Fun with Baby :-))

Fun with Baby :-))
I did a double-take when I saw this contraption in a vintage shop in Bognor Regis. Thankfully, the "baby" turned out to be a realistic looking doll.

During WWII, babies had special gas-respirators like this one. When all the flaps were folded in place and the straps fastened the baby was totally enclosed. Filtered air was then pumped in by hand.

Leo W, Xata, Jean Paul Capdeville, Colin Ashcroft and 23 other people have particularly liked this photo

An intriguing and shocking photograph that cannot be indifferent to anyone's eyes. Contrast the protection of our babies in the past with the unflattering future that awaits those of today. Warm greetings, Anton.

I don't suppose this was ever used - thank goodness. I remember my pink Micky Mouse gas mask. Horrible thing it was, and only used a couple of times in practice sessions, which I don't remember.

I've never seen one in real life before, just in pictures and at first glance it looked so realistic with the toy baby..!!

C'est peut-être ce qui nous attend, si les Ukrainiens ne tiennent pas... ;-(((

That's a touch pessimistic Jean-luc...............but who knows!

I don't know it you've seen the news about the terrorist attack in Moscow, which ISIS has claimed it carried out (and their claim seems to have been confirmed by US intelligence), but the FSB are already claiming that the terrorists were backed by Ukraine!
