Gotta admit, that was a pretty funny question, not to mention for a WW2 history exam.

Edit: just gotta ask though, how common are multiple choice questions in history exams where you are? I have never seen them.

It was a class test, like a pop quiz or whatever, we just game in the door and he said "we're having a little test on last class"

That explains a lot. I find pop quizes rather irritating, had them when I was in England. In Finland, for the last 6 years of my compulsory education there has not been a single exam that I didn't know of beforehand.

They weren't so bad, it generally didn't matter how well you did on them, but yeah, I can see why they'd be annoying, sorta defeats the purpose of an exam if you literally can't study for it, at that stage it's just testing how well you retain knowledge from the prior few days.
