Did you know: Adolf Hitler was born on 20 April 1889 in Braunau am Inn, a town in Austria-Hungary (in present-day Austria), close to the border with the German Empire. wikipedia.org
Sorry to hold up the game folks. I was away for the past day. I did reply to your PM Sheba. Odd you did not receive it.
Yes it is a young Joseph Stalin responsible for the death of millions of his own countrymen all in the name of power and greed. Hitler killed many millions of non Germans.. so one could say Stalin was the more evil.
It is Sheba's floor.

You've got it Sheba I thought the tiara would lead them astray and if you didn't get it my clue was going to be "you'll kick yourself Over to you for a pic.
Dame Margot FonteynDBE (born Peggy Hookham, Reigate, Surrey, 18 May 1919 Panama City, 21 February 1991) was an English ballerina.[1][2] She is widely regarded as one of the greatest classical balletdancers of all time.
She spent her entire career as a dancer with the Royal Ballet, eventually being appointed Prima Ballerina Assoluta of the company by QueenElizabeth II. This is an honour rarely given to a dancer. The highest rank in the Royal Ballet today is Principal dancer. Fonteyn's appointment as a Dame commander of the British Empire is the female equivalent to a knighthood.
Fonteyn danced until 1979, when she was nearly 60. This is unusual for any dancer, male or female. Her career was expected to end round about 1960, but it was reborn by a new partnership with a Russian dancer who had escaped from the Soviet Union. He was Rudolph Nureyev, one of the three greatest male ballet dancers of the twentieth century. Though he was 19 years younger than her, the partnership flourished, and was called "the most famous partnership in ballet history".[1]p188
She married a Panamanian politician in 1955. He survived an assassin's bullets ten years later. She continued dancing to raise money for his upkeep. The marriage was not happy; he had a mistress. However, the couple remained married until his death in 1989.
