The official AHF Allies & Neutral States quiz thread

[varjag]

And an old hand like Polar Bear - had no trouble identifying the German weathership EXTERNSTEINE as USS CALLAO
after it's surrender in Greenland.

Carry on PB!, Varjag

?

[Polar bear]

hi, Olivier,

let me make an "educated guess" ...

The USN boarding party / prize crew of USS Omaha (CL-4) and USS Somers (DD 381) aboard the captured German blockade runner ODENWALD, tarned as US freighter WILLMOTO.

greetings, the pb

[mescal]

Exactly,
USA was still neutral by that time.

Your turn !

[Polar bear]

hi, Olivier,

yes, and the cover story for capturing her was that she was suspected of slave trading

New question: Which major Allied warship went into an engagement just 10 days after commissioning ?

greetings, the pb

[mescal]

HMS Victorious - commissioned on 14th May.
Launched a strike against Bismarck at ~10pm on the 24th May.

[Polar bear]

hi, Olivier,

well done; quite fast, and correct, too

over to France !

greetings, the pb

[mescal]

Thank you, pb.

[mescal]

Damn,
I didn't see the picture was directly available from the MS 406 wikipedia page ...
(I found it on a webpage about the Syrian campaign).

Anyway, another perfect answer, Ironmachine.

Up to you ...
