Need obscure WW II trivia
Posted on 10/3/23 at 12:06 am

My 11 year old knows more about WW II than anyone I have met. It's to the point I can't stump him on anything. He knows all the players, all the stats like casualty counts, can even tell you what kind of rifle or tank or airplane was used by which militaries. If anyone has some obscure WW II trivia that might stump him please share. Don't bother googling "obscure WW II trivia" he already knows all those answers.
Thanks
Thanks

“Who bombed Pearl Harbor?”

If your kid has memorized casualty counts for battles at 11 years old I'd be sure to keep all your guns and knives locked up. That doesn't seem like a healthy obsession to me.

Also, I don't have the cite, but Steven Ambrose wrote about Koreans being captured in German uniforms on D Day. They had been impressed into Japanese service and captured by Russia in its 1939 border skirmish with Japan. Russia impressed them into its army, whereupon they were captured by Germany, impressed again, and ended up in Normandy.

Ask him:
“Why are there so many WW2 German Sympathizers in the OT Lounge?”
When you both figure that out, please let me know because that has stumped me for years.

For some reason the image of a whale landing on the moon instantly came to mind.

Start talking about WWI. You won't have to talk to him for the next six years.
In all seriousness, he probably doesn't understand how important weather has an impact. Bring him to Bastogne in December, and he'll be like WTF??

On 30 July 1942, a United States Coast Guard J4F-1 Widgeon amphibious aircraft spotted a U-boat around 100 mi (160 km) off the coast of Houma, Louisiana. The aircraft attacked and it appeared that the U-boat was hit in the attack. U-166 was reported missing in action on 30 July 1942, which coincided with the American aircraft's attack on "a U-Boat", leading to the aircraft being credited with the sinking of U-166, with the loss of all 52 crew members. Both aircraft crewmen were decorated for the action.

Baton Rouge refineries were making 90% of all aviation fuel during the war.

I’d be impressed if he could name every minute island in the Pacific the US invaded. Stuff not well know like Anguar, Vella Lavella, Majuro , etc.
