The question was wrong - David was right. We will leave it with his question.

The most effective Anti-tank weapon of WWII was the German 88mm. But it wasn't designed as an anti-tank gun, what was it designed as?

[Big J R]

D.H. has nodded off again !

[David Holden]

Eh?

 

I've asked the question and waiting for an answer!

[Big J R]

Sorry David. Didn't scroll back far enough. War question. I'll get me books ot.

[Big J R]

Quick thought, David.

 

Originally ACK-ACK ? Anti Aircraft ?

[Harry J Allstars]

I don't know the answer off the top of my head and if I look around on the web then I'll only get told the question is wrong so I don't think I'll bother.

The question was right, it was your answer that was wrong <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

BJR Correct, Rommel used them as emergency anti tank guns at the Battle of Arras.

How is P.D. Hewson better known.

[Martin]

Not wishing to speak for JR but that is the right answer Bernard. Over to you.

[Big J R]

Away you go Bernard. Absolutey correct.

 

My apologies. Late on this site today.

[Bernard]

Yeah me too, just got on after returning from school.

 

In that case, here's my question:

 

Name Oedipus' four children, according to Sophocles' version of the myth cycle.

(This'll be one for D.H., then. He remembers Sophocles from school !)

You are becoming soooooooooooo boring.

 

Anyway the answer is Etocles, Polynices, Antigone and Ismene.

[Bernard]

That is excellent, well done Dave! It's great to have fellow Classicists around...

Who said "Greater Love hath no man than he lay down his friends for his life"?

[Big J R]

Jesus ? (allegedly !)

[David Holden]

I think he said "Greater Love hath no man than he lay down his life for his friends."
