True or false.
During WWII the Nazis staged eleborate Olympic style games with the German military on one side and prisoners of war on the other.
Answer :
Yes, it is true, the Nazis played prisoners of war in Olympic style soccer games.
The Death Match was a football (soccer for Americans) match between a POW Soviet team, “FC Start”, and a team comprised of Luftwaffe members, “Flakelf”. The match was played on August 9th, 1942, and was refereed by a Waffen SS soldier. The ref was very biased, and allowed fouls against the Soviet side, and even allowed a German to kick the Soviet goalkeeper in the head. Eventually, the Soviet team pulled off a 5-3 win. This win had huge consequences for the winners. “A number of the FC Start players were arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, allegedly for being NKVD members (as Dynamo was a police-funded club). One of the arrested players, Mykola Korotkykh, died under torture. The rest were sent to the Syrets labour camp, where Ivan Kuzmenko, Oleksey Klimenko, and the goalkeeper Mykola Trusevich were later killed, in February 1943.”

WTF happened to his hair!, lol!, backin the day , all the ladies went gaga over him.
Yes, that is Shawn Philips. He had a mega hit and started to spend his money all over the world. Then the music stopped for him the money stopped coming in, but not until he put down large a large down payment on a Sicilian castle. The banks came to foreclose and told him to get out at the end of the month. On the last day he was to leave the castle and turn in his speed boat, he decided to take one last speedboat ride. His boat prop got tangled in seaweed, when he tried to untangle it the boat took off. Throwing him into the water and the prop pulled his 3 ft. long hair into the prop taking his scalp off. Now, when he plays the guitar, he jerks his head like a chicken.
Who is this dude?
Thats a bloody awful picture of Jim Steinman, lyricist for Meatloaf and many others.
