That's like the hardest photo of Mussolini to recognize... Can't see the trademark forehead!

On the other hand, the fascist eagle on his hat should make it a pretty easy guess

The jaw isn't exactly subtle either.

Yeah, the guy with the tiny mustache is really tricky. I think that's Stalin.

All but Zhukov. Knew his first name, couldn't remember how his name went after the Zh.

Thanks for accepting "Monty" and "Ike"!

Kicking myself for missing Chiang Kai-Shek. Did a book report on him in school. Should've gotten him.

It's always so hard to I.D. MacArthur. It's a shame he never used some sort of unique, easily identifiable accessory.

Had a little trouble with the second-to-last one. The Reichsmarschall's crossed batons did the trick.

He's the only one whose face I didn't recognize right off the bat. I just kept typing in names of prominent Nazis until I got him.

He usually looks a lot heavier than he does in that photo. Took me a minute to click.

It was an official portrait and intended to flatter him. I don't know if you've heard, but the nazis weren't above manipulating the truth when they wanted to.

Shocking, I know.

I understand that naming conventions make it 'inaccurate' but consider accepting 'Kai shek'. After all, you do accept 'Ike'!

I did not recognize Mussolini at all. Thought it must be some soviet general, although the eagle did throw me off a bit. If I had looked a little closer, I might have noticed the fascio in its claws...

Is Montgomery just famous for being disliked? Everything I found says that he was a successful military leader who had a super annoying personality.

Should yellow box be used for this quiz? The focus is to name the figures by pictures, not to guess figures.

People often know Chiang for Taiwan and many don't recognise him by his younger picture, so it makes sense its this low in the ww2 quiz

I could have done with it accepting "Desert Fox", as the proper name did not come to me. There again, I would never have got Eisenhower if I didn't think that he might have been the first guy.
