OK, so it's not a race. Good to know.

 

1. What was known as the “Champagne Campaign”?

2. What American General made the famous quote “We will start the war right here”?

3. Who said this and what was he referring too? “I had hoped we were hurling a wildcat onto the shore, but all we got was a stranded whale”.

4. The BBC broadcast this phrase by shortwave radio “Wounds my heart with monotonous languor.” Why did the BBC broadcast this?

5. Adolph Hitler. He was almost known by another name. What name was that and the reason?

6. “Nuts” was this General’s answer to a German Surrender demand. Who was he?

7. What was the codename for the German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941? This operation was actually delayed about 6 weeks. No need to answer this part of the question unless you are a ww2 buff. Why was the invasion delayed 6 weeks? The war could have had a much different outcome if this delay didn’t happen. (hint: Thanks Italy!)

Bonus question: How long have you been collecting and do you like the new Lincoln proof dollar and do you like Franklin and Walking Liberty Half Dollars?

 

Ok...no peaking at your neighbors exam

 

PM sent. I'm hoping speed was part of it, because I was searching as fast as I could

 

No..speed wasn't a factor on this one. Smoke must be coming out of your keyboard though!

 

PM sent.

PM Sent thanks for the contest! I learned quite a bit!

 

PM SENT! Wow This is a really cool contest! I actually learned a couple of things. Thanks, that was really FUN! :thumb:

 

4 entries. All have done very well!

 

Even if you don't think you know the answers you can try to answer some. An entry gives you a chance to win the 2 runner up prizes of Franklin and Walkers and maybe a few more coins.

 

Glad this was not a speed thing. I got caught up in reading the history. Thanks!
