I missed one Date the WWII started.....

[JohnR]

12 out of 12. I guessed at the Casablanca conference, and wasn't 100% sure which country had the most concentration camps.

[ripley16]

12 out of 12. The concentration camp question made me think. A study showed that Germany did a lot of decentralization with slave labor and there were in fact about 80,000 sites identified as using slave labor. Most of them in Germany. These small camps, shops and even homes are not normally counted as "concentration" camps though.

My dad served in the Pacific theater. My mom worked at Oak Ridge. They did their part, made a good life, and never looked back.

I doubt the U.S. could duplicate the effort made then, today. We are two and soon to be three separate countries. We'd never unite as we did then. Sad.

[Bawanna]

Missed one, the two countries that got annexed. Admittedly I had to guess on a few but got lucky.

[b4uqzme]

^^^ better to be lucky than smart. Just sayin'. :D

[kwh]

The entire 1st page was covered up by pop-up ads which would not go away. Answered and saw only one question which I got right.

[gunmut]

12/12

[RevRay]

12 of 12, but a couple were educated guesses.

[O'Dell]

12/12 No doubts

[AJBert]

Should have been 12/12 but I disagree with the date for the start of WWII. The invasion of Poland did not start WWII, the invasion of the Sudenlands did, IMHO. European leaders "overlooked" that invasion so as to not start a war which just gave Hitler the confidence that no one would stand up to him. The same goes for which countries didn't resist an invasion. Though, the Sudenlands wasn't a country but an area.

Not the best "test" for one to take to determine knowledge of WWII.

[DanTana]

I scored 100%.

[fgcm]

11/12
I checked Sep. 29 instead of Sep. 1.
I confess I didn't remember the day of the invasion of Poland.

Me too, got the year right but not the month.

Should have been 12/12 but I disagree with the date for the start of WWII. The invasion of Poland did not start WWII, the invasion of the Nederlands did, IMHO. European leaders "overlooked" that invasion so as to not start a war which just gave Hitler the confidence that no one would stand up to him. The same goes for which countries didn't resist an invasion. Though, the Nederlands wasn't a country but an area.

That's the one I missed I had Oct '39 not sept '39

[Baklash]

I missed only the date of the start. I happen to agree with AJBert's opinion.
