Or maybe the Parachute Regiment?
And you be the winner, by getting the answer so right that I had to revise the original question :oops:
A round of applause for Mr Tsolias!
For the record, I have no idea who the last pilot to leave Berlin was. I look forwards to expanding my diminutive knowledge of the subject.
Thanks mate.
I wouldn’t have make it without your help.
You mean you don’t google or wiki on quizes?
I have to admit that i do-at least some of the answers.
Would that be a cheat?
IMHO is better for someone to search+find+read+post, than to just wait for the answer to come from another member or just read the answers.
OK I’ll have a go at this would it have been that skilled test pilot but rabid Hitler groupy Hanna Reitsch. Saw a documentery about her a while back seem to remember something about her being the last pilot out.
That’s her, knew it was Hanna something
Correct!
Hanna Reitsch’s most dangerous assignment was to ferry Luftwaffe General Robert Ritter von Greim to meet with Hitler in the bunker of the Berlin Reich Chancellery in the last days of the war. The Luftwaffe officers clearly believed this mission to be impossible: Berlin was completely surrounded by the Soviets and not a single German plane had been able to get into the city for two days. Greim was wounded during the approach to Berlin, but Hanna brought the Fieseler Storch to a safe landing on a shell-pocked street near HitlerΉs underground bunker. After spending two days in the bunker, watching the disintegration of Germany’s leader, Hanna and Greim took off in an Arado Ar 96 monoplane, using a bombed-out street as a runway. Flying through a low cloud bank, Hanna was able to evade Soviet searchlights and fighters. Hanna was the only woman to be awarded the Iron Cross and Luftwaffe Diamond Clasp. She went on to set more than forty altitude and endurance records in motorless and powered aircraft in her lifetime.
OK I take it it’s my go now:
Which Nobel prize winner in 1918 caused a scandal and what was the reason for the scandal?
Fritz Haber, awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1918 for the Haber Process for synthesising ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen gases (N2 + 3N2 >> 2 NH3). Was involved in chemical weapon development in WW1, and his wife committed suicide with his service weapon at a dinner party in tribute to his having personally overseen the first successful use of chlorine in Ypres.
(btw I had a hunch it was Haber so wikipedia’d him)
Correct the French press described as a scandal the fact that “The father of the gas war” Fritz Haber was awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry for his work on the synthesis of ammonia. Still known as the Haber-Bosch synthesis.
His wife killed herself because she couldn´t live knowing about his work.

I believe that this is my question then:
The 9mm Parabellum cartridge is an accident of design; it should never have been. How and why did it come about? What was it based on? And for bonus sweeties, what are the implications for handloading this cartridge?
This is a long-answer question, and if more than one good answer is received, the most complete will win. And note that the Wikipedia article will not answer all of the question
I’ve been told to sit on my hands for this one 
It’s a 7.65 Parabellum cartridge without the neck.
When handloading 9mm Para, seating depth and consistent crimp are even more important than in other cartridges, due to the minimal or non-existant airspace over the powder.
OK, that’s 1/2 the answer, and the bonus bit - the crux of the question is WHY is it a 7.65 Para without the neck?
It also appears that I forgot that I’d written something in the Arrsepedia about this subject.
I hang my head in shame as a total mong, and will admit that I desperately need to go on holiday.
Now you are back! Tell us who should post the next quiz?
Tsolias didn’t answer the whole question - the reason that it came about was that Georg Luger didn’t want to completely re-tool for a completely different cartridge. By not necking the 7.65 Para case, all he needed to change was the barrel. This saved him a lot of money and effort, and left us with an awkward cartridge, which is still the most popular in the world.
Thus, I believe that it is my question again. Something that should not be googlable:
What’s this? Name, and what it actually is, i.e. how it is constructed (click on thumbnail image to see full-size):
Cuts should probably sit on his hands again. 
wow this is hard i going to guess that it is a ww2 gun, but i dont know if it was allie or german or what
It kind of looks like some model of an AK-47 but those weren’t designed until '47
I think that you should go to an optician to get your eyes tested
