actually this was one of questions used by Resistance networks in France when they interogated downed airmen to make sure they were not spies. The answer however was "Texas" (this is not another joke to tease our Texas friends). There was apparently a real "tropical conditions" training camps there). Amercians could have answered that question, not German spies.

This drive me to another question Jack. Were you prepared to tropical warfare, or were your dropped from one theater to another, a bit like the Aussies who went from Norhh Africa to the Jungle without a respite?
