Are you sure that Manstein should get credit for the Bltzkrieg and not Guderian?

Level 68

Sep 27, 2013

Well, I'm going off of the fact that Manstein was the one to formulate the revised invasion of France, with the tank drive through the Ardennes. Guderian was the founder of Blitzkrieg, but I'm not asking for who the founder was.

Audie Murphy is spelled wrong (no "e" in Murphy), and so is Nikita Khrushchev's last name (extra "h" in between the K and the r). Good quiz aside from that though.

Douglas MacArthur was a general in the army, not an admiral in the navy.
