Sorry Panzers, and correct Capitan. It was Ernest Hemmingway.

jesperpehrson -> RE: OT - WWII quiz (8/4/2008 11:05:20 AM)
hehe that was a lucky guess! :-) I remember him fighting in Spain during the civil war so why not in France?

Was it Billy Bishop? And is it apocryphal, or can it be attributed to a reliable source?

I will answer my remaining question as noone has even guessed. During Operation Overlord both Ernest Hemingway and his wife both worked as a corrospondent for different newspapers. During D-Day Ernest was not allowed ashore, but his wife dressed up as a Red Cross nurse and was thus allowed ashore, where she would start writing and taking pictures. This was something her husband did not forgive her that easily. Q1: What tank is this? [image]local://upfiles/11504/B8B744AD645C465788193F6B5363577F.jpg[/image] Q2: What new assignment did Himmler recieve at November 26th 1944? Q3: The British tank A22 or Infantry Tank MArk IV was also known under what name?

Who were the two Toothless Terrors - and a supplementary, which song by the Police featured these two (although they weren`t singing about the WWII versions?

terje439 -> RE: OT - WWII quiz (8/9/2008 7:04:04 AM)
ARGH! I know this...Was it not two cruisers? Think the name came from the size of the guns they carried? (so much for the "size does not matter" thingy [:D]). But the names? And not sure about the nationality. And POLICE song?? Nah THAT one I will not be able to solve for sure.. These two still stand btw: Q2: What new assignment did Himmler recieve at November 26th 1944? Q3: The British tank A22 or Infantry Tank Mark IV was also known under what name? post count: 666 Side note: OOO wicked post count!!! Up the Irons!!

Warspite1 Yes it was two cruisers - yes the nicknames were to do with the weaponry. I`ll leave the question open a bit longer. Devilishly good post count!

Bassist Steve Harris played for their youth team I think. I'll take a guess on the tank. Valentine? Cheers, Neilster.

Yea "Up the Irons" can be both Iron Maiden and West Ham, but when it comes from me it will always be in reference to Iron Maiden [8D] I'll give you correct on Steve Harris [;)] He did indeed play for the West Ham youth team (and they still try to play a football game whenever they stay long enough on one spot), and I believe his son is now playing for a PL youth team atm. The tank is not the Valentine either. Not too many more to guess on now [:D]

Q2: He was made President 4 times in an election. No other President served more than 2 terms and I belive it was traditional for the president to step down after the second term. I am sure that the change in the constitution was to put a limit on the terms a President may serve. -Orm

I should know this as I read it when researching my write-ups but have forgotten [&:] 2. FDR was made president for a third time in 1944? after which a limit of 2 was put in place. 3. I`m running out of C`s - Comet?
