"Ancestry.co.uk, which bills itself as Britain's leading family
history website, has begun the online launch of the Bavarian WWI
Personnel Rosters, a collection of records showing the military
service activities of 1.5 million soldiers who fought with the
Bavarian Regiment in the "war to end all wars."

"The documents include those of then 25-year-old volunteer Lance
Corporal Adolf Hitler, whose record describes him as a "Catholic," an
"Artist" and a "Messenger (bike rider) for the Regiment," whose role
was to carry dispatches back and forth from the command staff to units
near the battlefield.

Dude, I wonder which gear ratio he used?

Right outta the gate!
New record for rec.bike.tech!

Godwin's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a
comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.

Does this mean that all threads about messengers are now over by law?
