Okay. Here it goes.

Before he became a well-known Hollywood actor, this U.S. Marine received a severe wound fighting on Saipan in June 1944 and was sent back to the United States and given a medical discharge.

Hint: dusty eggs.

Its got be a guess, I dont know that many Hollywood actors that fought in the war.

I will go for Caesar Romero.

BrianP · 25-06-2005, 11:15 PM

Sorry Lee. That's not correct.

Wise1 · 25-06-2005, 11:18 PM

Ok, then the only other one would be Lee Marvin, I am sure he was a Marine but cant remeber when or where.

Note: Trying to think of the answer without the use of Google

Quoted post

Lee Marvin did enlist in the U.S. Marines, saw action as Private First Class in the Pacific during World War II, and was wounded (in the buttocks) by fire which severed his sciatic nerve. However, this injury occurred during the battle for Saipan in June 1944

It was Lee Marvin.

Hint: Dusty eggs = Dirty Dozen. Get it? A dozen eggs?

Man, am I lame.

Ok I will try a question more related to my subject on the holocaust for a change.

Can anyone tell me what the significance of Block 10 was in Auschwitz?

spidge · 26-06-2005, 01:05 PM

Medical Experimentation block.

Wise1 · 26-06-2005, 02:16 PM

It certainly was, headed up by the infamous Mengele many experiments were carried out in the block and it was the scene for many an outrageos set of tests on the inoccent.

Although in the mens camp it housed mostly female prisoners and also prostitutes for the benefit the so called elite prisoners, mostly German of course.

An inmate in here could undergo experiments for skin testing to test reaction to chemical substances or a direct injection to the heart using phenol to allow immediate disection.

Thanks Lee,

It is incomprehensible what one human being could do to another in the "interests" of medicine.

THE NEXT QUESTION

What country declared war on Britain and the United States, but their ambassador in Washington refused to deliver the declaration to the United States government. Accordingly, the United States refrained from declaring war on them?
