Yeah, showing William Hitler in uniform really made question 13 difficult.

[steves]

You referred to Russia several times but it was actually The Soviet Union.

[ryanzbt]

This is a fantastic quiz, studied the war as a child and at uni and still got 29. Would recommend.

[ugadawgs]

29/35. I have studied WWII a good bit, but a few of the questions got me - like Operation Fork.

[papapabs]

I got 12 1/2 wrong. What navy did William Hitler serve with a picture beside him 😂

[johncartwright]

Three I didn't know; the US punished desertion figure, invasion of Iceland code name, number of Axis troops to Norwegian citizens.
But then I'm a retired old codger who reads about these things!

[fritzrauer]

33 of 35 - didn't know the Norwegian one or the Hiroshima flower. Great to learn something new!

[Kristinapedia]

Just as if I were in High School.... I failed miserably. I love documentaries about WWII so I'll continue to watch and learn. It's just so much easier to retain the info when you're younger. I wish I had parents who paid more attention to my education! :0(

16/30, but I never studied details of the war. I grew up in the 1960's watching tv shows and movies about famous raids and combat missions. My dad had his leather flight jacket for forty years after the war.

[layeeeeeTV]

22/35, very surprised at all the little details added on this quiz to make it challenging. I would’ve never known about the flowers in Japan question until this quiz. Good stuff

[DishierOrca]

After getting all the questions right, I now classify as a nerd

[oldguyramblings]

I missed the flower and Norway. Very good quiz. I studied a lot about WWII, because I wanted to understand what my family went through. My Dad and his brother were in the Navy in the Pacific.
Mom's brother was a navigator in the 8th Army Air Corp. Mom's 1st cousin was a Pharmacist Mate on the hospital ship Solace at Pearl Harbor.
After serving in France during WWI, my Grandfather built Liberty Ships in Long Beach. Grandma worked at Douglas Aircraft, building C47s and B17s.
After all that, there was a need to know.

[stephenbennett]

That was a damn hard quiz. I thought I knew a lot about WW2, but this was super detailed. I enjoyed learning these things though!

[ericredbear]

Thanks to the photo, #13 was like asking "when was the war of 1812?"

[starkorraplay]

Why Stalin is the leader of russia? He was the leader of Soviet Union!

[andrewclayton]

25. Thought I'd do better, but there were a few obscure ones in there.

[romanbrough]

I got 26. I should have gotten a couple more. Some were incredibly random.

[jsardi]

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

[lesliewells]

Great quiz!! this is the first trivia quiz on Youtube that I have found that is not multiple choice, which as so much easier. I like this kind better--I got 16 wrong and I am somewhat (only somewhat, obviously) of a WW2 buff. I just subscribed to your channel!

Question #7 is kind of a cheat. The video says “WW2 Quiz” but Japan was at war with China from the late 19th century until the late 1930s. And WW2 started in 1939 which was after the war between Japan and China ended. I know this because one of my all time favorite directors, Ishiro Honda, was involved in both wars. At first he was at war with China from 1935 until about 1938 or around there. And then he got another draft letter and was sent into WW2 for the entire war from 1939 to 1945.

My point is that the war between Japan and China was not part of WW2. It was a completely different war and it ended before WW2 even started.
