Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals talk about logistics.

New question.
What forum member shares a name with a very important part of the invasion of France? (If you get this one in a single day I'll be very impressed.)

Question, is it the German invasion or the allied?

Good question. I'm tempted to hit the submit button and leave it at that, but that would be mean. :twisted:


It was very important to the defeat of the Germans in France. And by extension, I think you could say it was important to the final defeat of Germany.

Let me know when you want another hint.

And no, it's not Googlebot.

You describe it as "it" - so it's an object rather than a code name for an operation, right?

Ace? Allied air superiority came from having more experienced pilots?

How about Pluto (Pluto2) from Operation Pluto, that constructed the pipelines under the channel that supplied the fuel for the invasion?

OK, I just remembered a good one.

First, Napoleon would often send Josephine letters in anticipation of coming home for l'amour after a long campaign. What was an unusual request (by most men's standards I know) that he made on occasion to her? Hint: it was something he asked her NOT to do.


Secondly - this is a big bonus question. What were the pet names Napoleon had for Josephine's pussy and/or what was her pet name for his Johnson? (and no, it was not Monsieur Johnson).

I'll tell you I don't know the answer to this one. I just remember that over 20 years ago my mom (a big Napoleon fanatic) was reading a book containing their letters and she told me. But I forgot and I have no clue where to find this info. I do know a brief Google didn't help me.

First one is easy, he used to tell her not to bathe.

Second one, trickier.

I don't want to delay your turn but if anybody knows the private part pet names please chime in later.

Don't know where I heard that before, but it kinda stuck, I'm gonna try to find the pet names, I need a little time to think up something on par with what's been posted so far. If anyone else wants to jump in, fire away.

Two questions:

1) Who is the deadliest sniper in military history?

2) Which famous actor volunteered in the pre-WWII fighting between Finland and the Soviet Union?
