Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-9-2018: World War 2, Again.

1st September, 2018.

It’s got to be said … 

“Hello!”

Which is possibly the most pointless thing to say!

At any rate, it’s Saturday.

And, of course, I’m up early: to make sure I can get to work on time.

Oy … Vey!

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: scoring five out of five in the process.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video … 

Q1) 1st September, 1939, saw the start of World War Two: when Germany invaded Poland.   The war ended in which year?

Q2) A contributing factor in the War was Germany’s domination by whom: Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco or Adolf Hitler?

Q3) During the war, Germany and its allies were generally known as which ‘A’?

Q4) Its opponents included the UK, US, USSR and China: collectively called what?

Q5) The War finished when which Asian nation surrendered?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1) 31st August saw the birth of the late Roy Castle.   In which year?

A1) 1932.

Q2) He died in 1994.   Of what cancer: testicular, lung or prostrate?

A2) Lung cancer.   (He was a life long non-smoker, and went on the record, several times, to blame his condition on passive smoking: after a lifetime performing in smokey clubs.   Speaking personally?   For I, like many others?   I suspect it was the first time we’d heard of passive smoking.)

Q3) Roy presented which BBC 1 children’s show for some twenty-one years?

A3) Record Breakers.

Q4) Roy played Captain Keene in which of the Carry On films?

A4) Carry On Up the Khyber.

Q5) Finally … Roy plays Ian Chesterton in which film?

A5) Dr Who and the Daleks.

Here’s a thought …

“Don’t you hear it? It is the tramp of armies crunching the gravel of the paradegrounds, splashing through rain-soaked fields, the tramp of two million German soldiers and more than a million Italians—‘going on manoeuvres’—yes, only on manoeuvres!”

Winston Churchill, in a speech on 8th August, 1939.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Fair, enough, Debbi.   Still, it’s JUST as frustrating!   It’s expected next July!   Oy!!!!!!!
