WWII started in 1937 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.

 

[holy king]

WWII started in 1937 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.

it was hardly a world wide conflict by then.

 

[nonconformist]

It involved the Japanese, the Chinese, the Menguko, Americans, Germans and such.

And Germany invading Poland would hardly qualify for a world war either, considering Poland had essentially been taken away from Germany in 1918, yet we don't know it as the German Civil War of 1939.

In all, more than 400 military women lost their lives during World War II. In 1944 U.S. Army Nurse Aleda E. Lutz of Freeland Michigan was the first U.S. military woman to die in a combat zone during World War II when her hospital plane went down on her 196th rescue mission.

Although admitedly that was the first military woman.

I think however that this is a rather ambiguous question since the definition of WW2 and combat zone is not defined clearly enough to give a reasonable chance of getting the desired answer.

Surely some american women would have been killed during the Pearl Harbor attacks?

Not that I heard. They only attacked the ships in the harbor and the airfields. Anything which hit the towns was fired from our anti aircraft guns.

I'd feel bad about asking a question now, if someone else wants a go then shoot, if not I'll try to come up with something later today.

Guess I'll have to ask a quick one then

Which general was famous for his motto "strength through fear"?

 

[cidknee]

Field Marshal Ferdinand Schorner, i believe

 

[privatehudson]

Yup.

One placard placed around the neck of a soldier hanged on his orders read:

Whoever fights can die. Whoever betrays his fatherland must die! We had to die!

Perhaps mindful of this and Schorner's continuing loyalty Hitler promoted him to Commander in Chief of the Wermacht in his last will and testament. Although sentenced to 25 years initiall he served just 6 as a Russian and then East German prisoner before he was returned by the latter to West Germany. The authorities there arrested and charged him in relation to the illegal execution of German soldiers (many had been extremely arbitary) and sentenced to four and a half years in jail.
