10 for 10. It was pretty easy.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

10 out of 10. Extremely easy test for the SimHQ crowd.


For the general population though I'm sure it would be somewhat challenging.

I had no idea who the first general was, the rest were easy.

As part of "everyone else" (being a foreigner and with a passing interest in anything related to the military), my score was a pathetic 4.

Honestly mistook the "General" title of the thread to mean "genetal knowledge quiz". Duh, getting really slow these days

9 out of 10, missed #1


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.

Hmm. I recognized I think 3 with certainty, another
3 tentatively, went on vague notions of general history,
chronology, and one wild guess, ended up 9/10. The wild
guess I got right. Missed #1.


Panzer, I know 6 and 10. No clue of the rest, except 2,
whom I've never seen, but matches written descriptions
so I would guess... checked the answer, and I'm correct.
