Okay, back again for another week, and we've added another two players.

Sharpie got the Tiger tank question: the first two Tiger tanks destroyed in combat were destroyed by their own tank crews, abandoned during battle, and blown up so the Soviets could not get their hands on the technology. It was shortly after that, that the Soviets and the British got more chances to blow Tigers up.

11B1SG and Sharpie both knew where Rommel got his goggles... from a British POW (technically, from a captured British Staff Car). Good job!

And, Sharpie nailed th call on the First Foreign Soil. The first soldiers set foot on foreign soil in St John's, Newfoundland, in January of 1941.

So, that clears the queue, and we can start the week fresh!


Today's question: In April of 1969: a US soldier was injured while on combat patrol in a way no other soldier in Vietnam was. How was this Spec 4 injured?
