    Ok everyone, a two part question. Eisenhower had drawn up a plan in 42 for the invasion of the French mainland. What was the plan and where was the landing site?

    I thought sledgehammer was a landing at Calais in 1942?

    Okay, On the Dieppe raid, one man was given a body guard of 10 men to "protect" him in the event of his capture. Who is he and why was it so important that he not be captured?

    Definitely a great question but after having read alot on Dieppe remembered this instantly.

    OK, next question.

    What was the event in 1917 that is seen as amrking the beginning of communist revolution in St Petersburg?

    ;)

    The sign for the Red Guards to attack the Winter Palace was a shell fired by the naval ship the "Aurora".

    At Anzio the men of the FSSF left calling cards on the Germans that they killed. What was written on the cards?
