2 wrong. I got a 96%. Should have got a 100% but did not think about the questions enough. I have read a great deal about WWII.

I had help from my husband who watches dozens of episodes about WWII on Netflix... He (we) got 92%.

Thanks, that was fun!

"Your Score: 98%

Congratulations! You know pretty much all there is to know about World War II."

(not really - most questions were not very hard - maybe half a dozen or so were difficult choices)

Missed Battle of Leyte Gulf.

You just gave an answer though.

I could have got a 100% but did not think about the questions in two of them.

which two? - send me a PM

Think I should go back and remove the answer I gave?

Will do - you need to go back and edit your post that mentions which one I missed

My dad would be very upset that I thought the Abrams was a WWII tank. DUH! Also missed the Battle of the Phillipines Sea question. I loved the phrasing that the town in Norway "never hosted a concentration camp." Someone really should have thought about that a bit.

Got a 98. Missed a real easy one that I knew the answer. But that web site is so toxic that you should not go there. Had to go in and clean cookies and and ads after going there.

If anyone missed it, the 10 part series 'WWII in HD' on the History Channel was beyond awesome!

Those Americans were truly 'The Greatest Generation.'

Given that WWII was the last war that truly 'threatened this country and our way of life,' a lot of lessons should have been learned from it that our history of wars/conflicts since then...show that we didn't.
