The official AHF WW2 Western Europe quiz thread

Maybe it was Stalag VI-C? 1,721 (I have seen slightly different numbers) POWs liberated, all of them females (plus some babies )?

Hmm, the quiz seems to have come to a grinding halt, not unlike Operation Typhoon...

Maybe a hint as to his nationality or an engagement in which he could have been involved?

[Attrition]

Pierre* Joubelin?

*Andre I mean....

[Graham Clayton]

Aleks,

Could you give the answer to your question?

I'll post a new question - when Adolf Hitler visited Paris in June 1940, he ordered two monuments in the city to be destroyed. Who were the individuals commemorated on these monuments?

[Attrition]

Marx and Engels?

[Graham Clayton]

Attrition,

Not Marx and Engels. The two people who were the subjects of the statues served in WW1.

[Polar bear]

hi,

General Charles Mangin, Commander of colonial troops (with statues of coloured men among those surrounding his memorial) and nurse Edith Cavell, executed as a spy by the Germans.

greetings, the pb

[Graham Clayton]

Polar Bear,

Correct - your turn to ask a question.
