Reply to TIL The European 30 Years' War 1618 - 1648 began with Czech nobles throwing two Habsburg governors out of Prague castle window onto a huge dungheap. The corresponding carnage - fought over the issue of religious freedom following the Protestant Reformation - left millions dead. by Royal_Bumblebee_
The war was incredibly brutal. As an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Magdeburg

It's barely possible that somebody mixed something up somewhere!

Just a quick aside for those who've read the book...the 1973 movie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Hell_House) is an excellent adaptation.
The movie adds some additional reasoning from Fischer to explain his logic. I don't recall if it was in the book or not. >!He notes that Florence's legs were broken and that a member of the previous expedition shattered his legs and I think one or two other similar instances.!<

Opinions on that one scene are split.
