Hello again and happy new year to you!

Besides knowing I've seen the picture before but not being able to find it again
I'll have to rely on memory... Is it Ernst Kaltenbrunner?


waleed

[Ironmachine]

No, this guy is not Kaltenbrunner.

[Ironmachine]

Hint: he is not German, but...

[John Hilly]

Austrian...

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

he is not German, but...

British! And now I remember where I saw him...
Had I been able to see his scar I would have known the first time

William Joyce, aka Lord Haw Haw!


waleed

[Ironmachine]

Yes, this time you got it right.
Over to you, waleed.

[Waleed Y. Majeed]

Thanks but no thanks this time. I leave it open for others.

As there has been no question asked for over a month, I will suggest one.

The first US serviceman to die in WW2 was not at Pearl Harbour, but 18 months earlier. Who was he, where did he die, and what was he doing there?

[Ironmachine]

Robert M. Losey, U.S. Army Air Force, killed by a German air raid in Norway on 21 April 1940. He was attaché to Norway and Sweden.

My question: Who?

[Ironmachine]

Hint: he was involuntarily involved in a very controversial operation.

[Polar bear]

hi,

... in a very controversial operation.

Market Garden ? ... I had thought "he" might be Maj. Julian Cook (he isn´t) till I found his picture.

greetings, the pb

[Ironmachine]

No, not Market Garden. Something much smaller in size and much more limited in scope...
