    Thanx Heartland!

    My question: Why did Hitler give his dog poison before himself committing suicide? There´s a definite reason here...

    Should be easy!

    Yes, Friedrich, but why suddenly the need to test the poison? You got the question half right.

    Because the Red Army was a few yards away? :rolleyes: Because it was home-made poison? :confused:

    Maybe it wasn't poison at all, maybe Eva was just a very poor cook and the dog got the leftovers? :confused:

    Really, I can't recall reading anything about why the poison had to be tested, just that it was. Maybe it was old? He didn't trust his doctors? Argh!

    Guys, guys....

    I give Friedrich the chance to answer this first after this hint:

    Who gave the poison to Hitler and who did Hitler think was the most loyal one and was not? Quite easy, right??

    Göring? Himmler? Goebbels?

    Was it Blondi (not Eva, the dog) the one he thrusted the most? :confused:

    OK, you get to ask Friedrich,

    but "der treue Heinrich" was what Hitler called Himmler and the poison was given to Hitler by Himmler and once Hitler heard of the treason Himmler had done ( negotiations with the allied ) he started suspecting the poison capsules and one was given to his dog to test the effect, although they probably would have killed Blondi anyway...

    Alright, not exactly WWII, but about a WWII character.

    He was the officer responsible for all telephone and wire communications of the German V Army in 1916 at Verdun. This all communications and the butchery of the battle affected his military thinking.

    Who was he?

    Of course Friedrich, the clue helped!

    Next question: Who was the famous waffen-SS high ranked officer who had his cuff title and eagle on his shoulder and the totenkopf on the cap made in "gold"? ( I think there was only one..)
