    I was watching Seinfeld a couple of days ago and this question was asked, so I figured for fun, why don't we start up our own discussion about it.

    My choices would be a tie between Himmler(He looks like someone you would ask to fix your computer) and Goering (he looked more Pakistani than German).

    Definitely Göring, he looks like an evil school teacher. I understand he was quite the ladies man in his younger days though.

    Skua, now you are starting to scare me. :D

    Really, what about Bradley? I always found him to look a lot like most monkeys...

    If you want ugly, take a look at pictures of Admirals William F. Halsey and Marc Mitscher of the US Navy.

    Soviet tank general Rybalko. He looks like an Irish dwarf.

    I didn't find any on the net. Only in some books, but I'm lazy to scan :-? Btw, could I attach a picture which is not on the net?

    Stalin's always been hideous, I thought...

    Could you get arrested by the NKVD for saying that? :)

    Oh yeah. Why don't you come with me, mr. Phantasm... Right this way, thank you. :D
    But seriously, Bradley was uglier. Just... well, see here.

    His service record is amazing though. No disrespect for this ugly man!

    I heard in some instances that you could be arrested by the NKVD for

    being the first one to stop applauding Stalin after his speeches!

    Then they'd be standing there for years trying to figure out a signal, to make everyone stop at once? :D These forced applauds and such are common to most dictators, who have the most devious ways of making you look happy and cheerful.

    Hehe - applauding for years - actually, I heard that the applauses went on for about 20 minutes!

    I think Kruschev (sp?) was pretty ugly too. Short, fat and Georgian.

    (No offense to any Geogians on the forum)
