Any Fans of Golden Era Boxing?
Golden Age boxing, as I understand it, was what the NFL is today, for the average Joe-bucket-from-the-illegal-pony-keg.- filfoster

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
LMAO! Much better than 'Hunting Hitler'! Well, honestly no. Just as funny though! -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
I am going to take the advice of y'all worthy folks and bid this thread bon chance! It's time for a drink in the bar and watch the latest episode of Hunting Hitler. I heard they've found the nephew of a man who claims he carried AH's luggage in Nassau at Junkanoo and was tipped badly. And... -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
"No one saw the bodies"? Otto Gunsche and Heinz Linge entered the room and saw them and took them to the garden. They lived to be old men and repeatedly gave their stories. The good Dr. Blaschke may not have testified but as the link i provided above includes x ray records from Hitler's... -
Why Winston had no cash
Well, no doubt, and English aristocrats had no monopoly on being spendthrifts. It's just a source of wonder that merchants and professionals continued to extend credit, evidently for bills years in arrears. As much as merchants wanted to avoid bad PR, wouldn't that also work the other way? -

Why Winston had no cash
This is fun. From superficial reading, was this profligate overspending typical of his class? I've read that many titled aristocrats were chronically in debt, living beyond their means. Why did tradespeople continue to supply their needs and go unpaid? -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Are you reading the posts? There is eyewitness testimony of Hitler's SS adjutant, Otto Gunsche and his valet, Heinz Linge. There is the exact match of dental records from Hitler's medical records that match a jawbone the Soviets recovered. The bones weren't all wired together in a neat skeleton... -

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Why does no one credit Otto Gunsche, Hitler's SS adjutant and Heinze Linge, his valet, both of whom first saw the dead Hitler and his gal, on the sofa? They wrapped them in the rugs or blankets and took them outside for cremation. Both Gunsche and Linge lived well into the second half of the... -

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Stearman has it right on AH's motives for the suicide and cremation. Not sure he's right about the Roswell. I choose to believe that one. Some really good recent books on that and oddly it's easier to believe than Hitler's 'survival'. AH didn't accomplish much with this get-away, if he did... -
Normal House on the Outside, 17th Century on the Inside!
'York Steak House'. Good one, Lizzie. I actually like this! Pure Addams family on the inside! Perhaps the least appealing kitchen I've seen. Who knew Pier 1 had so much stuff?- filfoster

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
The dental records of Hitler's jawbone (now where is the mention of this in this series?) is a very hard piece of evidence to overcome. Never mind that the old B----rd was a very weak, sick man by April, 1945 and would be very unlikely to stand the physical demands of a skedaddle by foot, plane... -
If you could solve just one mystery....
This series is fun. I read the 'Grey Wolf' book. Unfortunately for their premise, and fortunately for the world, they ignore a LOT of eyewitness (and 'ear-witness') testimony and dental records that are credible. It's possible someone high-ranking got away and used some of this stuff (Not...- filfoster

If you could solve just one mystery....
To the OP and in this latest tangent, I would like to know the truth of whether the Nazis had a 'weapon', or a device called 'Die Glocke', (the Bell) which may have warped time/space. It was truly 'weird science' and not well controlled or understood by those in charge. The experiments, if they...- filfoster

Epic Militaria Service Shoes
Mine are a D width. I've also heard good things about 'WW2 Impressions' footwear. Their supply is spotty but their USMC boondockers are supposed to be the best repros yet made. -
Epic Militaria Service Shoes
Can't vouch for the US service boots but SM Wholesale boots are generally very well made (yes, from Mexico). I have two pairs of the German low boots and they're very well made. -
Frank Sinatra!
Love his music; the man was a difficult 'like'. It used to irk me that he was such a decent actor as well as a great singer. I didn't buy any albums. CD's until after he died. But doesn't every man wish he could sing like that?- filfoster

WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.
No refrences to 'cheese' as in cutting or squeezing same?
