The Eastern Front - The Second World War #1

A little tired of doing quizzes about World War Two that give the impression that it was only a fisticuffs between a few good and bad men? Namely Churchill, Roosevelt and Eisenhower on one side and Hitler, Mussolini and Rommel on the other? Try this quiz then... just for starters.
A Russian army group was designated a 'front'. A front varied in size but usually consisted of three to five armies.
