Boromir's guess the famous game #216 [Georg Elser is the famous person, capuchin wins!]
1. I'm thinking of some famous person, it can be a film actor, a philosopher, a president, a prime minister, a singer, fictional character, mafia man etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 1 guess per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.

Capuchin wins with Georg Elser, German anti-fascist who attempted to assassinate Hitler. Elser planted a bomb in the location where Hitler was to give a speech commemorating the Beer Hall Putsch. The attempt failed only because Hitler left early due to weather causing him to change his schedule for returning to Berlin. The bomb missed Hitler by only 13 minutes, but did kill 6 high-ranking Nazis. Elser was imprisoned for 5 years and executed just before the fall of Nazi Germany. Tomorrow, November 8, is the anniversary of his attempt.
