Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt (22 May 1878 – 23 May 1960), commonly known by the title Rustam-e-Hind and by the ring name The Great Gama, was a pehlwani wrestler and strongman in British India and later, Pakistan. In the early 20th century, he was an undefeated wrestling champion of British India.

The democratically elected prime minister of Iran who supported the Shah's ouster by referendum, Mohammed Mossadegh, would be overthrown by a coup sponsored by the UK and USA shortly after this.

Struck by 2 kamikaze planes and set alight. I seem to have a cropped version, as there's one with a destroyer on the right side.

Anyway, like most kamikaze accounts, it's hard to believe so few planes (just 2 plane crashes) can do such tremendous damage and sometimes bring down massive ships built to withstand hits from large caliber guns.

@PugJesus@lemmy.world I hope this is ok even though it's a video. It seems like the perfect community for it. Totally understand if you delete it.

Anyway...

This is a bizarre short musical film telling Americans what to do in an air raid, obviously made shortly after America entered WWII. I thought it was absolutely fascinating and the sort of bit of history none of us would have known about otherwise, which is why I decided to post it.

It was apparently a song by Tony Pastor and his Orchestra and was also released as a record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPDuBfze5PU

I cannot find much more information about it. Even the Wikipedia page on Tony Pastor is not very helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Pastor_(bandleader)

It's most likely from 1984 because it's an episode mostly about the Olympics. Donkey Kong debuted in 1982 and that would probably have been too early to feature it on the show in time and 1986 would have been a little late for Donkey Kong.

That said, 1982 is definitely a possibility. Or even a different year if they decided to do an Olympics episode in an off-year. Unfortunately, the website regarding the episode doesn't say.

Edit: Thanks to rrconkle@lemmy.zip for getting the year right!
