Sale of American motor cars. Location of events unknown, but probably somewhere in the USA
Pathe's note: Sale of American motor cars. Interior large building - garage. Dark. Pan left looking out over room with boxy looking military cars lined up in long rows; several men stand between a couple cars in FG; and a man stands on top of one; filming. Brief shot looking over heads of crowd at a platform; and raised podium with man speaking; a sign in front announces Lot Selling. More panning over the audience prospective buyers; some guys in FG sitting on some ledge right by camera.
Pan left; sign above platform on wall Auction Sale. and continue pan around -- whole wall of windows above crowd. And along this wall a row of ambulances with Red Cross emblems. People walking in aisle looking. Ground level shot of old cars; pan rt; looking down aisle with men walking back & forth. Looks to be war surplus being sold after war.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
