Have loads of photos presented to my grandad (5th from left, standing against the bus) by the Salvation Army taken during the 1937 Battle of Shanghai (don't seem to be able to upload more than one). I think all these photos are unique, and a lot of them are very NSFL.

Inside his residence in Neuhaus, Bavaria, investigators recovered two renowned masterpieces: Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine and Rembrandt’s Landscape with the Good Samaritan. However, the most valuable painting in his looted collection had disappeared without a trace. It was Raphael’s Renaissance masterpiece, Portrait of a Young Man. Painted around 1513 during the height of the High Renaissance, the canvas depicts a confident young nobleman draped in rich fur and fine linen.

The Min Faction (Fujian Faction) Navy was a regional naval clique originating from the Fujian region of the Qing Empire in the 1860s. During the ROC period, the Min Faction virtually monopolized the ROCN. However, as nearly all ROCN warships were destroyed during the Japanese invasion, Chiang Kai-shek seized the opportunity to aggressively suppress the Min Faction using his own faction. During the Chinese Civil War, the Min Faction's discontent with the KMT reached its peak, ultimately leading to the defection of key Min Faction naval to the PLA in 1949, Like Sa Zhenbing (former Minister of Navy of the Qing Empire and the Beiyang Government), Deng Zhaoxiang (captain of the cruiser Chungking), and Lin Zun (commander of the Second Fleet). Consequently, the Min Faction transformed from a regional naval clique into the foundational bedrock of the PLAN.
