    In the 1930s there were a number of summer camps in the USA run by the Nazis which taught Nazi ideology to the campers and raised funds for the Nazi Party.
    The best-known was Camp Siegfried, in Yaphank on New York's Long Island.

    This creepy historical fact is personal to my immediate family.

    In 1774 during Lord Dunmore's War on the Shawnee and Mingo natives men from my maternal grandfather's family fought for Dunmore against my paternal grandmother's Shawnee family. There is even a statue in Point Pleasant, WV commemorating it.

    King George the first I believe died because of diarrhea. King Charles the second was so inbred that he could barely speak and had a huge tongue that caused that.

    He also had something called the ‘Habsburg Jaw’ which is a grossly extended lower jaw. You can see it in his portraits. And the portraits were always prettied up so the king would not look less that good looking, for all the portraits of the nobility back then.

    Here let me have a go. *Dons ceremonial headgear and stares into crystal ball* 'Sometime in the future a boat might sink'. Now we wait. Get ready for all those future people with their minds blown.

    The book that turned out to be prophetic was called “The Wreck of The Titan” and was written several years (1898) before the Titanic started to be built about 1911. Read it. You will not want to believe it.

    Romans liked watching people killing other people - on one morning alone, 10,000 people were killed in Rome's Coliseum just for fun.
