Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Six ships,
If they would've sailed together would've arguably formed the fastest destroyer squadron in the world.
Name the class ?

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
On page 1, question #1 PzJgr. and Za were not correct on their answer about the only general killed in action during WWII.
So to get things going again give me anouther general.
Hints: B-17, France, big fortress

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
I'll bite.
"The Doctors were brutalized by their ordeal and became inured to ragged stumps where strong, youthful arms and legs had been, to eyes that had been shattered by concussion, to an unending variety of holes in human flesh, to grisly burns, to oozing hamburger like chests, and backs, and abdomens, to exposed intestines, to the beseeching eyes of damaged teenagers."
Never designed as a Hospital ship, but took on the job of one.
Before she sailed to Pearl Harbor she had 550 wounded men below decks, a number (believe it or not) surpassed...to 600 at another place.
Name the ship.

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
German weapon consisting of a fighter piggy backed ontop of a bomber. The bomber would be filled with explosives. The pilot would be in the figther, fly the bomb and release the bomber and guide it via radio to its target.
I wonder how successful these were?

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
That is correct PzJgr and a beautiful picture too! Mistels were anti aerodynamic and a failure. It's all yours.
