Are you testing us then?
Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk
Joseph Goebbel?
I mean Goebbels.
So why ask the question in the first place?

Count Schwerin von Krosigk (May 2nd 1945) and Lord Conesford in February of that year. Also used by Ethel Snowden in 1920 referring to Bolshevik Russia. Lord D'Abernon in 1925 and the Queen of the Belgians in 1914.

Any more that you know of?

Vasily Rozanov described an Iron Curtain descending on Russian history in 1918 and Ethel Snowden described Russia as being behind an Iron Curtain in 1920 but the Earl of Munster used the phrase in his journal in 1817.

Not short tempered at all. I just thought that people asked questions on here that they wanted to know the answer to, not ones that they already did. My mistake, obviously.
