ja mein furer.
the original was british. good actor names george sanders played the villain. i kinda remember the "hunter" sighting on Hitler and then removing his finger from the trigger knowing he could have taken the shot.
this was before actual war. but the germans "disposed: of the englishman but he wasnt dead. they then pursue to london where they kill his girlfriend. -

old school- circa during Incan days- north american (field) lacrosse as played by native and meso american indians. goals could be tens of miles apart and fatalities likely.
present day i'd say indoor lacrosse aka "box" lacrosse. some of the northern new york state indian tribes play as well as their canadian counterparts. -

yes. strange how they could muster the almost superhuman stamina to compete and do all this and have hundreds of thousands of spectatots yet Cortez with 500 barely competent soldiers and a handful of even less competent cows was able to conquer the Incan empire.
well, at least lacrosse passed into american hands where it resides safely today even though canadians, british, french, native tribes, and, no kidding, australians vie for a true world cup victory. -

I was thinking the same thing! Violent sport, and really feeble war skills. Though it makes a certain amount of sense. I knew boxers at school who could deal with almost anyone in the ring, and they'd get beaten up by some thug who didn't know the first thing about how to punch. I think aggression in battle is gradually built up through drilling and fear of officers (not to mention fear of looking like a coward to your mates). The Incas and Aztecs treated war very differently from Europeans. They also thought the Europeans were gods (which would make it hard to want to kill them).
