Where and when is it?

A very accurate guess. More here: http://www.28maoribattalion.org.nz/

The Kiwis still do the Haka. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rDoV0EBu44

Your turn.

This is indeed scary and surely serves its purpose but why the falsetto guy as the leader?:smiley:

Because the falsetto guy is a woman.

Which should give you a new respect for Maori women. :wink: :smiley:

Really?:wink:

I’ll keep that in mind if I’ll ever meet one, chances are pretty low though.

You think those recruits are scary?

Here’s a peacekeeping mission just saying goodbye to the folks.

And here’s the sort of welcome another outgoing peacekeeping unit gives to their replacement unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqM8IGwM4C8&feature=related

Imagine how blokes like that behave when they find an enemy!

Impressive, I’m a big fan of this Haka thing and if there will ever be an evening course I’m the first one to apply. Until now, however, all we got is a lousy Didgeridoo workshop…I didn’t get a single sound of this cudgel.:confused:

Anyway, here’s the next mystery. What’s this mess about?

Jodle is spookier!

Judging from the long table plate destroyed on one side… The place after an assasination attempt on Hitler in Sommer 1944.

Hitler was known to be rather flatulent, so it is possible that there was an open flame in the room…:mrgreen:

Probably not.

After the assassination attempt Hitler developed a tremor in his arm, not his arse. :smiley:

It’s just LSD I guess.:smiley:

Right, actually THE assassination attempt from July 20, 1944. Photo shows the conference room of Hitler’s HQ “Wolfsschanze” at Rastenburg/East Prussia.

Ok… here is my offer to you:

A British unit engaged in some sort of fumigation in a war destroyed area?

I’d go for the crossing of the Lower Rhine in March 1945. The British put up a 100 km bench of artificial smoke to cover the river crossing…and poisoned a lot of their own guys with that stuff.

Yes, this is correct.

Well, British smoke-inhalation? or German lead-poisoning? Difficult choice. :slight_smile:

I once read that this huge smoke action was more or less unnecessary since there were few or no German troops left on the eastern banks who could have endangered the landings.

Next one:


Hint: this is not an apparatus gymnastics contest.

Or the local meat market :slight_smile: Dutch collaboraters ?1944

Nope, this was done by apparently more hot-blooded people than the regular Dutch.

City Square, Milan, around April 29 1945.

Mussolini on the left and his mistress Clara Petacci on his left. There were more bodies originally hung than shown in the picture - about 12 other Fascists I think - but I can’t recall who they were.

Exactly. I would have to hit the books myself to identify the other unlucky ones.
