    A single person being ignorant of this, I can accept. It's when the studio audience chimes in with their answer...

    I haven't watched Millionaire in a long time, but in my experience the audience was always right. I can't believe they would get an easy one like that so horribly wrong.

    You say that like this is just some distant little "factoid" only nerds know about instead of THE MOST BASIC AND EXPECTED BIT OF KNOWLEDGE THERE IS.

    They may have been too oppressed to learn about the world in WW2 but those people on that show have been about as affected by those events as I personally have been. They have no excuse.
