"Stalin used to take english dunhill cigs, dismantle them and put them in his pipe." *** So what? He did the same with Herzegovina Flor papirosas. Sincerely OplotMira

? Just a little known fact? What the thread was about? Another: Roosewelt never allowed himself to be photographed from above, or to have other leaders standing beside him, they were always asked to sit, his wheelchair was never shown in a photo. When he died, some people were surprised to know he had polio.

General De Lattre de Tassigny was a young cavalty lieutenant in 1914. He was wouded in 1914 during a fight in his his horse with a sabre (he killed his opponent, a german uhlan...) French general Juin (commander of french army in Italy in 1943) had lost a hand during first world war (in all photos he keeps his harm in his pocket)

Captain DANJOU leader of the Foreign Company which fought the combat of Camerone (Alamo of the LEGION ETRANGERE) had a wooden hand. He was killed in the battle and his hand is kept as a relique in Aubagne, headquraters of the legion...

Lends a new image to shaking the captains hand...

Fact: Hitler did only have one ball - apparently the other got shot off in WW1. Audie Murphy may have gor to play himself in a film, another who came close was Richard Todd in the Longest Day. He payed Maj Ron Howard who captured Pegasus Bridge. On D-Day he was a Lieutenant with the 6th Airborne who went to relieve the bridge so in the film he ended up breifly talking to himself.

i thought the the one testicile issue originated from a bawdy song to the "Riwer Kwai March". Is there any substance to that allegation??

As far as I know, its fact: I'm not sure if he lost it in the war, or through a condition called 'monorchidism' ''itler has only one ball, goering has two but they're small and goeballs, has no balls at all"

As far as I'm aware the song was a case a a happpy coincidence

yeah, its probably coincidence. New one: Micheal collins spent five years as a post office clerk in London.
