    This is a common battlecry, but I didn't find a WW2 relation.

    That'll do, KM - it was called 'Bungay' by the USAAF hence the sobriquet 'Bungay Buckaroos'.... [​IMG]

    This German general officer lost his youngest son at Cassino, which made him change his mind about the régime, thus changing his position after 1944.

    The régime obviously took repraisals and arrested his oldest son, a former Panzer lieutenant, crippled for a serious wound received at Khárkov.

    Who is he?

    OK… he was a field marshal… which reduces the posibilities down to 25 guys. ;)

    Was it Field Marshal Wilhelm List?

    And to through in another quick quiz, how many submarines were sunk by other submarines during WWII?

    Welcome aboard, Diver! ;) Hope you like the forum.

    One: the answer's wrong. It was not Wilhelm List. Clue, it was one of the 1943 field marshals.

    Two: I don't think you can't make any question until you answer one and get your turn. ;)

    Let's try Ernst Busch. It is unlikely either Kleist or Weichs is the candidate as both are a bit on the old side to have kids still running around getting shot at.

    Nope.

    Last hint:

    The man never received his marshal's batton.
