Take the quiz here:

http://ww1.canada.com/after-the-war/quiz-weapons-of-the-first-world-war

(Googling the answers before replying is cheating!)


I had a score of 60% without Googling first of course.
To be honest in one of the replies I ticked the undesired answer (due to replying in haste) and the answer that I wanted to tick was indeed to correct one while in another I ticked by random which ended up being the correct one.

80% missed Q4 and Q5.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

It made a good sniper rifle as long as it and its ammo was kept clean.

I also thought that the Germans first used chemical weapons.In fact they were the first to use a deadly gas against the Russians.The French however beat them to it,albeit using a non-deadly gas (tear gas). The question is maybe a little ambiguous.
