I got the Jap Destroyer question right, but it was a guess. Missed on Martin Borman/Albert Speer.

For me it was the Japanese ship and penicillin. For whatever reason I thought it had been in use much earlier than WWII, so I guessed wrong.
Did first two questions which were easy enuf, but got sick of the thousand word lead ins to the question, so for me it's 2 for 2.
28/30
Jap destroyers and M&Ms. Obviously a failure of the Public school system. I'll try harder next time.

29... Fubuki??!? Who t'hell knows that? M&Ms, penicillin, Speer, those were obvious gimmes, but 1930s Japanese destroyers?? Nihongo deki masen!
29/30 missed the first name Willy and went with Eric for some reason.
The Japs?
And military science fiction writers who model their space battle fleets on historical wet navy fleets...
30...
But I want to know what slimy little twinkletoes cock-gobbling communist wrote the atomic bomb question to include the term "Noncombatants" to describe who we nuked the ever loving crap out of in 1945. Guess what... there were no non-combatants. Okinawa proved that. We nuked targets.
Oh and Alan Turing got all the credit because he was gay. He was a cog in the machine.
Just 'sayin.
Sirhr
P.S. Only got the jap destroyer one right because I am helping a colleague edit a military history textbook and literally ran across the ship class Monday while fact checking a segment on Midway. Total fluke.

Advantage of being a first generation American from Germany... I mean, who doesn’t know that Messerschmidt‘s first name was willy? (“Villy” for you engrish speakers. Heh.
Eric sounded more German to me, but they translated some things (machine pistol).
Y'know, that one annoyed me a bit as well. Hiroshima was the HQ for the IJA's 5th Division (who weren't really present during the bombing) and the IJA Second Army, and it was an industrial center for the Japanese military as well. Nagsaki produced ships, arms, equipment, et cetera for the Japanese military (and some of those factories were owned/operated by Mitsubishi). Valid military targets.
i must admit, i guessed on the submarine...and the Japanese destroyer question was answered for me above, so not a genuine effort on my part
Good Job! You answered 30 of 30 right!

But love how some twat called the japs noncombatants.

27/30. I've had M&M's melt before I was ready to eat them. In the tropical heat of the Pacific Theater, I guarantee they would have melted.
That got a WTF from me too. They were non combatants only after we dropped a couple of nukes on their asses.

i knew the submarine as it was the first streamlined sub ever built. It was able to attack a convoy without being able to be dectected by ASDIC (sp?).
As I recall, the skipper surfaced and scuttled the boat after a fake attack run. Something like that...
thanks...i've got to read about it. just saw a post about China's underground sub depots. pretty wild stuff
