One in ten Brits (9%) admit they are “clueless” when it comes to knowledge of World War Two – with 37% having no idea when the conflict even took place, a study has found.
Nearly four in ten (38%) are not confident about which countries ultimately emerged victorious, while a third, of 2,000 adults polled, had no idea Sir Winston Churchill was Prime Minister during the war.
And their knowledge of wartime battles is also lacking, as 42% were unaware the Battle of Stalingrad was fought in the former Soviet Union.
