Anybody want to play 20 questions?

Was he a political figure?

If he was not a political figure, was he in the arts?

  1. If he is not political or in the arts, was he notable in the sciences?
  1. Political? Well… yes, I guess, but that’s not how or why he’s typically remembered.
  2. No.
  3. No.

OK to summarize, we got a German, born between 1850 and 1925 and dead prior to 1980. He is somewhat political, and not known to be part of the “arts” or “sciences”.

FTR, I am considering literature, film and music as part of the Arts, and psychology and medicine as part of the sciences.

Is he known as a scholar?

  1. No.

Did he have facial hair?

Born in or after 1885?

  1. No facial hair.
  2. Yes, born in or after 1885.

Did he play a prominent role in either WW I or II?

  1. I would say so, yes.

Was he a member of the Nazi party?

  1. Most definitely.

hmm. only somewhat political, yet a definitely part of the NAZIs.

Sgt Schultz? Just kidding.

Was he ever on trial for War Crimes?

  1. No.

Was he a Field Marshal?

  1. No.

I have to nail it now, right? So…is it Hitler?

Question 14 revealed he had no facial hair, and if memory serves, Der Fuhrer had a moustache, right? :wink: So I will take mercy on you, and won’t count this as your 20th question. Guess again.

Herman Goering?
