59 of 65. The enigma code really shocked me... gonna have to look that up.

As an army brat of a ww2 vet and a strong student of ww 1 and ww 2, I got all questions correct. That for me was a easy quiz

43/65, knew more than I thought. My Dad was born in 1918. Dad would tell people that he was born during WW1. My parents lived through WW2 in the Netherlands. They met during the liberation celebrations.

The question about deciding the shape of post-war Europe is unfair. The three leaders of UK, USA and USSR met in Yalta to discuss it, but the details were thrashed out (including France) in the Potsdamm Conference, which was also a possible answer.

BTW my favourite trivia fact about the Potsdam Conference is that the UK Prime Minister at the start of the Conference was Churchill. The UK General Election was in the middle of the conference, so Churchill returned to London on the evening of the election expecting to return to Germany the next day. He didn't return. Clement Attlee won the election and flew out to Potsdamm instead of Churchill.

61/65. I was completely unaware that it was Poland that had cracked the Enigma code long before the war had even started. I had always thought it had started with Turing.

I learned quite a few things from this quiz. I am not as knowledgeable about WW1 as I am about WW2, and that is were I gained information. Any questions that I missed came from the WW1 section of the quiz. Of the 65 questions, I missed 8. Great quiz, as always. Thank you, Ben. 👍

I see "WW1 and WW2 quiz" And I am IN ... lol
58 out of 65 ... Incorrect ones 7 - 16 -18 - 25 - 29 - 54 - 60
BRAVO 👏. One of my favourite tests, Loved it Sir ! But VERY disappointed at getting 7 wrong 😢, Frustrating thing is ?? BEFORE EVERY question ! I kept saying "EASY" in my head .. lol
YET 7 wrong ..
I remember HATING history in my youth .. Then I watched Blackadder 4 and completely fell in love with it .. Some TRULY AMAZING heroes from British history .
I hope you do more like this Sir .. 😁💖👍

60/65. 30/33 about WWI and 30/32 about WWII.

Although Stalingrad siege was far bloodier than Leningrad blockade. The victims during the Leningrad blockade were mostly from the starvation.

Great quiz Ben 62/65. I got 3 of the Western Front battles wrong. They all seem to merge together. I was pleasantly suprised as more modern history isn't my favourite period but including school, movies and novels set during those times I must have absorbed more than I thought.

[SandyMartin-rjxg]

Excellent quiz! 30/33 for WW1 and 31/32 for WW2, Potsdam tripped me up much to my annoyance!

[pvwarehouse]

Interesting quiz, I got the majority of WW2 right...not that I was there, lol. WW1 was fair at best, but as usual, good learnings.

[melstiller]

I loved this quiz, Ben, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that I actually knew more than I thought. I also learned quite a few things. Thanks for sharing these well-researched questions! 🙏😍

[martinscott-reed]

Hi Ben. 62/65 today. A very good quiz. As mentioned to you on a previous quiz, I love history. So I'm a little annoyed at getting three wrong. But, hey ho, nobody's perfect. Not even me. 😁

[tantefee]

Hello Ben, thanks a lot for all your great quizzes
Best wishes from Northern Germany, Fee

[brianCuda]

Thank you Ben, I did better on the second part than I did on the first. My parents were born during the second part of the quiz and I do remember a bunch of that history from word of mouth.

[kennithprice]

53/65 brilliant quiz thanks again Ben, really enjoyed it.👍👍😁

[delby]

This was a great quiz Ben. I'm a bit of a war buff, but I did get 7 wrong...4 for WW1 and 3 for WW2.

[annikanilsson]

Brilliant quiz again, Ben - I scored 62/65 and learned some new stuff 🙂Warmest thanks!

[allyourmoney]

57/65. Very enjoyable format. I need to read up on WWI.

[yossiarias]

I knew all of WW2 questions and around 60% of WW1. WW2 is one of the most interesting (and horrible) times in human history.
It was a nice mix of easy and relatively hard questions.
