Might also be United States..they didn't sign the Treaty of Versailles....also I recall the Denmark and some South American country were 'at war' until late 80's...but I don't remember what was the original cause for this 'war'. The 'war' was totally forgotten until some historian in Denmark stumbled upon some old documents

Voriax

Correct! England and the US were, and still are to this day, at "war" because the treaty ending the war of 1812 was never signed and ratified properly.

At least that's the information I have on the subject...which could be wrong I admit.

Here's one:

Which German AFV was named after a mammal that is *not* a big cat?

Extra Credit: Which German vehicle was named after a biblical character, and what was the vehicle's function?

Final: Which experimental British AFV was named after the nickname of a famous warrior (who was not Cromwell), and what was this individual's real name--and when did he live?

Ok the German AFV mammal name not a big cat is the Brummbaer (Grizzly Bear). The other answers I'd have to look up...

The Goliath mini-tank? Designed to carry an explosive charge under an enemy tank or into a fortification. Remote controlled.

Which failed attempt to create an effective 'destroyer' type aircraft led to the suicide of WW I ace Ernst Udet?

Eric Maietta

Weeell...he did hurry the production of the Bf 110, but whether it was a failure is subject to debate
It could also be said that he was chosen to be the scapegoat due to luftwaffe's performance in the Battle of Britain.

A+ to Willy and Voriax, for Brumbaer and Goliate, respectively!

Now for a hint on part III, which British AFV was named after a famous warrior, here's a hint: he was prominent during the interminable war with France, and the first part of his nickname is a color (or lack thereof).

Ahhh..the Black Prince. Edward, 1330 - 1376.
Btw, I was originally thinking about the Wolseley wheel/track tank.

Voriax

Yep, it was the Black Prince. Congratulations!

The British government skotched a plan by Military Intelligence to assassinate Hitler. Why?


During Operation Market Garden, the Allies refused the services of this section of Dutch Resistance. What was its name, and how well was it armed?

Hello

They feared that Hitler would be seen as a martyr. They planned to use anthrax in this assasination, btw.

Without the hint, I would have said Achilles.

What's so funny? Achilles was a famous warrior and a British AFV

True, true. Good point. However I did state in the original question that this was an "experimental" AFV. :p

Voriax

Correct! The answer often given, "Because, it's not sporting." was answered with "Hitler is a uniformed member of the German Army. He is a legitimate target."

What about the second question?
