Can you accept Paton for Patton? I know it's not how he spelt it, but the pronunciation is close enough and there isn't always time to check spelling. It is a WW2 knowledge quiz rather than a spelling test.
Even if this were true... it would still be a pretty remarkably poor rationale. As if the Holocaust was somehow the only thing that mattered about World War 2? How would you ever even reach that conclusion? But... that aside... to cut and paste a bit: "R. J. Rummel, a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, estimates that between 1937 and 1945, the Japanese military murdered from nearly 3 to over 10 million people"

I never said that the Japanese were less sadistic than the Nazis. My point was that the SYSTEMATIC execution of millions may have left more of an impression. By the way, 6 Million Jews were exterminated by the Nazis. However, millions more who were killed included Gypsies, The Insane, Certain religious groups (among them Jehovah's Witnesses), and anyone the Nazis deemed unsuitable.
The only one I didn't get. Lots of people didn't get that answer because it's probably something that was not seen much outside the US during the war, and although the image has become fairly well known outside the US since, the name has not.
the blitzkrieg doesn't just refer to the battle of Britain it refers mainly to hitlers quick mobilization and attacks in the early days of his European conquest

over 8 MILLION people in their death/concentration camps. That is the reason I believe more emphasis is placed on the European war.
