    OK, one for the 'badge people' :

    Described in heraldic terms as :

    'A mullet of eight points Azure surmounted by an Arrow Or enflamed proper point downwards in bend sinister'
    Motto : We Guide To Strike

    Who were they ? ;)

    OK, I'll have to owe Panzerknacker a beer instead... ;)

    During the later stages of the War, the German military authorities called for personnel who were considered dispensible from any unit to be nominated for service on the Eastern Front.

    What ( very ) slang term was given to this process ? [​IMG]

    Ok, name the 4 Parachute combat jumps made by the 82nd Airborne Division in World War.
    When I say name, I mean where did they jump, eg-Normandy.

    According to famous Marine and US Military Historians, where was the battle of Guadalcanal Won?

    (Give you a hint, it wasnt in the Pacific)

    Ill give you another hint, search this name:

    Smedley Butler
