Name that historical figure!

Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia ?

**General Brewster** · October 09, 2020, 06:31 AM

No, but I understand why you would say that. He is German though.

**Sir Adrian** · October 09, 2020, 02:04 PM

Ludwig of Bavaria

**Basileos Leandros I** · October 10, 2020, 03:39 PM

That's a Napoleonic uniform right there so I would assume he's a general in a German army / regiment. Prussian or Austrian.

**General Brewster** · October 11, 2020, 03:56 PM

Napoleonic yes but the man has not yet been guessed.

Some one can take my turn

**General Brewster** · October 13, 2020, 11:16 AM

Common soldier is correct.

So that this venerable thread may not fall completely into desuetude, who is this?

**King Athelstan** · December 20, 2020, 05:53 AM

Albert Göring?

**skh1** · December 20, 2020, 09:37 PM

Correct! Albert Göring (1895 - 1966), the younger, relatively obscure, but infinitely superior brother of Hermann Göring. Unlike his brother, Albert was vehemently anti-Nazi and never missed an opportunity to use his surname and family connections to help as many of those who were being persecuted as he could.

(Albert's story begins at 5:13)

There is also this but, with a running time of an hour and 24 minutes all in majestic 240p, it could perhaps be considered as optional:

**King Athelstan** · December 21, 2020, 08:08 AM

but infinitely superior

I mean aren't most people

**Flinn** · December 21, 2020, 09:33 AM

hem, Maradona?

**King Athelstan** · December 21, 2020, 11:12 AM

Aye, can you rep yourself for me?

**Flinn** · December 22, 2020, 05:17 AM

I could, remember that the power of the darkside is unlimited! But I won't.. someone else will do me the honor, and if not, no problem

the dude with the glasses, one of my personal heroes honestly

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · December 22, 2020, 07:30 PM

I have repped you.

Gracias, querida!

as for the guess, a hint: he was an Italian politician.

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · December 23, 2020, 06:00 AM

My pleasure, Querido.

Aldo Moro?

**Flinn** · December 23, 2020, 06:12 AM

no, earlier

edit: a big hint.. he's considered to be one of the founders of the EU

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · December 23, 2020, 06:58 AM

Alcide De Gasperi?

A interesting choice.

**Flinn** · December 23, 2020, 07:23 AM

He is indeed Alcide De Gasperi

An interesting choice you say? Well, like with any other important character there are many controversial facts and anecdotes about his political life.. what I liked of him was his humility, the fact that he never exploited, not to say abused, the privileges of being an important politician and, most of all, the fact that he did never put his own interests in front of those of Italy.. when you look at who someone was, read what their enemies said of him.

Sorry for the digression, this is not the place for talking about him.. so, you'r up Querida
