Answer: Dalmatian

Dalmatians are not the best of dogs to have around small children due to their high energy levels. Every time Disney releases "101 Dalmatians", sales of dalmatians go through the roof, and then a short time later, shelters are filled with dalmatians that weren't quite what was expected. Dobermans are very intense, energetic and highly intelligent.

They also require a lot of human contact and love to be with their family. They aren't good outside dogs because of this. Dingos are the wild dogs of Australia.

They can be domesticated, but they have to be taken out of the litter before they are 6 weeks old for this to happen. After 10 weeks, it's impossible to train them to be pets. They can climb trees and play possum when in danger. They are also thought to be the ancestor of all dog breeds. Dachshunds were bred to hunt animals that burrow into the ground.

Their short legs are perfect for digging prey out and going down into the burrows. You can get more information about this question from Dogbreedinfo.com.

Answer: Dunkirk

The troops were considered sitting ducks, and the beach was on a shallow slope to where no large ships could get in. 800 small ships, many or most of them privately owned were employed to do the task and deliver the troops to the waiting larger ships.

The smallest ship was about 18 feet in length. No one knows for sure why Hitler didn't take advantage of this situation. Field Marshal Rundstedt who was in charge of the German troops in France said in his memoirs that Hitler's failure to order a full-scale attack on the troops was a fatal mistake.

The Allied raid on Dieppe in 1942 cost many allies lives. 73% of the troops were killed, wounded or missing and all the equipment on shore was lost. However, there were many lessons learned that would prove to be helpful on D-Day. Dresden was a city in Germany that was bombed by Allied troops towards the end of the war. Danzig was a battle won by the French in the Napoleonic Wars. You can get more information for this from http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/WW2.htm.
