2. Sonderfahndungsliste G.B.--the black book listing people to be arrested after the German invasion. 5 correct answers (Richter von Manthofen; Greyh Seer; Prideofthe Royalnavy; The Tirpitz and drittal)
3. Romanian--the plane is French; the photo is at http://www.worldwar2.ro/foto/?id=137&area=31 (no correct answers)
4. The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (no correct answers)
5. Blohm und Voss 138 6 correct answers (Cmdr_Clint, RvManthofen, Lucky Y, Sieur_Joseph, Pride of the Royal Navy, drittal)
6. Gerald Ford 6 correct answers (Lucky Y, drittal, afilter, Prideofthe RoyalNavy, GreyhSeer, RvManthofen)
7. Spanish destroyer Jose Luis Diez 8 correct answers (Cmdr Clint, Prideofthe RoyalNavy, Frugal Bob, drittal, RvManthofen, grimreaper 1066, Greyh Seer, Raevski)
8. Hanna Reitsch 11 correct answers (drittal, NjCo, PrideoftheRoyalNavy, Indy Sparky, Tincancaption, weasel, frugal bob, lucky Y, grimreaper 1066, Cmdr Clint, RvManthofen) I was looking for the German kamikaze program, but the question wasn't specific enough. I gave credit to anyone who identified the picture.
9. Blenheim Mk I 4 correct answers (lucky Y, The Tirpitz, PrideoftheRoyalNavy, drittal)
10. Franz Kutschera, police chief of Warsaw. The Polish government-in-exile tried him in absentia and ordered his execution by the Home Army.
1 correct answer (frugal bob)
11. Naples (no correct answers)
12. Akagi 4 correct answers (afilter, drittal, Jameson, arisaka99)
Sorry it took so long, but we had to verify the answer. We are 99% sure of the ID on this. If anyone has evidence to the contrary (other than the one website that lists it as the Ryujo), we will be glad to consider it.
13. Miss Lace was the main character in Male Call. This strip was drawn by Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates, Steve Canyon) and featured a scantily clad young lady who dated enlisted men and scorned officers. Caniff contributed it free of charge as his part in the war effort and it appeared in over 3000 camp newspapers throughout the world, approximately 500 more than Peanuts or Garfield. Jane was the British equivalent and featured a young lady who had an even smaller clothing allowance than Miss Lace.
(no correct answers)
14. Claus von Stauffenberg 1 correct answer (sieur joseph)
15. Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria 1 correct answer (the lucky Y)
16. Fairey Fantome or Feroce 2 correct answers (drittal; Richter vM)
17. Operation Vegetarian--Gruinard island was used to test anthrax. Operation Dark harvest was a terrorist plot late in the 20th century trying to force the UK into cleaning up the island
5 correct answers (Richter vM; Cmdr Clin t; drittal; frugal bob; Greyh Seer)
18. Ho-K, a Japanese engineering vehicle to clear jungle
1 correct answer (Raevski)
19. Richard O'Kane US submariner 1 correct answer (frugal bob)
20. Oscar Schindler 1 correct answer (Cmdr Clint)

I was so certain that these were French paras. I even checked with French para photos and couldn't spot difference with this one, but oh well... I wouldn't have thought to check Romanians. Cool question  .

You guys are too good. I've really got to work to find questions.
Besides, Raevski should have answered the Romanian one.

ya know, I thought of Naples, but I didn't think of it as a "major" european city. I was thinking Rome, Paris, Warsaw, etc...
Always go with your first instinct. Dang it.

During the war, the population of the city of Naples was about 1 million. Rome was 1.2 million.
