The First Stanley Cup

The Montreal Hockey Club of the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (AHAC) was the first team to officially win the Stanley Cup on March 17, 1893. Donated in 1892 by the Governor General of Canada,  Lord Stanley of Preston, the Stanley Cup was to be awarded to the amateur hockey team that finished their season with the best record. Today's version of the cup features several layers of rings bearing the names of players on the winning teams, topped off by the original bowl, which can be seen in this picture.

Together Forever

On April 30, 1945, with Allied troops closing in, Adolf Hitler is pictured with his wife Eva Braun. The couple married that day, and shortly after they would both commit suicide in Hitler's bunker. Braun would do so by biting on a cyanide capsule, while Hitler shot himself.
