... Major General Stanislaw Sosabowski who led the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade during Operation Market Garden ... "After the battle, on 5 October 1944, Sosabowski received a letter from Field Marshal Montgomery, describing the Polish soldiers as having fought bravely and offering awards to ten of his soldiers. On 14 October 1944, Montgomery wrote another letter, this time to the British commanders, in which he scapegoated Sosabowski for the failure of Market Garden. Sosabowski was accused of criticising Montgomery, and the Polish General Staff was forced to remove him as the commanding officer of his brigade on 27 December 1944 " (Wiki) ... depending what reference you read, he ended his days either working in a factory worker in Acton, UK (Wiki), or he finished his days as a dishwasher in a London restaurant ...  |

“Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws” – Baron M.A. Rothschild ... here is a list of banks around the world owned by the Rothschild family ... the Rothschilds are also largely responsible for starting WWI, for starting the Bolshevik Revolution and for ordering the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family ... we have yet to about media ownership ... maybe George Carlin had it right after all ...  |

The factual, no-glossing-over genesis and evolution of the Rothschilds' financial empires would make for a compelling mini-series.
If it would ever be "allowed" to be produced in the first place…
Have there been any movies or documentaries made on that topic?
I would imagine there'd be a fair share of ruthlessness involved….i.e. perfect for HBO, AMC, Netflix, et al.
I'd like to see a mini-series on the Opium Wars of the 19th century….just to see how many "respectable" British and American (and other) blue-blood families made/expanded their fortunes as drug dealers.

I remember a few years ago I watched something on the Rothschilds....a reporter was trying to figure out what they owned and how much they were worth. They researched them for 5 years and because of all the red tape, government interference they couldn't confirm anything really. The reporters best guess was that they owned between 35K-50K businessse and properties world wide with a total worth somewhere close to a trillion.
One oil company that they owned over east was registered or associated with 30 different companies before it could confirmed that it was owned by the Rothchilds.
As far as making a movie or mini series, I believe that they are somehow connected to all of the movie studios.

I believe that may be incorrect. There was an interview on CBC recently and I can't recall the actress' name, but she was on a BBC medical drama in the early 60's as a black RN and she struck up a relationship with one of the doctors. There was a kiss in that series, and they mentioned the Uhura Star Trek kiss (in the interview) as coming later. The actress' role was eventually written out of the series as I think the audience had trouble with the relationship. Wish I could remember the name of that series, but I just heard it on the interview, never actually saw it. Too young, anyway. |

Carol Vadnais (RIP) is the other player being held by Andre the Giant. Vadnais played with the Bruins from 1971-1972 to a handful of games in 1975-76 before being traded to New York....along with Phil Esposito. Brad Park, Jean Ratelle, and Joe Zanussi came to Boston. Vadnais was an excellent defenseman who could put up points...and quite a few penalty minutes. Maybe he was a bit dirty....or got into his fair share of fights as well. I don't recall. But he was a legit NHLer. 6 all-star games. He started with the Habs in 66-67....not sure if his name is on the 67-68 Cup or not. But it's certainly on the 71-72 Bruins' engraving. According to Wikipedia, Sam Pollock was trying to get him back to the Habs, but Milt Schmidt and the Bruins outbid him. I don't know who/what Pollock was offering, but the Golden Seals got 21-year-old Reggie Leach (who would become a huge star in Philly), 23-year-old Rick Smith (who Boston would reacquire during Cherry's tenure), 22-year-old Ivan Boldirev (who would have a solid career), and 20-year-old Bob Stewart (who would play 9 more seasons as a middle of the pack d-man). The move paid off as Vadnais anchored the second pairing behind Orr and Dallas Smith. |

... December 31st, 1975 ... Montreal Canadiens vs Central Red Army ... perhaps the most lopsided tie in pro hockey to that point, ended in a 3-3 tie ... pictured is Pete Maholvich deking out Vladislav Tretiak ... the "Little M" could have sealed the game but ended up hitting the post ... the Habs went on to win the '76 Stanley Cup by beating the defending Cup champs, Philadelphia Flyers, later that year ...  |
