So do I get two goes for getting Gunter Grass right as well?

#122

He bears a disturbing resemblance to PK, and little to the few wartime photos I’ve seen of Gunter Grass.

Is this a fun photo, or am I missing something here?

#123

It’s excellent Photoshop work by Chevan, relating to an ongoing spat in PMs. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with Günter Grass.

#124

Say no more!

A nod’s as good as a wink to blind horse.

Know what I mean?

Nudge! Nudge!

Wink! Wink! :wink:

#125

P.S.

I think this must mean that sceadugenga doesn’t get bonus points for wrongly identifying PK as Gunter Grass. :wink:

Anybody who makes such a bad mistake should be sent for eye testing. :slight_smile:

#126

Looks like him to me.

#127

If Chevan’s posted photo was actually Grass, how does it differ from what is currently known or believed of Grass and what is represented in Chevan’s photo?

#128

How did you get the umlaut over u in Gunter?

#129

Now, my dear Librarian, is this correct?

I rather hope not, because I was hoping it was a bit more obscure. (I say that largely because I haven’t worked out the mystery man’s identity with such confidence. :frowning: )

#130

I’d love to say it was my awesome mod superpowers, but sadly it’s far more prosaic. I googled his hame, and copy-pasted his name complete with umlaut. Rather boring really.

#131

Well, dear boy, I think it might have been rather better had you not disclosed this. :smiley:

After all, an umlaut is not something one finds on the roadside. :wink:

And there I was thinking your UberMod powers had matured to a point approaching ominpotence. :rolleyes:

#132

Now, my dear Librarian, is this correct?

Completely correct, my dear Mr. Rising Sun! Hurrah for our Mr. Sceadugenga! :smiley:

Here you have the original snapshot that was used by me:

And here, for example, is the reference about the exact number of those previously mentioned “pieces”:

All other facts are also available upon the WWW – the only thing you have to do is to use certain Bull operators during your investigation. :wink:

Indeed excellent work, my dear Mr. Sceadugenga! And now, please - submit your task for us! :smiley:

#133

A whiskery one.

#134

Orde Wingate.

#135

It was a bit easy wasn’t it?

#136

Only because he happens to be in the small number of WWII people I can recognise immediately. It’s hard to forget a nutcase like Wingate. :smiley:

The new mystery man is in the centre in the front row, surrounded by his men. They distinguished themselves in their small field of military endeavour.

#137

BTW, does anyone have any more questions about why I don’t want my pic on the net?

#138

Yes, me.
I still have a question why you don’t want post your pics?:slight_smile:
Panzerknacker like to post his pics constantly, and what’s wrong with him?
Hey PZ are you all right?:)Has something happend wrong with you?May be you can’t sleep any more or have lose any interes at forum?Or may be you have lost your love to Tigers and Panthers?No
You see Nick , nothing terrible happend, when you post you pics…

#139

You , chap, has spoiled me all the fun:)
who did ask you to unmask it before time?
I was starting to believe myself it is a real Günter Grass’s ( as said sceadugengaon) on the photo:)
I don’t know how much PZ is Aryan , but he in SS uniform looks great, well except may be his strabismuss. But it wasn’t my evil will, it was a original photo:)

#140

It seems to me that our mysterious personality is Lieutenant-Colonel Ivan Lyon - DSO, MBE.

The very same photo, previously presented by you, as well as a highly recommended reading is available here:
