On 27 August 1941, the division arrived in Borovichi, near Leningrad, and joined the Fifty-Second Army. On 2 September, it was consigned to the reserve, spending a month in the rear.On 7 October, after the Wehrmacht commenced Operation Typhoon, the division was sent to the Moscow region, where it arrived on the 10th. It was stationed in the left flank of General Konstantin Rokossovsky's Sixteenth Army and tasked with defending a 41-kilometer long sector to the south of Volokolamsk, a part of the Mozhaisk fortified line.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120630215845/http://slovari.yandex.ru/~%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B8/%D0%91%D0%A1%D0%AD/%D0%9F%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%86%D1%8B/ The 8th Guards Rifle Division].

On 15 October, the Germans attacked the region. After two weeks of fighting, the 316th was abandoned by the other defenders. Together with the rest of the Sixteenth Army, the division retreated towards Moscow. In spite of suffering heavy casualties, the 316th managed to significantly delay the German advance on the capital, buying time for the defenders of the city. On 11 November, <mask> was awarded his third Order of the Red Banner for the personal courage he displayed during the fighting.According to historian Richard Overy, Marshal Georgy Zhukov told <mask> that he would be shot if he were to retreat. The 316th Division's new line of defense, near the village of Dubosekovo, was overrun by the Germans on 15–16 November; Soviet newspapers later claimed that on the 16th, twenty-eight soldiers from the division's 1075th Regiment destroyed eighteen German tanks while

 fighting to the last man, though an investigation by a Soviet military judge in 1948 revealed the tale was exaggerated. The threat to Rokossovsky's flank prompted the Stavka to send in the reserve 78th Siberian Rifle Division. The 78th's soldiers were forced to retreat after three days, but the Wehrmacht's advance was slowed down due to the Soviets' resistance and the weather conditions, gradually grinding into a standstill. On 17 November, the People's Commissar of Defense passed a decree to grant the 316th the status of a Guards formation, renaming it the 8th Guards Rifle Division. On the 18th, a group of correspondents visited <mask>'s command post in the village of Guseniovo, and informed him of the resolution. While he briefed the journalists in the open, they came under a mortar attack.<mask> was killed by a shell splinter. The Defense Commissar's edict was brought into effect on that day. Legacy

Aftermath
On 23 November, the 8th Guards was awarded the sobriquet <mask>skaya in honor of its fallen commander, and its soldiers were henceforth known as "<mask>'s Men" (Panfilovtsy). It took part in the Red Army's counter-offensive which drove the Wehrmacht away from Moscow during December. The division ended the Second World War in Latvia, as part of the forces besieging the German pocket in Courland. On 12 April 1942, <mask> was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

 books – Volokolamsk Highway, Several Days, and General <mask>'s Reserve – were popular both in the USSR and abroad. In particular, Volokolamsk Highway had wide influence as a tactical and motivational text within the Israeli Defense Forces, the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, China's People's Liberation Army, and East Germany's National People's Army. Volokolamsk Highway served as one of the settings for an eponymous series of five plays by Heiner Müller, written from 1984 to 1987. The first part, "Russian Opening", was based on Heinrich von Kleist's The Prince of Homburg. In Müller's reinterpretation, Momyshuly assumes the role of the Great Elector. Momyshuly had himself turned to writing after the war, and discussed the battles near Volokolamsk in several works, like Moscow Is Behind Us and Our General, <mask>.Controversy
The director of Russia's State Archive of Socio-Political History  Sergei Mironenko called the legend of <mask>'s 28 Guardsmen to be a deliberate falsification. On March 16, 2016, Sergei Mironenko left his post after he reached the age limit for civil servants in 65 years. He retained the position of the supervisor of the State Archive. Mironenko claimed that he dismissed from his post at his own request, in order to "focus on scientific work": "Do you really think that I would not fight if it was not my decision? ... There is nothing to worry about in my dismissal." The Russian Culture Minister was quoted saying "even if this story was invented from start to finish, if there had been no <mask>, if there had been nothing, this is a sacred legend that shouldn't be interfered with.People that do that are filthy scum."

<mask> (; born 23 September 1934 in Monfalcone) is an Italian singer-songwriter. He is a seminal figure who has written a number of songs widely regarded as classics in Italian popular music, including: "Il cielo in una stanza", "Che cosa c'è", "Senza fine", "Quattro amici al bar" and "Sapore di sale". Biography
<mask> was born in Monfalcone, a little town near Trieste, but moved to Genoa at a young age. After several different jobs, he was signed to Ricordi with friends and fellow musicians Luigi Tenco and Bruno Lauzi. His first success was the single "La Gatta", which has been used in Italian language teaching classes in American middle schools and high schools. "Il cielo in una stanza" was composed in 1959. According to <mask>, the lyrics came to him while lying on a brothel bed.Gazing at the purple ceiling, he thought, "Love can grow at any moment at any place". Mina's single release of the song topped the list of annual sales in Italy and reached Billboard Hot 100. Video performances of the song were included in the movies "Io bacio... tu baci" and "Appuntamento a Ischia". Later it was featured in the "Goodfellas" movie. Carla Bruni Sarkozy covered the song (mixing French with her native Italian) in her debut album ("Quelqu'un m'a dit"). <mask> <mask>'s debut album – <mask> <mask> was released in Italy on 8 October 1961 on Dischi Ricordi. "Il cielo in una stanza" success was followed by "Sapore di sale" (1963), arranged by Ennio Morricone and believed to be his most famous song.In the same year he attempted suicide by shooting himself to the heart (the bullet is still inside his chest). In 1974 he returned with the LP I semafori rossi non-sono Dio, followed by Il mio mestiere (1977). Both showed a

<mask> (1 June 1896 – 7 May 1933) was a Communist Party activist in Bavaria, Germany. <mask> died in the concentration camp at Dachau. His was one of the first concentration camp deaths to be widely reported after the Nazis took power in Germany, although differences of interpretation persisted over whether he had committed suicide in the concentration camp, as stated on his death certificate, or was "beaten to death", as baldly reported in an English newspaper as early as 1934. Life

Early years
<mask> was born in Welsberg, close to Coburg in northern Bavaria, and grew up in nearby Schottenstein. He was the eldest son of a carpenter in the village, and after attending school locally he learned his father's trade. Directly before the war he embarked on a period of itinerant work, during which he worked for the Krupp steel conglomerate in Essen. Between 1914 and 1918 he had to participate in the fighting, serving in both France and Russia.He suffered serious injury, however, which led to a lengthy stay in hospital, after which he became a munitions worker in Munich. <mask> also, in 1916, married his partner Dorothea (Dora). Their son, also called <mask>, had been born on 26 August 1914. The end of the war found the family living in a tiny apartment in Freimann, which was part of the north Munich suburb of Schwabing. Freimann was also the location of the munitions factory, recently opened as a branch operation by Krupp, where <mask> was still working in 1918. Politics
During the revolutionary year that followed the war <mask> attended a succession of political meetings locally, eventually himself hesitantly addressing a workers' meeting in Schwabing. In 1919 he joined the newly formed German Communist Party, becoming a party organiser for South Bavaria.<mask> was away from Munich, visiting his parents in the north of Bavaria, when Eisner was assassinated in February 1919, and he missed out on the subsequent street violence which involved the killings of hundreds of socialists, communists and trades unionists. His political involvement nevertheless intensified, which led to

 frequent encounters with the ultra-conservative Bavarian police and justice services. In March 1921 he received a two-year prison sentence after organising a rally in Munich to protest against the life sentence recently conferred on the communist leader Max Hoelz. However, <mask> was released and placed on probation after serving fifteen months of his two-year sentence. In November 1923 the German Communist Party was briefly declared illegal and <mask> relocated temporarily to Berlin where he continued his party activities. By January 1924 he was in Frankfurt where he was arrested and imprisoned for eight weeks. He was arrested again in September 1924 after attending a meeting at which a fellow party member reported on a recent visit to the Soviet Union.The Communist Party was no longer banned in Germany, however, and after a few days he was released for lack of evidence against him. In 1925 he returned to work as the party secretary of the South Bavarian district Communist Party, which for a time he led. During this period he also served as an officer of the Wood Workers' Union and became involved with the consumer-co-operative movement. In 1927 he attended a training course at the Communist Party Academy in Hohnstein, a short distance to the east of Dresden. Between 1928 and 1933 he sat as a member of the Bavarian Regional Parliament (Landtag), leading the small Communist group in it. In March 1929 <mask>el and  organised a protest demonstration by Munich's unemployed workers. His parliamentary immunity was lifted and he was sentenced to several months of detention.Nazi Germany
Régime change came in January 1933 and the new government lost little time in establishing one-party dictatorship in Germany. A couple of weeks later, on 9 February 1933, <mask> made a speech in the Bavarian Landtag in which he was highly critical of the government's newly introduced labour service obligation (Arbeitsdienstpflicht). Presciently, and using chilling language, he predicted that this was part of a step by step strategy to militarize the young people affected. In April 1933 Dressel held

 a meeting with the local gauleiter, Adolf Wagner in order to protest about the terror being inflicted by the Nazi party's quasi-military wing, the so-called SA. For Dressel the conversation had a personal aspect since his wife Dora had been taken into "protective custody" on 30 March 1933. <mask> himself was arrested by the Bavarian police on 3 May 1933 and taken to the concentration camp at Dachau. His political career made <mask> a high-profile opponent of the régime and his detention was reported prominently in the "Feldmochinger Zeitung" (local newspaper).Dachau
At the concentration camp <mask> was taken to the so-called "Arrest building" where he was kept separate from the other detainees. Over several days he was repeatedly beaten and subjected to water torture and psychological torture techniques by his SS guards. He made a feeble suicide attempt by cutting his wrists with a bread knife, and his wounds were initially bandaged. Later two SA "medical" staff, while pretending to provide assistance, removed the bandages after which <mask> was left on the floor slowly bleeding to death while his guards looked on and the camp doctor was forbidden to intervene. According to another version, <mask> was set upon by guard dogs and then left bleeding to death. The guards concluded the evening with a drunken music party. Report of the death
Although the authorities were content for the death of <mask> to be reported as a suicide, the more graphic details emerged thanks to a fellow detainee called Hans Beimler.Beimler (who would later die fighting in the Spanish Civil War), escaped from the Concentration Camp on the night of 8/9 May after killing an SS guard and donning the man's uniform. Beimler's report of Dressler's death was included in a publication entitled "Im Mörderlager Dachau" ("In the Dachau Murder Camp") which Beimler produced in August 1933. References

On May 25, 1869 <mask> made a grant to the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad of a 100-foot right of way through the Rancho San Pedro. Operation of the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad through the Rancho San Pedro began in 1869. Additional right of way from Wilmington to Rattlesnake (Terminal) Island to the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad was granted in 1871. This was the forerunner of today's Alameda Corridor, an express route for to and from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Ownership disputes
Disputes of <mask>’s ownership of Rancho San Pedro originated with events that occurred while California was under Spanish rule.When Juan José Domínguez died in 1809 and left half of his estate to Cristóbal Domínguez his nephew, Cristóbal did not aggressively defend his claim. The executor of the estate, <mask>, paid off the debts of Juan José and moved in, assuming rights of ownership. Gutiérrez built up the Rancho. He gave Jose Dolores Sepúlveda permission to run cattle on part of the land known as los Palos Verdes. Sepúlveda made improvements and built up his herd. In 1817 Cristóbal asserted his claim to the estate demanding Sepúlveda remove his cattle. Governor Sola issued a decree that the Rancho was the property of Juan José Domínguez and ordering Sepúlveda to leave.Sepúlveda refused; resulting in a stalemate. Then in 1822 Cristóbal again obtained from Governor Sola a decree assigning him the land. The decree was to be presented personally to the ‘’Ayuntamiento’’ of Los Angeles. This was performed by <mask>z. Sepúlveda again refused.

Doña Sepúlveda, the widow,  married Antonio Machado and the family stayed on the Rancho. In 1825 Cristóbal Domínguez died and <mask> moved onto the Rancho with his brothers Nasario and Pedro. <mask> kept up his ownership claims. California had become part of Mexico in 1822, <mask> sought and received two decrees from Mexican Governor Echeandia for removal of the herds of Machado and Sepúlveda, but Governor Echeandia confused matters by at the same time issuing Sepúlveda a conflicting provisional grant of Rancho de los Palos Verdes. The heirs of Sepúlveda, Machado and Gutiérrez refused the decrees obtained by <mask>. In 1834 <mask>, Gutiérrez, and the heirs of Sepúlveda; Juan and José Sepúlveda, presented their claims to Governor José Figueroa.In the Arbitration Decree of 1834 he ruled that despite the decrees to vacate, the Sepúlveda's had taken possession in good faith at a time when Cristóbal Domínguez was not asserting his claim. He awarded them the Palos Verdes area. The remainder of Rancho San Pedro went to <mask>z. Gutiérrez was given no land ownership but could pasture his herds for the remainder of his life. In October 1838 Nathaniel Pryor, husband of Teresa Sepúlveda, the brother in law of Juan and José Sepúlveda petitioned the Governor asking for four thousand acres of land belonging to

<mask> is best remembered for keeping the Rancho San Pedro intact, while most of the other large ranchos were quickly broken up following the end of the Mexican era. While diminished in size, the Rancho lands remained in the hands of the <mask> family via the Dominguez Estate Company, the Dominguez Water Company, and the Watson Land Company. The adobe <mask> built is now both a state and national landmark and is operated as a museum, the Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum. <mask> High School in Compton California was named for him.In 2005, he was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

<mask>, Sr. (March 10, 1908 – January 10, 1966)  was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement and president of the Forrest County chapter of the NAACP in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He was murdered by the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan for his work on recruiting African Americans to vote. Early life and family
<mask> was born on March 10, 1908, in the Kelly Settlement, Forrest County, Mississippi to Ellen Louvenia (Kelly) and <mask>. <mask> was described as an honest, hardworking farmer of integrity. His mother Ellen Kelly was biracial because of her mother, Henrietta. Henrietta was a biracial child born out of wedlock by a white slave owner, O.B Kelly, and one of his slaves. She was given to a black family, called the McCombs.His cousin, Iola Williams, became the first African-American member of the San Jose, California, City Council in 1979. Dahmer attended Bay Spring High School until the tenth grade; failing to graduate. He was light-skinned enough to pass as a white man, but instead chose to forgo the privileges of living as a Caucasian man and faced the daily challenges of being a black man in Mississippi during that time. Dahmer was married three times. His first wife was Warnie Laura Mott (1910–1975); their marriage of seven years ended in divorce in 1935. In 1938, Dahmer remarried; this time to a woman named Ora Lee Smith (1919–1950). Unfortunately, Aura died after a long illness in 1950.Ellie Jewel Davis (born June 27, 1925) was his third and final wife; she was a teacher from Rose Hill, Mississippi, and had recently moved to Forrest County. The couple met after working on the school board together and married in March 1952. The couple had two children together, Dennis and Bettie, to add to the six children Dahmer had with his first two wives (three children from each marriage), making a total of seven boys and one

 registration of a black person if they could answer the question "How many bubbles are in a bar of soap?" In 1950, fifteen leaders of Forrest County's black community, including Dahmer, filed a lawsuit against Cox for his administration of the voting laws; preliminary injunction. Twelve years later, in March 1962, the preliminary injunction was in motion of being viewed by the court of law. Dahmer had testified in court against Luther Cox and his testimony helped demonstrate the pattern of discrimination in the county.In the 1950s, <mask> and Medgar Evers founded a youth NAACP chapter in Hattiesburg. The student chapter did not last longer than a year. Dahmer continued to be supportive of the SNCC throughout the Civil Rights Movement. Dahmer's farm quickly became a home away from home for SNCC volunteers. The farm was also used for registration projects and helped employ the committee volunteers. Dahmer was also working closely with the Coalition for Free and Open Elections (COFO) and the Delta Ministry. Dahmer kept a voter registration book in his grocery store in late 1965 to make it easier for blacks to register.Dahmer also made a public service announcement over the radio stating that he would help the local African American population pay a poll tax for the right to vote if they could not afford to do so themselves. His mantra was, "If you don't vote, you don't count", and those words, which he repeated on his deathbed, were used as his epitaph. Murder and suspects
The Dahmers had been sleeping in shifts because they had been receiving numerous death threats throughout the year. The Dahmers also kept a shotgun by the nightstand and they were willing to use it in case they heard gunshots and needed to return fire and they always kept the curtains tightly drawn at night in order to make it harder for night riders to see

 attack on the Dahmer's home.Thirteen of the men were brought to trial, eight of them were brought to trial on arson and murder charges. Four of the men were convicted and Billy Roy Pitts (Sam Bowers' bodyguard), who had dropped his gun at the crime scene, entered a guilty plea and his gun was turned in as state's evidence. Billy only served three years of his federal prison sentence. However, three out of the four men who were convicted were pardoned within four years. In addition, eleven of the defendants were tried on federal charges of conspiracy to intimidate Dahmer because of his civil rights activities. Former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard Sam Bowers, who was believed to have ordered the murder, was tried four times and each time he invoked the Fifth Amendment. Each trial ended in a mistrial.Twenty-five years after the murder of <mask> and the assault on his family, the case was reopened by the state of Mississippi. The case lasted seven years, and it ended with the conviction and sentencing to life in prison of Imperial Wizard Bowers in 1998. Bowers died in the Mississippi State Penitentiary on November 5, 2006, at the age of 82. Honors and recognition
After Dahmer's death, a street and a park in Hattiesburg were both named in his honor. On July 26, 1986, a memorial to Dahmer was also dedicated at the park. In 1992, Dahmer's widow, Ellie, was elected election commissioner of District 2, Forrest County. For more than a decade, she served in this position, supported by black and white residents, in the same district where her husband was killed for his voting rights advocacy.On January 8, 2016, the Mississippi State Legislature honored the civil rights leader by designating January 10 <mask>er Day. A commemoration ceremony, which was attended by Dahmer's widow and family, was held in Hattiesburg on the 50th anniversary

<mask> (; 19 September 1934 – 27 August 1967) was a British music entrepreneur who managed the Beatles from 1962 until his death. <mask> was born into a family of successful retailers in Liverpool, who put him in charge of their music shop, where he displayed a gift for talent-spotting. He first met the Beatles in 1961 at a lunchtime concert at Liverpool's Cavern Club. Although he had no experience of artist management, <mask> put them under contract and insisted that they abandon their scruff-image in favour of a new clean-cut style. He then persuaded George Martin of EMI group to produce their records. Within months, the Beatles were international stars. <mask> accompanied them to America, where he was besieged by merchandising offers, but had signed away 90 percent of the rights in advance.This is viewed as his one miscalculation. Some of <mask>'s other young discoveries had also prospered under his management. They included Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Tommy Quickly and Cilla Black. In 1967, he died of a sedative overdose, ruled as accidental, at the age of 32. Ancestry

<mask> was Jewish; his grandfather <mask> was Lithuanian Jewish (then part of the Russian Empire) and had arrived in Britain in the 1890s at the age of eighteen. His grandmother Dinah was the daughter of Joseph (a draper) and Esther Hyman, who had emigrated from Russia to Britain ( 1871/72) with their eldest son Jacob. The Hymans had six more children.<mask> married Dinah Hyman in Manchester in 1900. In 1901, Isaac and Dinah were living at 80 Walton Road, Liverpool, with Isaac's sister Rachael <mask>, above the furniture dealership that he founded. Dinah and Isaac's third

After Harry and his brother Leslie had joined the family firm, <mask> founded Epstein and Sons and then enlarged the furniture business by taking over adjacent shops at 62/72 Walton Road to sell a range of other goods, such as musical instruments and household appliances. They called the expanding business NEMS (North End Music Stores), which offered lenient credit terms, and from which Paul McCartney's father once bought a piano. <mask>'s mother Malka (nicknamed "Queenie" by her family, as Malka means "queen" in Hebrew) was also involved in the Hyman furniture business, which also owned the Sheffield Veneering Company.In 2003, the family home on Anfield Road was converted into a Beatles-themed hotel called Epstein House. Early life
<mask> was born on 19 September 1934 in Rodney Street, Liverpool. Harry and Queenie also had another son named Clive, who was born 22 months after his older brother. During World War II the <mask>s moved to Southport, where two schools expelled <mask> for laziness and poor performance, but returned to Liverpool in 1945. The <mask>s lived at 197 Queens Drive, Childwall in Liverpool, and remained there for the next 30 years. <mask>'s parents moved him from one boarding school to another, including Clayesmore School in Dorset. He spent two years at Wrekin College in Wellington, Shropshire, where he was taught the violin.Shortly before his 16th birthday he sent a long letter to his father explaining that he wanted to become a dress designer, but <mask> was adamantly opposed, and after serving a six months'

In December 1952, <mask> was conscripted to do his national service as a data entry clerk into the Royal Army Service Corps, and was posted to the Albany Street Barracks near Regent's Park in London, where he was often reprimanded for not picking up his army pay. After returning to Liverpool, he was put in charge of the Clarendon Furnishing shop in Hoylake and was made a director of NEMS in 1955. In September 1956, he took a trip to London to meet a friend but after being there for only one day, was robbed of his passport, birth certificate, chequebook, wristwatch, and all the money he had in his possession. He did not want his parents to find out, so he worked as a department store clerk until he had earned enough money to buy a train ticket back to Liverpool. Back in Liverpool, he confessed his homosexuality to a psychiatrist—a friend of the <mask> family—who suggested to <mask> that his son should leave Liverpool as soon as possible. During the sessions, <mask> revealed his ambition of becoming an actor, so his parents allowed him to go to London to study.Epstein attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London. His RADA classmates included actors Susannah York, Albert Finney, and Peter O'Toole, but <mask>", or a "straight drama" by John Osborne.

 England. The <mask>s opened a second store at 12–14 Whitechapel, and <mask> was put in charge of the entire operation.He often walked across the road to the Lewis's department store (which also had a music section) where Peter Brown was employed. He watched Brown's sales technique and was impressed enough to lure him to work for NEMS with the offer of a higher salary and a commission on sales. The Beatles

<mask> first noticed the Beatles in issues of Mersey Beat and on numerous posters around Liverpool created by his commercial artist associate Tony Booth, before he asked Mersey Beat editor Bill Harry who they were. Harry had previously convinced <mask> to sell the magazine at NEMS, with the Beatles featured on the front page of its second issue. The Beatles had recorded the "My Bonnie" single with Tony Sheridan in Germany, and some months after its release <mask> asked his personal assistant Alistair Taylor about it in NEMS. <mask>'s version of the story was that customer Raymond Jones walked into the NEMS shop and asked him for the "My Bonnie" single, which made <mask> curious about the group. Taylor later claimed that he had used the name of Jones (a regular customer) to order the single and paid the deposit, knowing that <mask> would notice it and order further copies.Harry and McCartney later repudiated <mask>'s story, as Harry had been talking to <mask> for a long time about the Beatles—the group that he promoted the most in Mersey Beat—with McCartney saying, "<mask> knew perfectly well who the Beatles were; they were on the front page of the second issue of Mersey Beat". On 3 August 1961, <mask> started a regular music column in the Mersey Beat called "Stop the

According to club owner Sytner, <mask> had visited the club quite a few times previously on Saturday nights, once asking Sytner to book a group for his twenty-first birthday party. <mask> asked Harry to arrange for <mask> and his assistant Taylor to watch the Beatles perform. The club allowed <mask> and Taylor to enter without queuing. They bypassed the line of fans at the door and heard Bob Wooler, the resident disc jockey, announce a welcome message over the club's public address system: "We have someone rather famous in the audience today.Mr <mask>, the owner of NEMS ..." <mask> later talked about the performance: "I was immediately struck by their music, their beat and their sense of humour on stage—and, even afterwards, when I met them, I was struck again by their personal charm. And it was there that, really, it all started". After the performance, <mask> and Taylor went into the dressing room (which he later described as being "as big as a broom cupboard") to talk to the group. The Beatles, all regular NEMS customers, immediately recognised <mask>, but before he could congratulate them on their performance George Harrison said, "And what brings Mr <mask> here?" <mask> replied with, "We just popped in to say hello. I enjoyed your performance." He introduced Taylor, who merely nodded a greeting, said, "Well done, then, goodbye" and left.<mask> and Taylor went to Peacock's restaurant in Hackins Hey for lunch, and during the meal <mask> asked Taylor what he thought about the group. Taylor replied that he honestly thought they

Later, when <mask> was paying the bill, he grabbed Taylor's arm and said, "Do you think I should manage them?" The Beatles played at The Cavern Club over the next three weeks, and <mask> was always there to watch them. He contacted Allan Williams (their previous promoter/manager) to confirm that Williams no longer had any ties to the group, but Williams advised Epstein "not to touch them with a fucking barge pole" because of a Hamburg concert percentage that the group had refused to pay.
