Default Nickel

Starting with Nickel I am proud to swear that the only thing Sweden did not supply to Germany was nickel - for one obvious reason - there is no nickel in Sweden.

The nickel came - as Bill indicated - from Petsamo in Finland.

Patton was the best non-Swede in pentathlon in the 1912 Olympic games. And a hell of a horseman.

The picture - Some more clues:

Sapian July 1944. Right Adm Raymond Spruance CO 5th Fleet, middle MjGen Watson CO 2nd Div.

Question: Standing left CO 5th Amphibious Corps. Give me his nickname please.

Picture: "Hollywood goes to war". Joe Rosentahl of AP arranged this re-enactment wich became world famous.

Iwo Jima of course - but what is the name of the mountain?
