Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You're sitting with your squad in a plane flying over France. You're only commanding a squad of nine because ten people is the maximum number of people they could fit into the back of the plane. You can hear explosions and know other planes have been hit and gone down. Suddenly, there is a horrible rumbling and you realize the plane has been hit, but you must wait for the green light. The light is still red, but you really want to get out of there. Do you and your squad jump before the light changes?
2. The light turns green. You're getting out as quickly as you can. Unfortunately, in your haste, you didn't secure your rifle properly and it fell to the ground. You land and find your rifle in six pieces. You're going to have to use your pistol until you find a new rifle. What is the name of the standard pistol used in the U.S. Army during World War II?
3. You ready your pistol for any surprise encounters. You walk up to a barn and peek around the corner. Your squad is nowhere to be found, but you see two Germans standing on guard with their backs to you and you can't see anything around them. What would be the smartest thing to do in this situation?
4. After making your decision as to whatat to do, you continue through the forest. As your walking, you think you hear movement around you. You take a few more cautious steps forward, but you freeze when you hear a voice call to you "Flash!" What do you reply?
5. You've answered the mystery statement correctly. A squad of three American soldiers emerge from the trees, one of which you recognize. He is from your original squad in the plane. The other two are also stragglers who grouped together after being lost themselves. And wouldn't you know it, they brought you a real gun. However, it's not what you're used to. It's a German submachine gun. What was it called again?
6. You lead your squad of three back to the barn and the two German soldiers you previously encountered. However, there are five of them now. What is the best course of action to handle this threat, without running away from it?
7. You continue after dealing with the Germans in your own fashion. Suddenly, you hear a loud cannon fire. It takes a second, but you recognize the shell unmistakenly as an 88mm shell launched from a German Tiger I tank. You know the risk involved in fighting this tank, but realize it wouldn't just be shooting for no reason. As an American soldier, what do you do?
8. You've made your decision. However, no matter what your decision, you find no safe route around the tank, but you do discover it is alone. You must destroy it. You have an arsenal of four submachine guns, three grenades, a single RPG round, and a few pistols. What weapon do you use?
9. The tank is now taken care of and its previous victims have emerged with two dead and one wounded, but still in fighting condition, out of the five that were there. Together, you make a squad of seven. You would take the Tiger, but no one has the expertise to operate it. The best course of action is to leave it and move on.
10. You've now moved on from the tank. It feels as though you're as deep in the forest as possible, but you keep moving. Amazingly, you see a clearing not too far ahead. You go out and see, in a secluded clearing, a large group of American soldiers there trying to figure out what to do. You take command of the situation and bark out the order. "We move out, now!" This is the best course of action to get these many soldiers to safety.
