All he asked for was a rating.
He just said it was a WWII tank, never asked for a make and model.

How is WWII presented in Japanese schools; particularly, the events surrounding Pearl Harbor and the bombing of Hiroshima?

Japanese schools teach that WWII was not an "immoral" war - it was an ordinary war fought to the WWII generation of Chinese....
The Japanese education system presents a different viewpoint on WWII than the American education system does.

Sidearms during WWII
One question I have had for a long while is who carried the M1911 during WWII? I know officers and most NCO's did, but how about enlisted men (PVT, PFC, SPC, CPL) did they or were they on their own in getting pistols? Thanks..

The carbine was adopted in WWII because a battlefield commission.
It was very common for soldiers in WWII to use whatever weapon they could pick up off a fallen comrade was different and even platoon and squad leaders carried pistols.

Features a lot of less-known and rarely seen vehicles - T-26 light tanks , I-16 fighters - most of it used... .
Action scenes are still quite OK though the movie is over 15 years old .
A rather little known but a very good one is finnish movie ´Winter War´ .

I had never heard of this until I was in the Army never was taught these battles in school, weird as it's the only part of WWII fought technically on American soil I believe.

He said they used 45 1911's shotguns during WWII, but probably didn't have any specifically designed and used by the military.
In WWII guarded German and Italian prisoners of war in Arizona.
