The speculation surrounding Hitler and his habits is largely due to the need for people to assign a cause to his behavior. There is also a great deal of conjecture regarding Hitler's psychological status, not least due to his hypochondriac status and chronic drug use. His doctor, Morell, administered anything that Hitler required and is said to also have been a particularly strange character, keeping samples of peculiar things, like peasant feces. It is even suggested that he injected Hitler with bull semen. The mixtures of drugs that were administered would often contradict each other, with the painkillers working as a laxative and the drugs for his irritable bowel syndrome working against this. There was even a suggestion that Hitler was being poisoned, as he had so many ailments that this was the natural conclusion. The reality of Hitler's lifestyle will always be of interest to the public as he is such an infamous character, but 100% of the truth may never be known.

Ghandi's presence today can be seen everywhere and his is certainly not a name that will be easily forgotten. His presence can be seen in the recent uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia and across other Middle East nations. US President Barack Obama has compared the non-violent protests that Egyptians used to force Mubarak to step down as a modern day tribute to Gandhi's methods. However, the criticisms of the fast by social activist Anna Hazare in 2011 question whether Gandhi's legacy is entirely a positive one as it could be considered as imposing governmental change through this behaviour. Anna Hazare has been described as a present day Gandhi and highly influential in Mumbai, although some of his views are considerably controversial. Ghandi's philosophy can be seen in political uprisings across the world and the non-violent resolutions that have come to pass can certainly be attributed to him.

Today Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with an embrace of Mexican culture and cuisine. Some cities across the world also celebrate with a Cinco de Mayo festival, showcasing Mexican food and drink, music and dancing. The Battle of Puebla is recognized as significant to this day as the Mexicans defeated a considerably larger French army with better equipment. In fact, the French army was approximately double the size of the Mexican army and had not been defeated for half a century.

One war poet who would live to see his success was Owen's close friend Siegfried Sassoon. Sassoon was another British soldier who was decorated for bravery during the war but whose poetry reflected grimly upon its horror. Sassoon, who had already been published as a poet prior to the outbreak of the conflict, also displayed a satirical edge in his work, underlining the folly and vanity of the powerful forces who he felt were driving the war for their own ends. Sassoon lived to be a feted and acclaimed writer, both of prose and poetry until his death at the age of 81 in 1967.

None of the sculptures appear to be marked with a title, date or dedication. They are merely there. Since the 1990s Yugoslavia officially lost its statehood and these monuments do not have one home. They share their home with Bosnia, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Herzegovina. Many patriotic visitors from the 1980s were regarding its beauty while now there are just artefacts waiting to be discovered. If governments do not claim them, they will have to wait until someone does.

Another jazz favourite, Harry James is caught singing with his partner Helen Forrest in the classic “It's been a long, long time.” Helen steals the fame in this song but reminds its listeners the power of jazz during this epic. Considering most first world homes at the time had a radio, the impact of a president's message and a resounding jazz session added to the significance of the Second World War period.

Auxiliary Territorial Service – Unmarried women were called upon after 1940 to join the ATS to do different service jobs for the military. These women between the ages of 20 and 30 took positions that the army was finding could not be filled, such as aircraft operators, military police or gun and machinery operation. A small number were sent with assignments abroad to France and Germany. Although by 1943, some married women were recruited, others who were pregnant or with small children were not permitted to join. Still existing today, the ATS formed part of the Women's Royal Army Corps in 1949.
