Two stories, one true, one doubtful - you can judge which is which.
Story 2.

Back soon after coming to power Adolf Hitler decided that Germany must have a national cricket team, and one was formed.
After much practice the MMC were challenged to play in Berlin. Germany won the toss and elected to bat, Hitler himself opening the batting.
Unfortunately he was bowled out by the first delivery, declared it a silly game and led the Germans off the field, the game over.
Today it is best remembered for that old song "Hitler only got one ball"

So which of the two is true?

On the One show (BBC 1) today (Wed) one of its usually random reports was by Phil tuffnell about this cricket game and that one of the players had been planted in the team to be a spy. Just thought people may have little to no interest in this :D
