angryGreatness 96 Posted December 23, 2011 While I think Heesters doesn't meet the fame standard that I would like the DeathList to carry, I do feel this guy is going to be dead by the end of January and that beggars can't be choosers. In other words, put him on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted December 24, 2011 And so ends that debate. And the suspense. If there is an afterlife, would there be a special place for Nazi-sympathising operetta singers? While each of these sins forms just a flaw in one's life, the combination is pretty close to a crime against humanity. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Miroslav Posted August 29, 2013 Aside from entertaining the Nazis this man lived a very admirable life. I wish he would have gotten to live a few more years and not had his time cut so short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
