WWII Forums Quiz Part VII

Was it Hitler who ordered Operation Weserübung after the Altmark was stopped by the British fleet on Feb 16th? (Weserübung was decided on March 1st and launched on April 9th).
my second guess : an allied expedition force (British and French went to NARVIK early April to control the Iron road )

 

Yes, Hitler ordered it but he gave the planning to someone else and it did not last long really...Who planned, on what, and how long it took?

 

Was it Admiral RAEDER?

 

the name starts with Fa..., he was a general and....

 

General von Falkenhorst?

 

for PzJgr
Didn't General Maurice Rose of the 3rd Armored Division get shot by the Germans trying to surrender (give them his gun), or something like that?
Does that count?

 

Yes he did. His convoy of several jeeps ran into a German column trying to get out of the Ruhr pocket and he was killed trying to surrender.

 

Yes, Skipper. It was General Falkenhorst. I will give it to you as you are closest. He made a sketch in five hours which was accepted. I might be wrong but some sources claim it was on the back of a tobacco pack first...

ANyway, over to you, Skipper!

 

Ok. here it is. Can you name a man who was proscuted at Nurnenberg (he got away free) , had Danish Ancestry, whose father emigrated to the U.S. and whose middle names where those of a famous Amercain Journalist. He was never a member of the Nazi party but had a high position in the 1930s and was therefore accused by the allies in 1946.

 

Franz Von Papen?

 

No sorry, here is a hint: the two middle names are Amercan and are
Horace Greeley.

 

All right: another hint . He was the director of the REICHSBANK, the Minister of Economy in the 30s and AH's "economy wonder man" because he saved the Mark after the inflation. He did not precisely kill anybody, but his money allowed the Nazis to go to war. He was wrongly accused on July 20th 1944 to be part of the plot and fell in disgrace , but in fact he had taken his distances with the Regime before the war.

 

Dr. Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht ?

 

Yes Kai! Congratulations, it's your go now!

 

Ok! Thanx!

Next question:

What´s the weird thing about this man in the picture?? Very rare indeed. If you know, you know....

 

Good answer Otto but sorry not what I am looking for. It has something to do what he is NOT wearing actually.

 

A BELT?

 

Lower...lower...if you check old pics you´ll soon notice what is different...

 

umm, It seems like he's got two different soles, I can't see whether he's wearing shoes instead of his usual boots, so my guess would be two different (size of ) boots?
