I need a history topic that I can talk about for 5-8 minutes in class
Any ideas?
Important events, people, etc.
I like to make my presentations funny, so suggest something that isn't dark, like the Holocaust, please.

I read about it from this. Full of fun anecdotes if you throw in an overview of his conservationism, that's an easy 5-8 minutes if not more.

The Command fuckup at Ludendorff Bridge.
From Wikipedia:
A number of command changes in February and early March complicated German command of the Rhine crossings. Before the U.S. advance on the Rhine, the 22 road and 25 railroad bridges across the Rhine were the responsibility of the German Wehrkreis, or military districts. These soldiers did not report to an Army command but to the military arm of the Nazi Party, the Waffen-SS. During February, responsibility for the Ludendorff Bridge was transferred from Wehrkreis VI to Wehrkreis XII. In late February, German forces were reeling backwards and they had instituted a number of command changes to try to stem the Allied's advance. Responsibility for the bridges, including the Ludendorff Bridge, was shifted to the Army, although the Wehrkreis officers tried to retain their command authority. The anti-aircraft units around the bridges didn't report to the army, the Wehrkreis or the Waffen SS, but to the Luftwaffe.
