    #11 is #1 - The Battle of Midway. The Battle of Leyté (pronounced, more correctly, as; laytaye) was the American invasion of The Philippines :)
    #22 - "The Desert Fox", was 'Erwin Rommel' - and the commander of THE BRITISH FORCES was 'Bernard Law Montgomery'..! (- NOT Burns.. 😛)

    Question 22 is wrong. The "Desert Fox" was the GERMAN commander of North Africa troops - Erwin Rommel, later assigned control of the "Atlantic Wall" defensive ramparts to prevent Allied invasion of Europe. Your question asks who was commander of British forces in Africa (Montgomery).

      I didn't even notice that. I saw Desert Fox and went straight to Rommel.

    You ask about German concentration camp and then list one German (Belsen) and 2 in Poland and then give the answer as one of the camps in Poland?

    #60 - Bockscar dropped Fat Man over Nagasaki, the Enola Gay dropped Little Boy over Hiroshima
    #62 - The Battle of Stalingrad began in 1942 and ended in 1943 therefore, it took place in both 1942 and 43.
    #85 - The Maginot Line was a French defensive line that the Germans went around to overcome it. The Atlantic Wall was the German defensive line constructed to deter an allied invasion.
    #93 - Both Roosevelt and Truman were president during WWII. Roosevelt at the beginning, Truman at the end.
    #97 - On 1 October 1939 Donitz became commander of the U-boat fleet. Kretschmer was a very successful U-boat commander.

    Question 93 is incomplete. Roosevelt was president for most of the war, but died during the war, and Truman became president, famously authorizing the dropping of the 2 atomic bombs on Japan, resulting in Japan finally surrendering, ending WWII in 1945. So, both Roosevelt and Truman served as US President during WWII. :)

    Question 60 is also wrong. Bockscar was the plane that dropped the atomic weapon on Nagasaki. Enola Gay (flown by Tibbets and named for his mother) dropped the 1st atomic bomb over Hiroshima.

    #44 Chamberlain was PM when Britain entered the War in 1939. He resigned in early 1940 and Churchill took over.

    #74 Stalin was also the soviet leader during the middle and final years of WW2.

    Question 97 is incorrect. Fleet Commander for German U-Boats was Donitz. Hardegen was commander of a single U-Boat at a time (he commanded several different boats during the war, but only one at a time). Donitz commanded all U-Boats for Germany.

    #22 I seem to remember learning that Erwin Rommel was a German General.

    #15 I guess that means that during WW2, Britain was occupied by the British and the US was occupied by Americans.

    #63 Tojo was PM from Oct. 1941 (before Pearl Harbor) until July 1944 which was "Much of the War".

    #76 Sounded like you were taken by surprise at the Red Baron / WW1 question.
