WWII Quiz

So of you should see a doctor guys! This Miss Shilling business starts to become sick..... ANd how the hell am I ever supposed to get a question right? I just know the normal things, not minute facts known to twisted people!
 
This will probably annoy Ted even more (sorry Ted ;) )

In WW2, a malfunctioning toilet led to the loss of a submarine.

Name the Sub, and explain how a faulty toilet lead to its loss.

Christ Redcoat! How do you know this..... ? Or were you on the sub when it happened. :) But I'll start looking right away and see if I can find the answer.
 
Well I came up with the name: The German submarine U-120. But I haven't found yet why. One sec...... nope.... just that the toilet malfunctioned. I reckon that it started flooding the compartiments... say, the one -way exit malfunctioned and gallons of water poored in! (That last bit is my "knowledge" of submarines, but it would make sense don't you think?)
 
Come on Redcoat..... don't leave me hanging there buddy!! I'll turn in now, and hope that you'll reply before I cranck up my computer at work. It will make my day if I am right..... The last time was on page 1 or 2 of this thread, so it has been a while!!!!

I'm sorry Ted. :(
U-120 is not the right answer.
U-120 was scuttled by her crew at the wars end.

ps. The number you posted is close to the right one, but I'm not saying in what way its close ;).

Its not U-120. its U-1206.

Your web-site is wrong , probably a typing error.

Here's 3 separate sites which claim it was U-1206

U-1206 was on patrol when there was flooding from the toilet which got into the batteries releasing chlorine gas. This forced the sub to surface, close inshore to the British mainland,
Because of the gas, the fact it was still flooding, and that the British had noticed her presence, the crew abandoned the U-boat, and made their way to the shore. The U-boat sank soon after.

If no one objects you can post a question Ted, after all, according to 'that' web-site you were correct ;)

Alright lads:

In 1944 a little village in Holland suffered severly because of German revenge.
a) What was the name of the village?
2) Why was it punished and how?

I am sorry, but it wasn't Nijmegen. (On the other hand, I relish the fact that the first answer isn't straight away the right one!)
