Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
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 images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
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.

Eliminating the doubt in the current date range of 1940-48, this is the 1948 Open Golf Championship, played between 30th June and 2nd July 1948.
"Lyle" is Walter Lyle.
"Charles Ward" played under the name Charlie Ward.
"Claud Harmon" should read Claude Harmon.
Note that the commentator is impressed that Norman von Nida "has won more than £1000 prize money in the last 12 months"!
"Fred Daley" should read Fred Daly.
Thanks jamied.
