I've been studying ww2 since before high school. That would be for 45 years. This was child's play

[troy]

Fairly easy, but still a good quiz for the non history buffs out there. Many answers can be deduced through process of elimination

[georgegrubbs]

17/20. Good questions, but fairly easy.

[paulmorris]

There is so many repeat questions on these WW2 quizzes on YouTube

[steveoh]

Pretty easy but still fun. Another WW2 quiz on this site repeats some of these exact questions.

[williambrodala]

[timbotus]

[Richard]

[techitakiotara]

[wardasz]

D-Day is NOT 6 June '44. D-Day is a first day of ANY operation. So, D-Day for operation Overlord will be June 6. D-Day or operation Barbarossa is 22 of June... and so on and so on.

Question 3: The right answer isn’t even there, the biggest battleship during WW2 was the musashi, sister ship of the Yamato.
