification.. 

Hiding things is not new, we all hide things from enemies and so did History ....... but the way was new.
After Pearl Harbour attack, West Coast (USA) was the next possible target of Japanese. USA decided to hide one of its war-time factories where approximately 7500 B-17 flying machines were being manufactured. A Hollywood set designer John made a Fake Roof Top Town on the Douglas Aircraft Company and decorated it with fake Roads, Vehicles, Houses, Gardens and even residents. Amazing Right? But after all this work, Japanese never made it to West coast. The entire town was dismantled and forgotten after the war.

Inside the Factory  

• World War II-Stalingrad was one big mistake of Hitler. Because of Bad climate, vast soviet geographical Area and Scorched earth policy by retreating Russians, advancing Germans were left without food, Shelter and natural resources. Many diseases spread out. Diarrhea was very common of them. German soldiers suffered from irregular bowel movements average 30 times a day. The Fun came out from their chosen method of making it easy by not removing their trousers so that they don’t die of cold. They unstitched their trousers from butt and kept it open so all they have to do is bend a little.

• How many of us know that during the war of Stalingrad- World War II Russians used Dogs with explosives to attack German Tanks. They used their own tanks to train the Dogs. Well, Smart Soviets but not their Dogs. Since dogs were familiar with Russian tanks they often ran under Russian tanks and BOOM.-

       Who let the dogs out? BOOM..BOOM..BOOM..

• In 1932 Australian Farmers faced real bad time with their crops. Their problems increased tenfold due to migration of 25000 Emus. The action taken by Ozzie WWI soldiers sounds little absurd today. They started a war against Emus and fired 2500 Round of ammunition and null Emu was slayed. Emus won” ” The Great Emu war “.
