Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
By a Russian in Finland.
I don't know his name, or the name of who killed him, or when it was.
Many different "web" places say that a Russian killed the first American in Finland and nothing else.

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
Cool....
In what mountain range, was the distance between the air-strip and enemy positions so short, that the Corsairs didn't even have time to raise their landing gear before dropping their (napalm) ordinance?

Re: WWII Forums Quiz Part VII
I still don't understand the original question about the American killed in Finland by the Russians or maybe Sweden by a Norwagian or UFO. 
His underware was different shades of brown when he saw the bomb coming at him.

Arneken gave the next question to Skunk. I bet I know what Wil question will be next time.
Here is the current question
