I’ll take a shot at twenty questions again.

1. Berehaven is an island.
2. (d) The Pioneer Corps are military engineers I think.
3. These three men were in command of the Italian Albanian forces that invaded Greece. Prasca and Soddu didn’t last long since the Greeks opened up a can of whoopass on them.
4. Wow, this will be a total guess. There’s the Austrio-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian War, World War I of course, then there were their wars of unification which I think there were two in the 1850s? Finally there is the war going on now. So that would be 6.
5. (b) Picchiatelli are Italian Stukas.
6. (a) Malta - Great Britain, (b) Crete - Greece, (c) the Dodecanese - Italy, (d) Cyprus - also Great Britain
7. The Italians invaded Ethiopia in 1936, and I’m not sure what the alliance is unless they are meaning the alliance between Britain and Haile Selassie’s government in exile.
8. A busker is a street performer.
9. Bengazi, Tripoli and I think Derna are in Libya so the others must be in Albania.
10. Ankara, Turkey; Sofia, Bulgaria; Bucharest, Rumania; Budapest, Hungary; Belgrade, Yugoslavia; and Tirana, Albania.
11. (a) 1776 is the bill number for Lend-Lease and no I don’t think it is a coincidence. (b) 77th Congress is in session, (c) 17.5 billion is the amount of money requested for military spending (I think).
12. Total guess. (a) cotton. (coffee would be my second guess)
13. Willkie was supporting F.D.R. Hoover is against it and I can’t think of a third.
14. Wheeler and Clark are definitely against it, so Purvis and Gibson are probably for it.
15. I’ll guess 3,000.
16. He was inaugurated in January of 33 so that would be 8 years.
17. That would have to be mercury.
18. I hate these ones. (a) Clarence A. Hathaway - not sure at all, (b) Captain G.V. Richardson - no clue, (c) Rosier and Martin - I’ve got nothing here.
19. I’m not finishing well. Don’t know who these guys are.
20. viruses are smaller than bacteria. So I assume that filterable virus is one that passes through whatever filters they have at the time.
