May I ask for translations?

They are almost like this.


1.

The Dream and Reality of Iran seen in the photographs.

A form of the compulsory military service in Iran.

Domination of the Persian Gulf waters. This was one of the ambitions Britain dreamed. In other words, controlling India and Egypt at the same time was the key to clarifying the political fate that was indispensable for Britain. However, this area is also exposed to a new horror. Who should control the Persian Gulf when the Indian Ocean is already overwhelmed by our vessels and the 400 million Indians are about to break the shackles of the old order? Where should Iran head for? Iran should not roll up their flag of Iranism at least!

2.

Iran is a mountainous country but, once you step outside the city, it is a desert. The desert is in fact a field, in Persian, it is called a biaban. The land is fertile but many of them are unexplored by people. Most of them are gravel areas but the landscape varies by the ward from rocky desert to swampy desert and sandy desert. There are few rivers and they are intermittent and flow through the river channel in the rainy season though the continental rivers are same everywhere and nothing is limited to Iran but the landscape is dry and monotonous as a whole.

Isfahan mosque temple. The golden light tower shines brightly in the morning light.

The relief of the Persepolis Royal Palace, a remnant of ancient Persian art, is famous as a ruin of the 500s BC when it dominated the world.

The border of Iran is a mountain range, a country that was established as a natural fortress. You have to cross one or two passes wherever you go. An old village like a barracks surrounded by mountains, which is typical of Iran's terrain.

3.

Iran's modern girls are with their flag.

Boys who will lead the future of Iran.

Football flys higher than the mountain summit. The mountain range in the background is the Alborz Mountains which runs parallel to the coast of the back sea to separate Gilan and Mazanderan provinces from the inland area.

In the olden days when this country was called Persia, deep veils wrapped the women. Now they unveil and attend the concert.

Here are a teacher and a student of modern Iran. Is the secret of their good education in this one-on-one system?


4.

Paddy fields in Iran. Soil is gravel soil but fertile.

Persian rugs are also thus produced by traditional domestic industry.

Iran's oil business is dominated by British and American capital. It's like seizing the Iranian heart. When will they cut this wedge?

It's like a mirage's dream come true to have a trade on the back of a camel, an ancient desert ship.

This is a car road but it is over when Cavire Namaki (sandstorm?) comes.

Weaving the back of the mountain, people, luggage and camels must go on this ancient gravel road.

Genius Dr. Ernst Heinkel and his advanced factories in 1942.
What attracted Japanese visitors' attention beside the efficient production system was yellow boxes placed in front of the payroll office to collect workers' suggestions. Good ones were taken place immediately and proposers were awarded. Yes, I found similar system introduced in old Japanese magazines.

Training A-A guns at the navy academy in Edajima, Hiroshima in July, 1944.

I have confirmed that Sakura color film was influenced by German Agfacolor.
A Japanese professor took pictures with Agfacolor in Europe. He was asked to send films to Agfa in Germany for development but the war broke out. He returned to Japan with those undeveloped films but he did not know Sakura could do it. A few years later, he complained in a local magazine and Sakura helped him.
