She was his wife for about an hour, and was his mistress for years before that.

It doesn't matter when they got married, only that they were man and wife when they died. Custom dictates that she now be referred to as his wife.

Eva Braun became Eva Hitler in the final hours. She became Hitler's wife, so I wouldn't consider her his girlfriend.

Great quiz.

Can you accept Paton for Patton? I know it's not how he spelt it, but the pronunciation is close enough and there isn't always time to check spelling. It is a WW2 knowledge quiz rather than a spelling test.

@Algernon then you should know it's spelt 'Patton', and not 'Paton'

How did only 44% get Rosie the Riveter? I mean, I guess that one isn't so obvious if you don't live in the U.S.

The Rosie the Riveter (We can do it!) poster is often used as a feminist icon all around the globe. That's how I know her.

The only one I didn't get. Lots of people didn't get that answer because it's probably something that was not seen much outside the US during the war, and although the image has become fairly well known outside the US since, the name has not.

Oh yeah, toil. "Blood, __, tears, and sweat" made me think it must be another bodily fluid! Tried spit... snot...

Man... Normandie... Please have a little bit of respect for French Regions by writing it the proper way, or at deep least count it as a type-in

the blitzkrieg doesn't just refer to the battle of Britain it refers mainly to hitlers quick mobilization and attacks in the early days of his European conquest

It’s up for debate but a lot of historians also generally regard Kursk as a major turning point in the eastern front
