I don't get the solid white face masks, that's how I first spotted them.

Pretty cool video

The actual coat worn by admiral Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 with the hole in the shoulder caused by the musket ball that killed him.

that a pretty high non organ wound. he must have died from infection or the dude that shot him was in a tree

"A musket bullet fired from the mizzentop of Redoutable struck Nelson in the left shoulder, passed through his spine at the sixth and seventh thoracic vertebrae, and lodged two inches below his right scapula in the muscles of his back. Nelson exclaimed, 'They finally succeeded, I am dead.'"

"thoracic vertebrae compose the middle segment of the vertebral column"

So either it was almost a vertical shot down into his shoulder, or the slug deflected against his collar or shoulder bone. "From the mizzentop" means it was likely a high vertically down shot into his shoulder. Someone was aiming directly at him from high. Ouch!...

that sounds painful. he got shot downward through his body. fuck that

Wonder if that was taken before or after the underwear change.

that almost looks fake. i mean, first of all, whatever kind of bullet hit that propeller, it came from the same direction that the plane would be flying, so he was shot in the propeller blade from behind. And second, as fast as that prop is probably flying, its amazing to me that the puncture hole would be so clean and round. And last, how would the tiny bit of aluminum (or whatever its made of) that is left on both sides of the hole keep that propeller in tact and not flying off

It's not fake. Caused by shots from behind possibly during a dogfight. You say "bullets" but for most of the war, they were firing cannon (is that the right word?) shells from their weapons. Have no idea the caliber involved.

37 mm

Probably flak.
