Hi, your quiz has finally forced me out of lurking status.

26) By the end of the war Canada was making 60% of which Allied machinegun?
I take a stab and say the Bren gun.

38) Which German Panzer Divisions used the Pz35(t) as their main equipment during the fighting in Russia? 6th Panzer is one of them...what are the others?
I remember that Rommel's 7th used them in France so I imagine they still had them in Russia. Going to guess that the 5th was the third as I remember that the 3 that used Czech equipment in France were consecutively numbered.

40) What was the single most effective weapon that airforces of all nations employed during WWII not counting the atomic bomb?
I'm hoping its not something as obvious as the gun.

48) Which Allied fighter is credited with destroying more Axis aircraft than any other?
I vaguely remember the P-38 being credited with shooting down the most Japanese planes so I'm going with that as a guess.

49) Which is the only unit to have fought at Normandy, Arnhem, Aachen, the Huertgen Forest, in the Ardennes offensive, at the Reichswald and in the Ruhr Pocket?
The British 1st Airbourne?

62) Who did the first combat assault of the Rhine River?
Its either the French in their half hearted 1939 invasion of Germany or the Germans themselves in the assault on the Maginot line.

75) What was the first enemy ship captured on the high seas, by the US Navy, since 1815?
U-505?

80) The Electric Boat Company was the largest builder of what type of ship for the US Navy?
The liberty ships.

96) Where is the last Japanese soldier known to have surrendered?
He wandered out of the Jungle in 1975 in the Phillipines I beleive.

Here's a small one back at you - can you name the congressional medal of honor winner who only joined the army to avoid jail, did not get along well with his fellow air man and only ever flew one combat mission. When the brass arrived to award him his medal he couldn't be found at first because he ticked off the officers again and had been assigned to kp as punishment.

38) Which German Panzer Divisions used the Pz35(t) as their main equipment during the fighting in Russia? 6th Panzer is one of them...what are the others?
Well it will either be the 6th/7th or 8th? (ex Leichte Divs) One of the OOB's in the game WIR (War in Russia) shows the 6th as having 2 Bats of Pz35t's so I'll go for that.
42) Which German Panzer Division entered Russia by driving submerged under a river?
50/50 chance here. Its either the 3rd or 4th Pz Dv which crossed R.Bug south of Brest Litovsk. (Part of Guderians 2nd Pz Gruppe) I'll pick the 3rd. I think only some of the tanks were converted not the whole Division.
43) What does the term "cat fur" refer to when talking about German tanks?
Is it the Zimmermit paint?
46) The T-34 was the most produced vehicle by the Soviet Union. What was the Soviet Union's second most produced vehicle?
I'll go for the T-60 light tank.

I'll go backwards I guess (which is what a lot of these answers are)

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger meant Pearl Harbor had been located and attacked by the Japanese planes.

I think the Lutzow had it's stern blown off by a British submarine off Norway.

The Japanese had a radar set delivered to them from Germany via U-Boat.

The Electric Boat Company built US SUBmarines.

The US Navy sank it's first U-Boat by ramming it.

The Polish Parachute Brigade made a combat assault across the Rhine to link-up with the British 6th Para's bridgehead downstream from Arnhem. September 1944.

Reindeer were also used for transport animals on the Eastern Front.

Was the 'Backhand Manuever' Guderian's turn south to surround Kiev, done under extreme protest?

Kharkov changed hands the most times, but I can't count them.

I would think the Germans first encountered the T-34 on June 22, 1941.

Going back to the first set, it is difficult to recall exact divisions. I would guess either the 2nd or 10th Panzer was outfitted with Czech (t)-38 tanks....a Panzer division formed in the late spring of 1941 via promotions from existing divisions, and not used in June 1941 as it was still forming-up? (Jul/Aug reinforcement phase I guess). Possibly the 20th also. I am not surprised one is the 6th Panzer, which I think was regularly given experimental equipment, such as the little radio-controlled vehicles loaded with explosive charges, used in the assault of Sevastopol in 1942. This is why the 2nd German engineer unit in WiF, the motorized 2-5, is designated '6 Pz'. That could be a good trivia question....what was the first country to use a military robot in combat? Not even sure if that would qualify though.

A German division used the experimental "Schwimmpanzer" devices to cross the Bug River during the first week of Barbarossa. I would guess the 3rd Panzer. This has led to the creation of a WiF counter in the last counter sheet, one I very much look forward to toying with on some victorious German campaign racking up objective hexes in the Indian Ocean or something. Anyone get that thing across a beach yet?

Hey, there is also that dreaded JagdTiger, isn't it ?

Edit : Humm, there is also that bizarre hybrid with a Tiger hull and some kind of ugly mortar-like gun, isn't it ?
I'm not too much skilled in tanks.

All the same, except the Panther, king of all Tanks !!!

Ah, but the Jagdtiger is a tank-destroyer and not a tank

And a tank chassis with an artillery-piece mounted on it is a self propelled artillery

No, that's not correct.

Not exactly. They knew when they launched the aircraft that they had reached Pearl Harbor safely. That's close but not exactly the right answer.

quote:

100) It tipped them over with its wings

Yes, that's correct. The Tempest was fast enough to catch the V-1 and then they flipped them over with their wingtips and made them crash.

Good Hunting.

The most manueverable plane in WWII was the Northrop P-61 Black Widow. As a night fighter it had Northrop's "Flaperons" that gave the big plane amazing control.

Tiger 1 Ausf E
Tiger B (King Tiger)
Are the only real combat version I know about, but I know that there were a later "model" with a bigger engine, as well as some 50 or so Tigers built with the "Porsche"-turret (are those two different versions in this answer?)

Hey, there is also that dreaded JagdTiger, isn't it ?

Edit : Humm, there is also that bizarre hybrid with a Tiger hull and some kind of ugly mortar-like gun, isn't it ?
I'm not too much skilled in tanks. All the same, except the Panther, king of all Tanks !!!

Ah, but the Jagdtiger is a tank-destroyer and not a tank
And a tank chassis with an artillery-piece mounted on it is a self propelled artillery

You're right. That question should read can you name the five members of the tiger family that were used in combat in the war?

Because only two Tiger tanks were used. The Tiger I and the Tiger II.

The rest are "variations" on a theme....

Good Hunting.

34) What two hammer blows were triggered on the anniversary of Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union? They were the same year and were set to compliment each other.

43) What does the term "cat fur" refer to when talking about German tanks? Guderian was referring to the fact that when German tank crews fought in Tigers and Panthers they didn't use good tactics. They considered the big tanks invincible. Guderians comment was that "cat fur" didn't stop Allied AT rounds.

44) When called a "Lucky Bastard" which American general replied, "I'd rather be lucky than good. Good will only take you so far but luck will take you all the way." Patton

45) Which country used dogs to attack tanks? Russia. The mine dogs were trained to run under tanks to get fed. The Soviets then strapped an antitank mine to their back. When they ran under a tank the mine was detonated. In combat though the dogs got confused and scared when shot at and ran back to Soviet lines. Then they went and hid....under Soviet tanks.

46) The T-34 was the most produced vehicle by the Soviet Union. What was the Soviet Union's second most produced vehicle? The SU-76, which the Soviet crews affectionately called "The Bitch" because of it's unpopularity with it's crews.

47) The British tried to deploy the Mosquito aircraft to the Pacific theater. Why was it called back? The glue that held the wooden plane togeher wouldn't stay setup as it did in the colder climates of NWE. The plane literally fell apart in the Pacific theater.

48) Which Allied fighter is credited with destroying more Axis aircraft than any other? The P-38. I'm surprised that it took so long for a right answer on this one. The P-38 is one of only two fighters that fought in North Africa, the Med, Italy and North West Europe. The other being the P-40. The P-38 is credited with both the most Japanese planes destroyed and the most Axis planes destroyed. Which isn't suprising considering the theaters it served in. The top two American aces both flew P-38's. Major Richard Bong with 40 kills and Major Thomas (Tommy) B. McGuire with 38 kills.

49) Which is the only unit to have fought at Normandy, Arnhem, Aachen, the Huertgen Forest, in the Ardennes offensive, at the Reichswald and in the Ruhr Pocket?

The answer to this is the 116th Panzer Division.

50) What plane did the Japanese call the "Whistling Death"? The F4U Corsiar.

Thanks to all those that participated in the quiz.

Good Hunting.
