Well, he gained a reputation as an artillery guy, i suppose, because i seem to associate him with that.

anyway...
Here's for another five, vague, clues. These clues will not have so much to do with the war. I'm sure you gentlemen know the war well enough. Knock yourselves out.

1. Politic career after the war.
2. Assassinated.
3. Very noble blood. (go figure what very means)
4. Good relations with his country's leader during the war, steadily downhill afterwards.
5. Seriously considered an act of treason, but never carried it out.

That guy who gave India and Pakistan Independence? Can't remember his name... Mountbatten?

I'm positive it's him. He's related to someone of royalty, can't remember, and be commanded British commandoes in Southwest Asia. He was assassinated and was wounded by a bomb. He oversaw and appointing of Pakistan and India an independent government.

K then. Next question. This should be fairly easy.

1) He was son of a naval captain.
2) He served as the naval attache in Berlin, Germany.
3) He was on the USS Enterprise during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
4) He wanted Naval Command to end the preparation for the Invasion of Peleliu, as he thought the Philippines was much more important.
5) He was one of the higher American leaders present on the USS Missouri during the formal surrender of the Japanese in 1945.
6) He contributed to the motto "Hit fast, hit hard, hit often."

Airey Neave?

Is it Jimmy Stewart?


Unfortunately I have no Idea who your talking about Soar..

By the way ...who's turn is it to go!!

Unfortunately, neither do I. However, I think it can be reasoned out. Not many people were ministers of defense for one of the few Axis countries before the war started. And he died in 1948.

No. Mick Carney was Halsey's CoS and as a blackshoe would not have commanded a carrier division, after 1942 cardivs were commanded exclusively by brownshoes. Big, Big, Hint - - - when this gent retired he was CJCS.
