Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Hey, I went to nursing school, not a real university.
Who was the only American infantryman to fight for both the US and the Soviet Union during the war?

Correct Slava.
Sergeant Beyrle's story was told in the book, Behind Enemy Lines, by Thomas H. Taylor.
It was a good read, I recommend it.
Your go, Slava.
edit....sorry about the terrible delay, I forgot about this thread plus I was away from a pc most of the weekend.

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
I am a Soviet agent stationed in Japan before the outbreak of the War on Russia.
I am one of the few who had credible information of the inevitable attack on Mother Russia.
I was captured by the Japanese and after Stalin denied my very existence I was hanged in 1944.
Who am I?

You know, I had an idea of several individuals who would probably guess this right away.

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Uninspired for a question so I'll ask an old favourite so as not to slow the quiz  .
Soviet Front companies for purchasing technology in the 1930's.
One worked in the States and one in Great Britain.
What were they called?
