One of the last known images of battleship Yamato moments after a rapid explosion consumed the ship during the failed Operation Ten-Go. Over 200 American planes attacked the ship and she would be battered by a nearly endless barrage of torpedoes and high explosive bombs. A little over 3,000 men went down with the ship with only around 100-200 being saved.
The photo was taken from an American aircraft departing the scene after the ship was destroyed.

The moment two trains collided head-on at full speed as part of a publicity stunt known as the Crash at Crush. Both engine boilers exploded after the collision; flying debris killed two people and injured several more (including the man who took this photo, who was left blind in one eye).

Here's Beethoven's Third Symphony: Sinfonia Eroica.
Thing is, Beethoven's 3rd wasn't always called Eroica. It used to have the title Bonaparte. Ludwig was a real big fan of Napoleon and the whole republicanism thing . However, when Napoleon declared himself emperor in 1804, Beethoven totally chimped out.
From Wikipedia, Beethoven's secretary:

Here's the title page with Bonaparte autistically scratched out.

Johann Reichhart, German executioner who beheaded over 3,000 people, including Sophie and Hans Scholl.
The top hat and tux really rustle my jimmies. Not even execution is immune to being made into an efficient science by autistic, unfeeling Teutons.

If I were an executioner, I too would wear a tux and top hat.

I'm currently obsessed with the peoples of ancient Italy; when Rome was a tiny state surrounded by dozens of rival kingdoms, republics, colonies, and tribal confederations
You have the Etruscans from modern day Tuscany, who would have a tremendous impact on early Roman culture.
The Ligurians from what is now Genoa, an ancient people that predate the Indo-European migration like the Basques. Heavily influenced by both Celts and Etruscans.
The Veneti, who lived near modern day Venice. Longstanding allies of the Romans who defeated a Spartan invasion. They wore weird cone helmets.
The Samnites of central southern Italy, a constant thorn in the side of Rome for centuries, who would side with Hannibal in the Second Punic War. The pila, the infamous javelin of the Roman legionnaires, is derived from the javelins used by the Samnites.
The Lucanians of southern Italy, who defeated an invasion by Alexander of Epirus, Alexander the Great's uncle and brother in law (yeah...blegh)
There's many other peoples, like the Rhaetians, who were Etruscan refugees who fled to modern day Switzerland in the face of Celic migration. Or the hilltop fortress dwelling Umbrians. Or the "slave revolt" Bruttians. However, there isn't as much cool art for these peoples.

As much I don't care for Rome TW 2, I do like the Rise of Rome campaign and how it gives people an understanding of the cultures of ancient Italy.

Reading a wargaming magazine brought this to my attention and it was too funny to pass up posting here.
I bring you: the Eurymedon vase. An ancient Greek wine jug made shortly after the coalition of Greek city states defeated Xerxes and the Persian Empire. Circa 460 BC.
Pictured on one side of the vase: a terrified Persian warrior; wide eyed, his butt cheeks quivering in fear.
The other side? A naked Greek wielding a boner with ill intent, chasing the Persian.
Finally, during the vase's restoration this inscription was discovered:
"I am Eurymedon, I stand bent forward"

Soviet troops holding captured German banners and insignia during the 1945 Victory parade in Moscow. They'd then march past Lenin's mausoleum and disdainfully toss the banners in front of it.

Attic red-figure pottery is some great shit of the ancient world. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a great collection of this stuff if you ever get the chance. (That one's in Germany though.)

That’s a still taken from a CGI recreation done for ‘Air Crash Investigations’. The actual accident took place in a heavy fog.
The last known image of the two planes is actually this:
