HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
A German soldier buried his body in ice and covered his head with branches

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
A German soldier buried his body in ice and covered his head with branches during World War II. He did this because during the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans were completely surrounded with no way to escape. So to avoid death, they cut holes under the ice and even let their toes freeze. Also they can fool the Soviets and escape.
