??? I take a book of Halland (sorry for my big translate from russian): "operation with target to transfer our fleet to Norway was named “thunderbolt” … our target was to air cover ships from enemy… W. Chirchill was named our operation “the shame of Britain” … We are told about the same operation, isn’t it?

Are you asking for the German name for the op? It was Weserbrung or something like that (I’m crap with German spelling)

I won’t be able to post a question till after work (couple of hours) so if I’m right, you’ll all have to be patient

Oops. :oops: Find it. Halland missed it himself. "Thunderbolt " was name the operation of air cover of the ships, but full operation was named “Donnerkile”

Nope, all wrong so far. And Im after the English name.

What about the “Weser Exercise” ?

What about the “Weser Exercise” ?[/quote]

No, sorry

Operation Archery?

Yes, first big commando raid on Norway, convinced the Germans to move forces into Norway that remained there for the rest of the War. If I was a German soldier during ww2 I can think of no better place to be than sunny Norway.

Over to you for the next question.

crazy guy :smiley:

Correct!
2nd Lt. Hiroo Onada
Lubang Island
Probably the most ‘famous’ of the Japanese holdouts, Onoda was the only survivor of a group of four. 29 years after Japan’s formal surrender, and 15 years after being declared legally dead in Japan.

Story was proven to be a hoax.
