WARSHIP QUIZ

No. But it has something to do with U-boats.

 

First showing of "Das Boot" ?
(or date of the book)

 

i saw das boot in 84

 

Like me262 said, it was earlier. But again, getting closer. Quite close, I'd say.

 

Hey come on guys, dont give up! You were reaching the right answer quite rapidly. Keep on going!

 

The Vanguard class submarines were orderd in 1986

Well, that wasn't what I was looking for. Besides, it doesn't have much to do German U-boats and Das Boot.

This was apparently harder than I thought so I'll give the answer:
18th april 1986 Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock died. Lehmann-Willenbrock was 6th most successful German U-boat captain but he is most famous of being the captain of U-96 when war correspondent Lothar-Günther Buchheim (author of book Das Boot) accompanied U-96 on her seventh patrol.

 

Which british Admiral fought on german side during WW1 ?

 

Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert von Hohenzollern?

 

Yep I thought that wouldn´t be so well known at all ^^

Che.

 

I think its not so well known but luckily I'm currently reading Massie's Dreadnought and there I remembered this.

 

Since nobody asked, what is context between german subs (a special one) and all Rolls Royce cars from then and now ?

Che.

 

Rolls Royce

BMW or VW?

 

Re: Rolls Royce

Rolls

"Why"?

 

Eleanor Thornton, the model for the "winged victory" statue on each RR car, was torpedoed

OK, technically the ship she was on was torpedoed, but you get the general idea.

I suppose you want the U-number?

 

Thorntons Chocolate!

Fooled again! I thought he was talking about football subs!

 

I guess you know it as well. I found the story quite interessting if you consider that this car of our everyday-life represent a victim of the german submarine warfare. The SS Persia was located off Crete in 2003 at a depth of 10,000 feet (3,000 m) and is quite remarkable intact.

In a naval Qiuz ?!
