WWII trivia thread

[unmerged(44445)]

Actually, I have another question...
Now I'm NOT sure if the answer I'm thinking is completely true, but I'll ask this one anyway, 'cause I think it's very interesting:

What company made the german uniforms in WWII/during the 3rd Reich?

A friend of mine told me this and I can't be sure if he meant ALL the uniforms or just the SS uniforms or whatever. Don't even remember where he got this info... The interesting thing here is that you might be wearing the same company's clothes right now.

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

from the czech factory/company that designed it.

Which of Guderian's superiors in AGC constantly handcuffed his panzer corps to the slow moving infantry of AGC during Barbarossa?

GFM von Kluge, commanding general of the 4th army at the start of Barbarossa, later commanding general of AGC.

I really don't know, but I doubt that 1 company made them all.

Here's my question(easy one):
Which Japanese general captured the Gibraltar of the East-Singapore?

 

[Tachikaze]

So it doesn't matter if question are not answered at all ? (the murder attempt on Hitler).

Or the question is wrong ? (Which general was chief of the Wehrmacht ? )

Or the answer is wrong ? (Which army/group took Hitler under is his personal command ?)

Just the first one who shouts anything has it right ?

So if I say

Luger = 9mm pistole 08 or 9 milimeter pistole 08

But if someone before me says luger = 0.357 magnum and you are happy with that answer he is correct ?

Strange rules you have :rofl:

You have no clue as to what common sense is, huh? Try to use this as a rule of thumb: if the asker of the question confirms the answer, use it as correct, until then, don't ask more questions (unless you are 100% sure of your answer of course) because that's exactly what leads up to situations when questions are ignored/forgotten such as you describe. When the asker has confirmed, you ask another question. If the asker decides to ask another question anyway, you might go for that one instead. For that matter, I wasn't at all complaining about the fact that you were correcting answers, actually I appreciated it, but the fact was that you were "cutting in line" for asking questions and did so completely out of order.

Answer a question, then you ask one. Ok?

Hugo Boss... Again must say that can't be 100% sure of that. Interesting though...

They designed and manufactured uniforms for the SA, SS, HJ. Wehrmacht.

But they would hardly have been the only manufacturor, that would be impossible.

Don't take it so serious, it is just a game.
I can ask or answer any question I like.

Was my answer of the luger correct ?

EDIT
Oops that is a question and my answer hasn't been confirmed

Well the first plans for Fall Fritz, later to be known as Barbarossa were drawn up by General Marcks (still Colonel then, he was a division general in Normandy in 1944) of the General Staff.
