    No. More hints:

    Her first name was Jeanette.
    She was born in Missoula, Montana.
    She was a member of Congress... for pretty long time.

    Jeanette Rankin- Voted against war twice, once in 1917, and again in 1941. She was the only person to vote against war with Japan claiming Roosevelt had provoked the Japanese.

    During the Allied raids on Hamburg, the allies used devices known as "Window". What were these devices and what were they used for?

    Correct, they fooled both ground and nightfighter radar, but the Germans quickly found a way around it after the Hamburg raids.

    Over to you Knight

    Leitung actually the Luftwaffe night fighter and ground control never got around the aluminum foil strips dropped by RAF a/c. Although developing different airborne radars with alternating frequencies, window, düppel or whatever you want to call it could and did defeat the aerial radar systems

    Thanx Knight!

    How many copies of the Wannsee protocol were made and how many were found after the war?

    30 were made, 2 were found. Slight differences between these 2 are used as a lame revisionist argument that they are fake.

    Hmmm...

    The 30 copies is correct but Wiesenthal ( and many other sites )gives a different number on the found copies(?) which is one only.This doesn´t mean that you´re wrong on this but it makes a dilemma on whether I can accept your answer. Can you give the number of the copy that is referred to mostly, Knight? If this is correct you get to ask!

    Hint: My source is the front page of a website in Austria. It's about Ritterkreuz recipients, which is why its URL is easy to guess.
