At 4:52: "The man carrying a wounded soldier in this painting based on a photograph taken during WWI is Henry Tandey, an English recipient of the Victoria Cross. Four years after the event in this image, Tandey caught a wounded soldier in his gun sights. But rather than kill the man, Tandey took pity on his wounded state and spared his life. The "German" he allowed to live was this man. Later, the man whose life he spared wore his mustache shorter, but still have the same name... Adolf Hilter."
Thanks, Tandey.
I'm done.

Wow, Interesting. I just learned something.
Commentary: We all have made mistakes; Some come back to haunt us forever.
(sounds like a tagline from a movie)
ps I liked the video as well as the bit you cited. The part about the monk writing over Archemedies' discovery of calculus hundreds of years before Newton was great. Thanks for posting interesting stuff.
No problem
