  deuy chevaux 2cv

  Size: 85 × 215 × 75
  Material: Kent paper (overseas magazine Life)
  Year completed: 2010
  The French civilian car Citroen 2CV became widespread after WW2, and its humorous design became loved in Europe and the rest of the world. However, during WW2, France was occupied by Nazi Germany and the Citroen company came under control of the Nazis. Being discontent that the 2CV was being used by many Nazis at the time, many of the cars still in production were either destroyed or buried in the factory's walls and underground by Citroen itself to stop the Nazis from using them. Since the war, several buried 2CVs from that time have been found.

  By the way, 2CV means two horsepower. It was named this so that it would fall into the taxation category of basic automobile taxation in France. In reality though, the car isn’t only two horsepower, this is more of a pet name.

  Said to be the biggest and strongest battleship of its time, “Battleship Yamato” was made with the finest technologies of the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was named after ancient Japan and it also has the country’s shape. It was called the “unsinkable battleship”, the unsinkable iron castle.
  However, the ship was left behind the times before it could even show its power. It was sunken on April 7, 1945 at northern latitude 30 degrees 43 minutes 47 seconds east longitude 128 degrees 04 minutes 00 seconds 176 km South from Meshima of Danjo Islands, Nagasaki prefecture. That large hull is silently sleeping 345m under the depth of the ocean, along with the story of 3332 crewmen, praying never to wake up again.

  In those days, rocket technology was high-tech, but it wasn’t about rockets aimed for space, it was about rockets that did “body blows to an enemy ship” referred to as kamikaze soldier rockets.
  Many engineers lament, as many young pilots had sacrificed themselves in these metal coffins, those wounds won't vanish. It’s left us feelings of regret and that life is precious.
  However, the records will diminish, the memories will fade, and the reality is it soon regrettably coming to be nothing. It's fact this should not be buried into history, even if the wound is opened, this history must be passed on and remembered.

  This is not the history of the cold war, but a different one, one of people’s dreams and of hope.
  Space development.
  The U.S. Soviet Union Space Race.
  U.S., Wernher von Braun.
  Soviet Union, Sergei Korolev.
  The dream of these two people was flight into space and to the moon. They utilized troops and the military technology to materialize their dream and push forward their nation.
  This military technology was used for a peaceful mean, not for the cold battles of the cold war, but for the space competition, a hot, exciting, and intense dream.
  This is the history of two things and two peoples dreams.
