Enough pirates yet? How 'bout Glenn Miller and the Nazis?
You may have heard about this if you stayed up late last night. Some dude named Hunton Downs says that famed composer Glenn Miller was killed not when his plane mysteriously disappeared over the English Channel in 1944, as the U.S. government contends, but when he was captured and tortured to death by the Nazis.

The story goes something like this: Major Miller, who had apparently managed to master the German language, was recruited by General Eisenhower to carry out top-secret missions whereby he would play envoy between Eisenhower and German generals in hopes of convincing the German generals, who had apparently developed a liking for big band music, to assist the allies in bringing an early end to World War II. But when the Nazis got wind of what was going down, they turned the tables on Mr. Miller.

In proving his case, the author provides documents which show that Glenn Miller never even boarded the aircraft which supposedly disappeared over the channel.

3. You may not want to agree with the conclusion, but the evidence
of cover-up is pretty compelling.

4. Yes, any way you look at it, it's a great movie.
I tried to stay up for the whole show, but I dozed off for about an hour.
