Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen!

I’d like to present the first in a series of WWII trivia. As many of you know I’m no WWII expert (and everyone collectively said “no shit” :mad:;)) so I went to multiple web sites to find the questions/answers. You can too I suppose however try to answer them without any aids. Tomorrow morning I will post the answers and produce another quiz.


If you want the answers straight away post that in your response and I will send you them via PM.



#1 What year did Japan & Russia sign a peace treaty?

#2 True or False: 80% of all Russian males born in 1923 died in WWII?

#3 Which country declared war on Japan first; Canada, Mexico or the U.S.?

#4 What was the only independent South American country to send ground troops with over 25k sent?

#5 What was the only country to protest against the German annexation of Austria in 1938?

#6 What nation’s population suffered the highest percentage of deaths?

#7 The first German serviceman killed was done so by a soldier from what country?

#8 Which U.S. service branch suffered the most deaths; the US Air or Marine Corps?

#9 What board game did Allied POW’s receive (via the Red Cross) that aided thousands of escapes from German POW camps?

#10 Adler Tag refers to?

#11 The landings on the southern coast of France in 1944 were known as?

If you want any hints let me know
ALSO: If you don't want to see what other responses are don't scroll down

Good Luck
Peace

(Promise I didn't do any googling)

1. I am going to guess it was after the border skirmishes, so maybe... 1938?

2. I know Russia lost a hell of a lot of men, and the date is very precise, so I think true

3. Canada maybe? Since it was a British colony....but mexico is an odd option, so I am going to guess mexico

4. It can't be Brazil, that would be to obvious (in before it is), so lets go.... Bolivia?

5. I swear it was Mexico again? Or was that the reoccupation of the Rhineland...

6. 100% it was Poland

7. I have no idea, lets go with.... Scottish bomber

8. US Air

9. MONOPOLY IT WAS REAL MONEY I KNOW THIS ONE

10. Just nope

11. Not D-Day?
