Narrative:
I landed with a 90 degree crosswind and when I touched down, the wind pushed the tail around so that the airplane veered to the right. I applied full left rudder and then full left rudder with brake to stop the aircraft from veering to the right. The airplane nosed over abruptly and then went back down, causing damage to the propeller, nose cone, cowling, possibly internally, and the tailwheel.
