>everyone today knows Tesla
Tesla was less known for a long time, until a best-selling biography that centered around how he was very little known. Paradoxically, he became famous for not being famous, and for decades he was a household name always coupled with "but nobody knows who he is!"
Funny that another story now uses the same rhethoric about someone else.

Worst thing I read about the holocaust was that when the camps were liberated, most inmates still alive were released and sent to hospital care - except the homosexuals, who were transferred to prisons to serve out their "sentence". It was still illegal under the new government as well.

>The Nazis dumped lots of ammunition in various different lakes and harbours near the big cities after WW2.
Just a nitpick, but the Nazis left the ammunition/munitions, locals had to clean it up. And at the time, the general consensus about any kind of trash is that "if it won't burn, it'll sink".
If we knew the amount of 1960s washing machines on the bottom of Norwegian fjords, we'd be surprised.

"Whoever" if it's the subject of the sentence.
