1945-11-20 DATE THE NUREMBERG TRIALS BEGAN (aka Correct Answer)
1946-02-01 Joshua Kreitzer
1946-02-26 Erland Sommarskog
1946-03-31 Dan Blum
1946-06-01 Peter Smyth
1946-07-07 Calvin
1946-10-01 DATE THE NUREMBERG TRIALS ENDED (with the reading of the sentences)
1946-10-01 Mark Brader
1946-10-01 Dan Tilque
1946-10-01 Pete
2015-02-04 David B

So David B has saved 3 players from the tie-breaker of earliest entry. Be thankful, and when you speak of him, speak kindly.

David B is eliminated. Sorry. I'll make a new thread for the next question and all subsequent ones to avoid this problem in the future.

The contest is now open to Pete, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Joshua Kreitzer, Calvin,
Mark Brader, Peter Smyth, Russ, and Erland Sommarskog.

It's kind of funny that three contestants would clash exactly on that
date. Because, when I looked it up on Wikipedia, that was the day this
particular trial ended.

Actually, I didn't clash on that date. My answer was 1946-09-03, almost
a full month earlier.

(This has to count as one of the most devilish rounds I've ever seen.
They appears to purposely have picked cities that are very close to
each other in north-south, so even if you know the cities you get
a headache. I don't think everyone in a Toronto would get Australia or
Belgium right even if you asked for east-west.)

This was a lot easier - I hardly recoginze anyone, so I don't have to
