Who is that Person? (also open for everyone)

ok,… the face is reminding me of mitsuo fuchida,. however,. strory,. chuichi nagumo,.
so he must be not one of them,. :slight_smile:

lemme do some googling,. however Mr Rising Sun, provided he is around and checked on this quiz,. should able to solve this person in a matter of minutes,.

Cheers

Genda?

I think he is not Minoru San

perhaps,. mineichi koga

Alas - no, my dear gentlemen. Here is a hint for you: our mysterious guest was directly connected with light units of the Imperial Japanese Navy. :slight_smile:

Raizo Tanaka
was a bonafide genius, probably one of the finest squadron commanders of the entire war to serve on either side. He routinely defeated superior Allied forces in the Solomons

Indeed, my dear Mr. Gumalangi – our special guest star was Rear-Admiral Raizo Tanaka, one of the greatest naval tacticians in the WW 2. Your turn again! :slight_smile:

Thank you sir,

Can you please tell me on who is the next personality,… also,. respected by both side,. almost,…

who.jpg

An officer in the active service during the WW2 wearing a double breasted frock-coat with capped collar? Are you absolutely sure, my dear Mr. Gumalangi? :-?

He was active on both war,. and few other wars,. he was a military leader and political leader as well,…

another clue; in WW2 he led a country to fight against the country he fought for in WW1

I see. Well, let me guess… perhaps our mysterious personality is Baron Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim as a Lieutenant in Russian army, wearing, naturally, the old - imperial uniform? :slight_smile:

well done Herr Librarian!,.

Have it your go

Vielen Dank, my dear Mr. Gumalangi!

Well, here we have an officer who personified military decisiveness and initiative, who always believed in leading from the front, who never asked his men to do something he would not do himself. A truly incomparable battle-leader, a hero and a military organizer who always kept his promise with a good sense of humor!

could it be Archibald Wavell

Cheers

Simon Fraser, Brigadier The Lord Lovat.

Indeed, my dear Mr. Sceadugenga: our special guest star was The Right Honorable Simon Christopher Joseph Fraser, 17th Lord Lovat - an noble and charmingly eccentric British officer educated at Ampleforth College and Oxford University who formed the Special Service Brigade and effectively fulfilled all his combat duties by hauling his rolled up umbrella right onto the Sword Beach, being accompanied with his piper who played the traditional Lovats’ march to war, “Spaidsearachd Mhic Shimidh”.

An Officer and a Gentlemen immortalized by the words he reportedly used when he approached positions of the Sixth Airborne Divison around Caen Canal - “Sorry Gentlemen we were two and a half minutes late.” :smiley:

Please, proceed – it is your turn now! :wink:

Ping! I knew I recognised the face from somewhere, but just couldn’t place it. For some reason I was thinking Belgium/Holland…

Amazingly I “recognized” him because Peter Lawford actually looked a bit like him while playing Lovat in “The Longest Day”.
I’m not sure my skills are up to you guys standard but I’ll have a go. (I don’t suppose a picture of my Mother in her WAF uniform in 1941 would do? :slight_smile: )

This guy was unpopular with both the conquered people he ruled and his own government.

Looks a bit like Edward VIII!
