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).

Fun fact: They had to use hydrogen instead of helium because the US had a monopoly on helium at the time and had a law against exporting it to Germany.
Also almost half of the people onboard survived, giving it historically high survival rates for an aircraft crashing on land.
