UK Posters: Jack Johnson is a chosen specialist subject on Mastermind tonight

Sieg Heil!

 

I remember they once had a guy who chose the HW division as his specialist subject. I did rather well, as I think most here would if not ace it.

I've seen that in the book shop. Looks intriguing, lots of great reviews.
Will get round to reading it. :good

My personal "Nazi of interest" would be Bormann.
A truly Machiavellian character. A guy that even the other top Nazis considered a brute and a sh!t.
(And then of course the decades of speculation over his possible survival.)

 

Yeah. I think I got 4 or 5 on that.

 

Well I got one more than the contestant ,but I was sitting in the comfort of my lounge,not in a chair in front of cameras.

Different ballgame.:good

 

Bormann's quite a mysterious character. You more I've read the less I know.

 

Did the hospital one involve Jaundice? Or jack Johnson's cracked ribs after the tommy burns fight? :nut

what was the amateur boxer question?

 

Goering is the one that has interested me the most, perhaps because he was the most human.

 

Who was the amateur boxer that helped his early career? I can't remember his name and had never heard of him .
Johnson was admitted to hospital with a rare complaint. "jaundiced ribs," he was also dead.

 

That guy also apoeared on Bunce's show, wrote a book, wrote for a magazine I used to write for, and got slaughtered in one of Stewart Lee's standup sets.

Quite a life.
