Ref the title of this quiz: there's no apostrophe in 'Nazis'. You never make a plural by sticking an apostrophe in.

For some reason I have always thought this list included Italy. The more you know.

I missed seas and oceans, air, beaches, landing grounds, fields, streets and hills. I only got France. :(:(

Really? France was one of the couple I missed out on. Beaches was the first one that sprung to mind but that might be because of its use in media more commonly.

My family lived in London during the war. I once asked my mother "Weren't you terrified when the Nazis reached the beaches at Dunkirk - just a few miles across the Channel?"

"No", she said "Churchill told us it would be all right and we knew it would be."

It's a matter of perspective, I suppose. Churchill was a monstrous man, which was what was needed during WW2. If you could ask the ANZACs he landed at Gallipoli in WW1, I don't reckon there'd be too many who thought he was a hero, but it was partly his ability to send men into fights they had little chance of winning, knowing thousands would be slaughtered, that won WW2. He also wasn't as popular with the public as people seem to think. He was voted out at the first election after WW2, and even when he was re-elected in 1950, it was with fewer votes than the Labour party. We humans have a need for heroes, and we have a tendency to whitewash our heroes' flaws in order to 'purify' them. There's a statue to Bomber Harris, for example, a man indisputably guilty of terrible war crimes, under Churchill's direction. Is it not more mature to recognise the importance of these figures, while also acknowledging their faults?

He was voted out because the people supported Attlee, a visionary who was almost as integral to the war effort as Churchill and one who likely cease further hostilities. Britain was graced by 2 of our greatest leaders when we needed them most.

Beg to disagree, Attlee was a communist and one of the worst PMs to have ever befallen our once great country. Responsible for mass theft of private property, the dissolution of our Empire and 'temporarily' introducing the NHS, another great scourge that happened to us. But to each their own ;)

Attlee was a patriot, statesman, reformer and a good man.

The empire was lost to the freedom of those who lived under it. Rightly so.

The nation needed to heal after a titanic struggle and Attlee's government took practical steps achieve this.

Could you not see how mad they might be, given the fact he was a racist and a eugenicist. Like any person he had a bad side (awful eugenics bs) and a good side (fighting Nazis).

I shouldn't feel proud, but nevertheless I was able to get all of these without looking, and I do.
