    That would be Russian ace Lilya Litvyak. She had 12 kills before she was shot down and killed on 01/08/1943.

    What was the only German ship larger than a light cruiser that was fit for duty by the time of the general surrender in 1945?

    Correct, Hamburg. My sources say it is the Prinz Eugen.

    Another naval question. There was an idea for exchanging a newly built British battleship HMS Duke of York for a number of American heavy cruisers. The question is for how many cruisers and why was the idea rejected?

    Hint: the number of cruisers is equal to the caliber of their main guns.

    Dont know the answer to that one, but can we reconsider the deal based on what we have today?
    In fact a few cruisers for the present Duke of York seems a great idea.

    The idea was to exchange HMS Duke of York for eight American 8-inch gun cruisers. Main reason for rejecting the idea was the serious manpower shortage in RN.

    New question: What did Oberleutnant Armin Faber do for the British?

    In the early part of the movie, "Enemy at the Gates", there is a wrecked German twin engine plane in the street. Name the aircraft.

    Heinkel He-111 bomber, though it's much smaller than the real ones; similar to the destroyed T-34 at the railway station, with a 1944 turret in 1942… :rolleyes:

    I guess you guys need a few hints:
    It was not a fighter, bomber or recon aircraft.
    It had two Argus 360hp engines.
    It was produced after the war by France by SNCAC
    It was tried as a Nachtschlachtstaffle on the Eastern Front by at least one unit with racks for small bombs and rocket launchers beneath the fuselage and wings in 1944.
    It was also produced by Aero of Czechoslovakia after the war.

    Siebel Si 204 ;) .....ok, without the hint, it would have been a difficult one.

    but it seems that only the 204 A had the 360hp engines, the 204 D,which is the one similar to the He 111, had 2x600ps Argus AS 411 engines.
