1) Robert Oppenheimer, the guy who invented the atomic bomb and ultimately won WW2 for us, was charged with being a communist during the McCarthy era.

2) The ventilation system used in the gas chambers of Dachau, Treblinka and Auschwitz were designed and built by AEG. The same people who now make 15% of all fridges sold in Israel.

3) The entire population of the world would (theoretically) fit on the Isle of Wight.

4) The film "Full Metal Jacket " was filmed entirely in England. The director, Stanley Kubrick, didn't like flying so he spent more of the film's budget recreating Hue city in London's docklands.
