Yep, correct.

Operation ‘Ironclad’ was the British seizure of Diégo Suarez on the north coast of the Vichy French island of Madagascar on 5 May 1942, and this was followed by the campaign that lasted to 6 November of the same year as a British-led land campaign, supported by a number of subsidiary amphibious landing, completed the seizure of this island.

Has to be the battle in the Teutoburgerwald

Visited the "Hermanndenkmal" in 2015.

Yes indeed. Ultimate disaster. Not easy to eliminate 3 Legions.

Yeah obviously a artist of the War is so romantic and dramatic school - rather than one of the Blood, gore, horribleness school. (Hmmmmm maybe now is not the time for a rant about the horrors of war vs the artistic trends of history etc - Quick change the subject!! .......... Look over there-> SHINY!!!!!!!!!! )

Sorry for the delay. But here is next one from a war I didn't know anything about:

LGBT Revolution?

Yes, but which battle of that war?

 

[Ulvjager]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Frankenhausen? The priest in black on the right reminded me of Martin Luther and I remembered him in reference to that war.

 

[Bert Blitzkrieg]

That's the right answer! The decisive battle of this war.

 

[mTk]

Darn. I was sure I had it.

 

[Ulvjager]

Well, the LGBT crowd has adopted the rainbow but for other reasons than commemorating the German Peasant's War.

 

[Ulvjager]

This took place shortly after this decisive battle between two great empires

 

[Ulvjager]

A hint, the victorious empires star was rising and the losing empire would be ruled by foreigners up until modern time.
