Hmm. Wasn't that difficult a question.
'NOTHER QUESTION: What was Operation Währung? |
Operation Währung was one of the support operations for the 1944 Ardennes Offensive. Similar to Operation Grief, a small number of German agents infiltrated Allied lines in American uniforms. These agents were then to use an existing Nazi intelligence network to attempt to bribe rail and port workers to disrupt Allied supply operations. The operation proved to be a failure.
|
Most notably seen in the movie, The Battle of the Bulge, where English speaking Wehrmacht soldiers were recruited to infiltrate the American lines. Every one of them was caught and executed by firing squad.
Well done, sir. Here's your cookie. 'NOTHER QUESTION: Easy one: What was the greatest mass act of treason ever? (Hint: It happened today, but many years ago.) |
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it has something to do with some of British King George III's subjects signing a document called the Declaration of Independence and thereby committing an act of unpardonable treason against his Majesty the King? :D
|
Kinda difficult to deny your involvement in this act of treason, especially when your name is one of 56 on the document.
Here's your cookie. 'NOTHER QUESTION: Under the laws existing at that time, what would their punishment have been had the Revolution gone bad? |
I believe it was hanging.
|
Actually, that was only PART of the punishment.
The traitor would be hanged until almost dead; there was no sudden drop to break the neck. Then, the traitor would be revived only to be hanged again. This may or may not have gone on for a while. Then, the traitor would have been emasculated and slowly disemboweled and his entrails burned while he watched. Finally, he would be beheaded and quartered and his head sent to the Tower and the remaining parts sent to the four corners of the kingdom. Females were burned at the stake. Sorry, no cookie on this one. 'NOTHER QUESTION: What outfit does Colonel Jethro E. Culpepper head? |
Colonel Jethro E. Culpepper is the fictitious head of the Commemorative Air Force (formerly know as the Confederate Air Force) an Texas non-profit organization that recovers, repairs and flies old WW2 warbirds.

From two men sharing the $3000 purchase price of a war-weary P-51 and two subsequent F8F Bearcats at $850 apiece, the humble beginnings of the CAF gave way to a great organization. I've been to Rebel Field and seen some of the aircraft. I just wish Political Correctness hadn't reared its ugly head. (And they no longer limit themselves to purely WWII aircraft, as they now count an H-19 and a MiG-17 Fresco in their hangars.)
Well done, sir. Here's your cookie. 'NOTHER QUESTION: Where would one find Rodina Maht? Pictures, please. |
Movin' on...
'NOTHER QUESTION: Who said this about what group: "They dress like Tarzan, have hair like Jane and smell like Cheetah"? |
Ronald Reagan mocked the insurgent hippies of Berkeley: "They dress like Tarzan, have hair like Jane, and smell like Cheeta."
|
And it was probably an apt depiction of the Hippies.
Well done, sir. Here's yer cookie. 'NOTHER QUESTION: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...an_Gatling.jpg Who is this fellow and what is he well know for? (no peeky at the linky) |

Well done, sir. Here's your cookie. 'NOTHER QUESTION: This movie studio was reknowned for producing B-Movies, some of them real flops. But they produced a series of comedic shorts that was in very high demand. To that end, the studio utilized the fame of their comedic team's shorts to bolster the sales of their B-Movies, requiring that in order to get the shorts, they had to buy the feature film. Name the studio and the comedic team. Pics, if you can. |
