@ YNCS.... ive had some vets tell me its both, they were split right down the middle on HOW the name is pronounced.

And, @ your sig, I used to live near Lubbock, I agree with that statement it is hotter than hell

Considering there's a box car and a railroad track in the picture, I believe the pronounciation would be "bock's car."
 
and the pilots last name. Bock..really should have put a ' there to make it easier on us.
 
How inconsiderate of Bock. Let's get a necromancer, visit his grave, raise his spirit, and whine at him!

IIRC, was it when the Army Air Force set up mines to disrupt the Japanese shipping?

Close enough :goodjob: . Your turn.


Starvation was the code-name for an American operation to plant minefields
around the Japanese home islands in the final months of the war. Over
10,000 mines were planted by American submarines and aircraft before the
Japanese surrender in August 1945. :eek:
 
Ok, here you go: (BTW, I am asking this because I find the answer rather strange and peculiar)

When Germany attacked Poland, what was the name of the Polish general defending Warsaw? Just last name is acceptable

If in 24 hours no one gets in, I will post a hint...
 
I know that inSeptember 1939 the Polish Commander in Chief was Edward Smigly-Rydz, but I have no idea who the commander of Warsaw was.
 
rommel?....guess
 
omg that was so a guess
What happened on April 20, 1941, and why is this day special.

If I hadn't just asked a question, I would so have that. I have a book about WW2 that has every single day's happenings in it... :(
 
April 20, 1941 was Hitler's birthday and the Luftwaffe celebrated the event by dropping 1,000 tons of bombs on London. Also, Greece surrendered to the Germans.
