1. False (Hungarian T-38G was an uparmored Pazner 38(t), not 35(t). )
2. False (Often presumed to have been derived from the British "Independant", but no documentary evidence from Soviet archives has yet been found to show any direct lineage.)
3. True
4. False (The T-34-85 was fitted with the 85mm gun. The T-34 was fitted with a 76mm gun. ChKZ is a reference to which factory the T-34 comes from, but not its version.)
5. True

1. False- the two were related only due to the fact that they looked similar
2. False-Operation Typhoon was the codename for a German offensive on the Eastern Front in late 1941 or early 1942 (can't remember which, although I think it was 1942).
3. False-Blitzkrieg means "Lightning War" not lightning fast
4. True (I think, I don't remember precisely)
5 False- the British used the Fairy Swordfish, a Biplane Torpedo plane, early in WW II

1. True. The swastika is an ancient symbol used by many cultures throughout the world. The word swastika is not of German origin and the symbol was also copied by the Nazi regime

2. False. German Operation on the Eastern Front 41-42.

3. False. Lightning war.

4. True. Italian base was taken by the Free French and British Long Range Desert Group.

5. False. Lots of biplanes were used. HS-123, Gloster Gladiator, I-153, Fairy Swordfish and others.
