OK, I'll have to owe Panzerknacker a beer instead... 
During the later stages of the War, the German military authorities called for personnel who were considered dispensible from any unit to be nominated for service on the Eastern Front.
What ( very ) slang term was given to this process ? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ok, the answer was:
In the jungles of Nicaragua and Honduras, the battle of Guadalcanal was won.
The tactics used by Marines in jungle fighting throughout the Pacific war were developed during American involvment in Honduras and Nicaragua.
Ill think of a new question
