CONTEST: Analyze this picture! $$$

[jaminbird]

After comparing op's pic with a google image search of Truman it is certainly not him. At least I don't think it is.

Was just talking to Esection, and he led me to this: "The Allies then dispatch a six-woman team of operatives known as Jackdaws, who are assigned to pose as a custodial detail and sabotage German communications. Given a second chance to carry out her mission, Flick has very little time to assemble her "Dirty Half-Dozen" team, made up of a convict, a transvestite, a Gypsy, and an aristocrat, among other outcasts." Looks good.

im just thinking outloud here, but im sort of sure that the old man in the pic is not himmler.

heres the logic:

there are other people wearing nazi uniforms in the picture. if this picture is taken during the war, which it looks like it most definitely is, then the man is too old to be himmler. himmler was at least 10-15 yrs younger than this guy during the war.

secondly, i cant see this picture being taken post war - since there most probably would not be nazis wearing uniforms. if it is himmler, he would be wearing his uniform as well - unless he was trying to be inconspicuous or something, whereupon he would not be in the presence of other nazis wearing their uniforms.

you do realize Jackdaws is a fictional novel right?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Supposedly based on a true story - just throwing it out there

Also I still like Himmler (that is, I like the chance that this is him)

britain sent over boatloads of SOE operatives (mostly men but lots of womens too), who were not unknown to dress up as ladies occassionally to get their sh*t done.

I am honored that you used your first post to question my understanding of the English language.


EDIT:

What if InigoMontoya is a gimmick account created by OP and he is secretly trying to tell us that it IS Truman???

His location might be a clue as it is very odd: "Searching for the seeks feengered man."

Also note that he registered less then 30 minutes ago.

EDIT 2.0:

Princess Bride....But Why?

[Clayton]

jamin, u clearly have not seen the princess bride?

edit - this thread is trying my patience, i hope to wake up tomorrow and know exactly what the hell is up with this picture

Why don't they have women and have to use a man to dress up as waitress? Could be a military camp in some occupied territory and this is the officers' quarter, but why doesn't the man in the front carry a uniform? Also tea, was it rationed and only for the most priviliged ones, did the germans have much access to tea at all?
