How was the Winston Churchill puzzle finally resolved

In 1943, a camouflaged ship from Australia to England bearing a secret shipment of repentance – Fatebus one young man.

It was called the name of its potential owner, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Winston Churchill, and the rare rare was an unprecedented gift from a country that he was strongly trying to prefer to expand the Second World War in the Pacific Ocean and reached the threshold of its door.

But the days outside the arrival of Winston, with the outbreak of the war in the seas around it, Pugle was found dead in the “background” water that he made specially.

For fear of a possible diplomatic incident, Winston died – along with his existence in particular – under the carpet.

He was preserved, stuffed and quietly raised inside an office named, with rumors that he died from the shock caused by Nazi submarines that gently whispered in the ether.

The secret of, or what, has truly killed the world has faded since then – until now.

The world has always been fascinated by eternity. My breasts lay eggs with a face and feet, a body in the form of a fox and a tail inspired by the beaver, many believed that the creature was a complex trick; Mummification trick.

For Churchill, a thirsty mosque for rare and exotic animals, PlatyPus plots made him more despair to get one – or six – for Menagerie.

In 1943, he said to the Australian Foreign Minister, HV ‘Doc’ Evatt.

In the eyes of Evatt, the fact that his country had banned the export of creatures – or that it was difficult to transfer them to purify at all on a long journey – was just challenges to overcome them.

Australia was increasingly felt to be abandoned by the mother homeland, as the Japanese approached more and more – and if there is a group of invoked cells that will help Churchill to respond more positively to Canberra’s requests to obtain support, let it be.

David Flei – who was asked to help with the task – was less applicable.

“Imagine any man who bears the responsibilities of Churchill, with humanity on a pregnant woman in Europe and Asia, to find time to think, not to mention the desire, half a decoration of slow sectarian cells,” he wrote in his book author in 1980.

At the expense of Mr. Flei, he managed to speak with politicians from six films to one, and the young Winston was arrested from a river near Melbourne shortly after.

A detailed-full background has been created with burrows lined with straw and fresh Australian creek water-for it; A list of 50,000 worms – and duck egg pastume as a treatment – has been prepared;; A waiting host was employed for all his needs throughout the 45 -day trip.

Through the Pacific Ocean, through the Panama Canal and to the Atlantic Ocean, Winston went – before the tragedy collided.

In a letter to Evatt, Churchill said it was “sad” to report that the “gentle” background cells that were sent had died in the last extending of the trip.

“Its loss is a great disappointment for me,” he said.

The failure of the mission was secret for years, to avoid any general cry. But in the end, reports on Winston’s demise will begin to appear in the newspapers. The ship was faced with the German U boat, as they claimed, and the mixed cells were shook to death in the midst of a barrage of explosions.

“A small animal equipped with a project sensitive to the nerves, capable of discovering even the sensitive movements of mosquitoes in the bottoms of the current in the dark at night, cannot hope to deal with the noise of man -making, such as violent explosions.”

“It was very clear that, but for war calamities, he would have created the wonderful Platipus Little Palace, bliss and health as a history of being the number one of its kind to take it in England.”

“It is a tempting story, right?” PhD student Harrison Croft tells BBC.

But it has long raised doubts.

And so last year, Mr. Croft He started his own journey: searching for the truth.

Upon arrival in the archives in both Canberra and London, Monash University student found a set of records from the ship’s crew, including an interview with PlatyPus accompanying the accused of keeping Winston alive.

“They did a kind of death, and it was very special. He was very sure that there was no explosion, and he was very calm and calm on the plane,” says Mr. Croft.

A distant state, there was another team in Sydney looking at Winston’s life as well. The personal David Fleay group of the Australian Museum was donated, and the employees around the building were desperate to see if it had answers.

“You would continue in elevators and some doctors from mammals … (Are you asking)” What is the archival evidence that Winston died from the depth bombings? “

“This is something that has sparked people’s interest for a long time.”

With the help of a team of trainees from the University of Sydney, they started numbering all Fleay records in an attempt to find out.

Even as it dates back to the 1940s, people knew that the back cells were eaters. The delicacy of the legend of species was so great that the UK authorities formulated an announcement of the introduction of young children to arrest worms and hand them over to feed Winston upon his arrival.

In the Platypus record book, the trainees found evidence that his shares on his way had decreased when some worms began to destroy.

However, the water and air temperatures, which were referred to at 8 am and 6 pm, were carrying the key to the mystery.

These readings were taken in two of the most cold points a day, however, as the ship crossed the equator over a week, the recorded temperatures rose beyond 27 ° C – what we know now is the safe threshold for PlatyPus travel.

With the use of late perception – and an additional 80 years of scientific research in species – the Sydney University team decided that Winston was mainly cooked.

Although they cannot categorically exclude the story of the shock, they say that the effect of these long high temperatures alone was enough to kill Winston.

“It is only easier to convert the blame for the Germans, instead of saying that we did not fed him enough, or we were not correctly organizing his temperature,” Iwan Kuan told BBC.

“History depends entirely on who tells the story,” says Paul Zaki.

It should not be empty through its initial attempt to oak diplomacy, Australia will try again in 1947.

Highly from the success of breeding silver in captivity for the first time – an achievement that will not be repeated for another 50 years – Mr. Flei convinced the Australian government to allow the Bronx Zoo three creatures in an attempt to deepen relations with the United States.

Unlike the Winston Secret journey in the Pacific Ocean, this journey got great attention. Benilep and Seselle in Boston’s fuss, before the trio was accompanied by Limozine to New York City, where the Australian ambassador was waiting for their first worm to feed.

My home was dying shortly after her arrival, but Bienolb and Sisel quickly became famous. Glossary crowds of animals. A wedding was planned. Personted tabloid on each step.

Platypus is unilateral creatures, but New York has promised lovers. While Cecil loved, the Benellop was apparently sick. In the media, it was drawn as “hussy rude”, one of these obscene females who want to keep males on a chain.

Until 1953, when the husband was disappearing four days-describing it annoyingly as “nightclubs all night”, fueled by “abundant quantities of lobster and worms.”

Unfortunately, the BILBB soon began to nest, and the world waited for its enthusiasm, which had to be a huge scientific milestone – Only the second was raised in captivity, and the first outside Australia.

Four months after the princess treatment and the double subsistence quotas for Penelope, Zokeepers examined her nest in front of a crowd of enthusiastic correspondents.

But they did not find any children – just the indisputable Binilop, which was briefly accused of falsifying its pregnancy to secure more worms and the least Cecils.

“It was a complete scandal,” says Kwan.

Years later, in 1957, it would disappear from the box, which sparked a task for search and rescue for weeks, which reached its peak in the zoo, announcing it “lost and perhaps dead”.

A day after the search for Penelope, Cecil died of the media was diagnosed as a “broken heart”.

She was developed to rest with the husband, which was a real future for oak diplomacy.

Although the Bronx Zoo will try to repeat the stock exchange with more normal cells in 1958, the Finniky monsters lasted less than a year, and Australia soon tightened the laws prohibiting its export. The only two who have left the country since then have lived in the San Diego Zoo since 2019.
