This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

This definitely more than mildly interesting.
The missing Vichy period is sus.
If we're talking about Paris, it wasn't part of Vichy France, but was directly occupied by Germany.
Don't mention the war!
I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it all right.
This is very interesting. Would love to see versions of different cities.
Detroit would be a bit of a journey:
Empty - Small Shack - Huge Skyscraper - Dilapidated Ruin - Empty.
Is there a hi-res version of this somewhere?

Not sure if it qualifies, but might help with finding.

It was a great year.
I feel like key parts of history happened between 1889 & 1968.
Is that Mary Poppins at 1600?
Good eye!
I don't see an umbrella, though; she might just be jumping to her death.
It could be a reference to 1572. The so called St Barthelemy Massacre.
"Je suis Charlie."

Ship of Theseus am I right
