You referred to Russia several times but it was actually The Soviet Union.

Yeah, showing William Hitler in uniform really made question 13 difficult.

This is a fantastic quiz, studied the war as a child and at uni and still got 29. Would recommend.

29/35. I have studied WWII a good bit, but a few of the questions got me - like Operation Fork.

I got 12 1/2 wrong. What navy did William Hitler serve with a picture beside him 😂

33 of 35 - didn't know the Norwegian one or the Hiroshima flower. Great to learn something new!

Three I didn't know; the US punished desertion figure, invasion of Iceland code name, number of Axis troops to Norwegian citizens. But then I'm a retired old codger who reads about these things!

Just as if I were in High School.... I failed miserably. I love documentaries about WWII so I'll continue to watch and learn. It's just so much easier to retain the info when you're younger. I wish I had parents who paid more attention to my education! :0(

I missed the flower and Norway. Very good quiz. I studied a lot about WWII, because I wanted to understand what my family went through. My Dad and his brother were in the Navy in the Pacific. Mom's brother was a navigator in the 8th Army Air Corp. Mom's 1st cousin was a Pharmacist Mate on the hospital ship Solace at Pearl Harbor. After serving in France during WWI, my Grandfather built Liberty Ships in Long Beach. Grandma worked at Douglas Aircraft, building C47s and B17s. After all that, there was a need to know.

22/35, very surprised at all the little details added on this quiz to make it challenging. I would’ve never known about the flowers in Japan question until this quiz. Good stuff

That was a damn hard quiz. I thought I knew a lot about WW2, but this was super detailed. I enjoyed learning these things though!

After getting all the questions right, I now classify as a nerd

16/30, but I never studied details of the war. I grew up in the 1960's watching tv shows and movies about famous raids and combat missions. My dad had his leather flight jacket for forty years after the war.

Thanks to the photo, #13 was like asking "when was the war of 1812?"

25. Thought I'd do better, but there were a few obscure ones in there.

Great quiz!! this is the first trivia quiz on KZfaq that I have found that is not multiple choice, which as so much easier. I like this kind better--I got 16 wrong and I am somewhat (only somewhat, obviously) of a WW2 buff. I just subscribed to your channel!

I got 26. I should have gotten a couple more. Some were incredibly random.

This is a very good quiz, built up my confidence with the first several questions so l knew l would ace it. Didn't happen. Yes, l thought l knew everything.

Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 .

Got 31/35. Still impressive but a few I didn't know, great to learn something new!😊

Question #7 is kind of a cheat. The video says “WW2 Quiz” but Japan was at war with China from the late 19th century until the late 1930s. And WW2 started in 1939 which was after the war between Japan and China ended. I know this because one of my all time favorite directors, Ishiro Honda, was involved in both wars. At first he was at war with China from 1935 until about 1938 or around there. And then he got another draft letter and was sent into WW2 for the entire war from 1939 to 1945. My point is that the war between Japan and China was not part of WW2. It was a completely different war and it ended before WW2 even started.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Me finding this quiz on my recommended page: "Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!"

You had some really good questions. I thought I was smart in this. 23 out of 35. I did learn a lot.

Won’t count the one about William Hitler so I got 32/34. The questions were quite challenging actually, the one about operation Fork had me thinking for a while.

I got 29 correct. That flower thing totally got me. 😁

Good n informative quiz. I had 10 wrong. Learnt much from it n didn’t know a few notable facts eg. France had the biggest army n operation Fork. Thank you

Definitely very very on topic for world war 2

Why Stalin is the leader of russia? He was the leader of Soviet Union!

I missed only two, but like the other guy operation fork was NOT a invasion as more of a occupation

30/35 Excellent Quiz. Denmark was an interesting answer I didn't know.

32 / 35. Good quiz. Knew more than I thought. Operation Fork, the highest fatalities question (Soviet Union and China, I had Soviet Union and Germany, forgot about China!) and the Oleander got me though. Cheers

I only missed a few. Barely beat the timer a couple of times though, guess the brain could use an update, lol. Great quiz. I am not a stickler, especially when things are obvious but I've seen this topic discussed before, so regarding question #8, (2:45) is the correct answer The Soviet Union instead of Russia? Again, I understand the answer it's just that I've seen this brought up by some folks that take the topic of WWll so serious that they become argumentative. Thanks again, looking forward to more of your quizzes.

Num 8 is Soviet Union not Russia

Great quiz, thx

I can answer some of the overall questions. This quiz improve my knowledge about WW2.

Nine losses but my memory was not as bad as thought

If it wasn't on "Victory at Sea" I missed it. 24/35.

32/35, great quiz but there were a few I had no idea about, Operation Fork, Quisling and Oleander

Started strong but ended up missing 16 questions. Ouch. Great quiz. Nice post.

Question 13 was a tough one 4:26 😫

the 13th question you can see its us navy

24/35, i expected this to be one of those basic quizes with all basic knowledge if you took 10 mins to study the topic but it was actually well put together with the questions varying in difficulty

An excellent and challenging quiz, I got completely 23 right and got 2 questions half right when you had to provide 2 answers.

Wish they had given scores. At first I thought they were ridiculously simple but by the end I had gotten 16 wrong

26/35 not bad for a 17 year old.

Did well on the first 2/3 of the quiz.

The content creator's talent shines through in this quiz. Well done!

Got most some minor mistakes- Many commonwealth countries declared war same day as England Australia, New Zealand, Canada South Africa etc. USSR not Russia

It wasn't "Russia" during the war: it was the Soviet Union.

31 of 35 I read Herman Wouk's books on the war.

I love quizzes

33/35 I never heard the one for the Traitor before, though I did watch a lot of Victory at sea on my 9" Black & White TV. LMFIAO It's a shame that kids today don't know the sacrifices their Grandfathers made to give them their American freedoms they think so little of.

#8 USSR!

Ok so I have seriously studied WWII since I was 15 years old. I have read too many books on WWII from the tactics & planes used by all the air forces of the nations involved, to of course the tactics & equipment used on the ground as well as the various navies. I have read & reread all the books, watched & re watched THE WORLD AT WAR at least 100 times during my life. I have even met with & observed members of The DAK of German Afrika Korps during their meetings/get togethers. I have met with & talked to German soldiers who fought on the Eastern front. One story I'll never forget, I was told when I was I worked at Sears. An old man came into my department. I noticed that he was speaking with a German accent. I immediately began speaking German to him by asking him "Woher kommst du in Deutschland?" or "Where do you come from in Germany?" His eyes lit up as he looked at me & he replied, "Ich bin in Osnabruck geboren und dort in Osnabruck aufgewachsen!" or "I was born in Osnabruck & grew up in Osnabruck!" I noticed that he was old enough to have most likely been in Germany during WWII. When I asked him if he was in Germany during WWII, He immediately responded that not only was he in Germany during WWII, but that he had fought on the Eastern front at age 17. His job was to squat down in a tank ditch holding an anti tank mine. When a Russian tank drove over him, he armed the mine then attached the mine under the passing tank. The mine was magnetic & it blew up or disabled the tank shortly after. When I asked him what scared him the most about doing that, he replied that, many anti tank mine troops were seriously injured or killed when Russian tanks did not drive far enough before the mine went off. Also there were Russian infantry that sometimes were just behind those tanks that inevitably finished off the anti tank troops. Anyway, I have taken countless tests & quizzes on WWII & usually score in the high 90%. This quiz had some vary vague questions that in my opinion, were designed to throw off even the most knowledgeable historians. I scored 100% except What a Liberty steak was What modern aircraft was used during WWII What country lost 20% of its civilians The Nibu Hbakusha are people who survived what? (The dumbest question of all & the question that bored me to my limits, so I stopped watching after that) These questions in my opinion except maybe the modern aircraft & 20% of civilians lost in Poland, are not worth mentioning. . .

Better than I thought , 31/ 35 good quiz .🇬🇧

4:24 when the question gives you the answer.

The Soviet Army conquered Berlin, not the Russian Army. Just saying. BTW, I stopped viewing when I encountered this error.

A lot of these questions arent really important to “knowing WW2” such as knowing names of airplanes used. Thats battle but WW2 is mostly learned for things such as “What 2 countries declared war on Germany” those were the good questions but the “How many US soilders were executed for desertion” question is more of like a fun fact question.

Missed three out of 35. But then I grew up around a lot of WWII and Korean vets.

The leaders of Russia (Chair of the Executive Committee of the All-Russia Soviet Congress) during WW2 were, Aleksei Badayev, Ivan Vlasov and Nikolai Shvernik. If you are asking for the names of the leadership of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, then don't refer to it as "Russia."

The army of the USSR captured Berlin, NOT Russia! BAD FAIL! Russia does not equate USSR. Blitzkrieg is NOT a battle tactic. It wasn't even an actual doctrine. And the name was made up by a US newspaper. The common overall German doctrine was that of edges and gaps, you pinned down edges(active defenses) with the minimum possible troops needed and you advanced through gaps(undefended areas) as forcefully as you were capable of, to allow encirclement of troops and reaching enemy rear area highvalue targets on an operational level and to advance on important national locations at the strategical level. Kamikaze was not a name GIVEN, it was a name REPURPOSED. As it was the name given to the typhoons that saved Japan from the Mongol invasions in 1274 and again in 1281, the second of which is the largest invasion attempt in history aside from D-day. The fact that storms removed the same severe and imminent threat against Japan twice, it's really not strange that someone started calling it the Divine wind, or that it became reused when there was another threat from the sea. The swastika is the REVERSED ancient positive symbol.

24/35 . Had a couple I knew -Quisling and Rotterdam that wouldn't come to mind.

Overall nice quiz. I got 22 correct. Knew another 6, but didn't get them answer within the time limit and learned on the others. Thanks

You call this a quiz? Another person below correctly says it was the Soviet Union, not Russia, that invaded Berlin. And, although they suffered some major defeats in the first few months, the UK also fought in the Pacific theatre. There were three major nations at war there because a significant part of the British Empire was in the Pacific (eg Singapore). Some other poor benighted person below learned "alot" (sic) from this "quiz". God help us.

I mist 5, Good but far from perfect. The quizz was good too.

11 wrong, good quiz, thanks!

32 of 35 that flower, never knew that one.

Wow! I made a 31! But... I must admit WW2 is one of my favourite item in history!

This tells me I should ease up on all the WWII historical vids and series I feel compelled to watch since I turned 30. I'm 60 now and this quiz was way to easy.

I scored 29, so some challenging questions in there. As stated below, Russia didn't exist in WW2, it was the USSR and this does a great disservice to Ukrainians, Moldovans, the Baltic states and all of the other peoples who fought the Nazis and won the war in Europe. There are other pictures of William Hitler rather than the one shown of him with USN written on his cap. I guess thanks for the bone.

I learned alot.

Tough quiz. I only had 21 correct answers. I probably would have scored higher had it been multiple choice. LOL

27/35, including the William Hitler freebee (which I had no idea about). Started off easy but it definitely ramped up in difficulty, good job making this quiz

Thought I knew more 24/35.

3:25 uuhhh landing craft

Great quiz! Got 2/3 of them correct - 24 of 35.

16/35, I did not think I would get that many wrong but I did, but I still know a lot about the second world War, I probably know a lot more about the first world war

Love Q13, nice hint with his picture, lol 😢

21 right. For questions I got some were (obscure?/technical?) Like the quiz.

Thought I knew a fair bit about WW2. Got most of them right, but there were 4 or 5 I did not know. We are never too old to learn. enjoyed that, thank you.

got 28 right. learned a few new things. good quiz

33/35 the Oleander and Operation Fork got me

24 correct from 35. some obscure ones like the norwegian for traiter or the orleander flower after bombing of hirisohima or france the largest standing army at the start of ww2.

very good quiz i got three or four wrong so well done good quiz i fot a few wrong

Good quiz! However there was no Russia in the Second World War. And as far as number 30 goes, I think you'll find the British jet entered service before the German one.

“im actually a historian myself 🤓” every 12 year old ever

Didn't know about Noway and Operation Fork. We Indians are usually one step or two ahead. What do you say? Entertaining quiz. Thanks 😊

28/35 not bad very good quiz

29/35 a few threw me but good to know now!

Got 27 right learned a couple things good test thanks.

Good quiz learned a few things like the term for traitor

I got 31 out of 35. Im still learning about WW2. Great quiz can wait to start the others.

Simple test.

22/35 I know lot of WW2 but things like first flower that bloom in Hiroshima got me

I got 30/35, i have never heard of the flowers in japan, the fork operation, the quisling word, the rotterdam and the dannish saving jews

30. But thought I would get more also. Some really obscure.

Had no idea about the Hiroshima flower, got the rest.

35/35

Very easy.
