Here’s hoping I do better this week than last.

1. (a) The Atlantic Ocean, (b) The Suez Canal, (c) The Black Sea
2. I’ll take a stab at it and say Berchtesgaden accompanying Hitler in last their meeting a couple of weeks ago.
3. Starboard is the right side, bow is the front, port is the left, and stern is the rear of the ship.
4. (a) Cunningham leads the navy, (b) Longmore heads the air arm, (c) Wavell leads the army.
5. Only if you mean being hunted. The “Wolves of Tuscany” is an Italian Division that is currently getting their butts beat in Albania.
6. Eritrea is an Italian colony on the northern border of Ethiopia, Italian Somaliland is an Italian colony making up the tip of the horn of Africa sweeping south down the coast and Italian East Africa is the area of Italian colonies/conquests in East Africa (Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Italian Somaliland and I guess for the moment British Somaliland as well)
7. I’m not sure where Fezzan is. Since it probably is not under the French I’ll guess it is under the Italians.
8. (a) Joseph Goebbels, (b) Mussolini?
9. (a) Asbestos is a mineral and these poor A.R.P. guys are in trouble.
10. (a) Prince Konoye is the Prime Minister of Japan, (b) I’m not sure who Otto is, (c) I want to say Baron Franz von Werra is a Luftwaffe pilot.
11. Uruguay and Argentina
12. The first one has to be FDR, I have no clue who the second one could be.
13. (e) Lt. Commander, (a) Commander, (c) Captain, (b) Rear Admiral, (d) Vice Admiral. I knew that Naval JROTC I took in high school would pay off eventually.
14. No idea on this one.
15. Yikes two in a row. I don’t have a clue. I’ll guess no.
16. An executive session is on to consider proposals made by the President. (ie. Appointment to cabinet post, ect.)
17. The Civil war was 1861-1865, Spanish-American War was 1898 leading directly into the Philippine war 1899 to 1902.
18. El Greco…..I would have to say Greece.
19. I thought this one had me until I looked at all three last names together. Douglas, Martin, and Grumman. These three men have to be the head of their respective aircraft companies.
20. I’ll guess (c) Trelawny just because I’ve never heard of it.
