What is the world's largest battleship?
The largest battleship in the world, in terms of weight and armament, is the Japanese Yamato class battleship. She was 263 metres long and had nine 18.1" (460 millimetre) main guns, along with six 157 millimetre (6.1 inch) guns and about 20 127mm (3.9 inch) DP guns. Her main guns were the largest naval rifles ever mounted on a warship, each weighing about 3000 tonnes, which is the size of an average WWII destroyer. The class displaced 72,800 tonnes, which made her twice the weight of any allied battleship.
The reason for such a huge size is because during pre-war planning Japan figured out that they did not have enough resources to build a huge battleship armada against the US, so they saved their resources by building gigantic battleships that could take on multiple ships at once. They were designed with an armour belt that was 16 inches (406 millimetre) thick, which made them almost impervious to British battleships in a close range fight (British battleships use a light 15 inch shell), and can still withstand American shells. Five were laid down, three were built, one was converted to an aircraft carrier after the disastrous Battle of Midway, and the two others were scrapped after said battle.
Yamato was sunk in 1945 by a massive wave of over 300 aircraft during Operation: Ten-Go,where she capsized and exploded. Her sister ship, Musashi, was sunk by aircraft in 1944 during the Battle of Sibuyan Sea, Shinano was turned into a large auxiliary carrier, in fact the largest aircraft carrier of WWII, but sunk by the submarine USS Archer-Fish, 10 days after her commisioning.
The US were the only country that had a battleship which could match the Yamato's: The Iowa class. The Iowas were longer and had better fire control systems, but the obvioud disadvantage was the lighter armament which could potentially spell her doom if she had ever fought Yamato in combat. However, to battle this problem, the Americans developed a new shell, called the Mk II, that was excellent at piercing armour, enough so that "it is as good as, if not better, than, the Japanese 18.1" shell." The US were also planning the Montana class, which would have had Twelve 16"/50 MkII guns, but they were cancelled in favour of the Essex class carriers. If they had been completed, they would have been the "True" rivals of the Yamato class, as they were built for the purpose of rivalling the Japanese titans.

I believe you are thinking of Werner Von Braun, German Rocket scientist. Herman, is of course , a popular German name- means ( Nobleman or Army Man) Heer-Mann, or Herr-Man- sir, gentleman-man.) Mein Herr, you have got the wrong Von Braun. Herman Goering headed the Luftwaffe as Reichsmarschall- a rank specifically created for Him as Commanding Marshal of the Luftwaffe. There was no equivalent US Rank, Gen. HH. Hap Arnold was a General of the Army- that"s all ( at the time, and the song still reflects this- the Air Force was technically part of the Army).

Why did Hungary join the Axis?
For a nation of 10,000,000 population with little industrial strength or resource base and only a minor scientific community, the Hungarians did a lot. Their armies fought well in the Balkan campaigns and Russia. The Russian threat to European civilization was well understood by the Hungarian peoples and they responded by aiding the Axis cause. Their army was crushed in S Russia in 1944 and they withdrew the remnants to the homeland. A few lop sided battles were fought in and around the capital Budapest in late 44 and into 45 but Hungary was basically out of the war by then. As punishment for helping the Axis, Hungary was abandanoned by the western powers to enslavement by Russia. Russia pillaged and wrecked Hungary much like they did the rest of eastern Europe, although not so extensively as they did to Germany. After about eight years of this cruelty the Hungarian people rose up in revolt. The Soviet backed Hungarian army refused to fight their own people. The Soviets moved in with massive arms and crushed the Hungarians again. The west stood by, supposedly out of fear of triggering a nuclear exchange. Once free of the Russian chains, the Hungarians have sped to moderize their economy and have joined various western organizations such as the European Union.

How active an ally of Japan was Thailand in World War 2?
Japan Was Very active during WW2 So wasnt Thailand, Thiland also helped Germany So to say Thiland was very active.
Thailand may have been called SIAM during WW2. Nearly ALL occupied countries had some elements within their respective countries cooperating with the enemy (Japan & Germany). Siam may have been one of them. However, "allowing" Japanese troops to move freely through their country only would have made things easier for the Japanese. Otherwise, they moved as freely as they wished, they had the military power.

Why did Mussolini align Italy with Germany?
Hitler long admired Mussolini, and even tried to model his rise to power on Mussolini's. However, Mussolini did not return the admiration- in fact, Mussolini at first disliked Hitler quite a bit. In 1934, Nazis in neighboring Austria murdered their dictator, Engelbert Dollfuss; Italy nearly went to war with Germany over it (Mussolini and Dollfuss had been friends; also Mussolini didn't want Germany to gain Austria's territory, resources, etc). In 1935, when Germany began rebuilding its military in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, Mussolini met with British and French leaders at Stresa, Italy, to try to form an anti-German alliance. The attempt failed, as France and especially Britain had no desire to fight another war with Germany. Britain also made a deal with Germany behind Mussolini's back, allowing Germany to build a navy again.
All of this changed a few months after the Stresa negotiations. Italy went to war with Ethiopia after a skirmish on the border between Italian-controlled Somalia and Ethiopia; this led to a full-blown Italian invasion and occupation of Ethiopia. France and England wavered over whether to accept or condemn the invasion; this, along with Britain's naval treaty with Germany, shattered Mussolini's view of them. Only one leader really made any effort to support Italy's war- Hitler (although he also quietly gave supplies to the Ethiopians...).
Mussolini quickly warmed up to Hitler. He gave his consent to Germany's sending troops to the Rhineland region- an act also forbidden by the Versailles treaty (the Rhineland is a region of western Germany that borders France and Belgium). Around that same time, he also consented to Germany taking control of Austria, changing his stance since the Dollfuss assassination. Things moved fairly quickly from that point, as the two dictators shared a lot of common goals and ideas. An important point was that both strongly opposed Communism.
At the end of October 1936, Germany and Japan signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact", which was an alliance to help each other if Communists attacked one of them (at that time, the Soviet Union was the world's only Communist country). Two weeks later, Mussolini signed the pact as well. The Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis was formed; Hitler and Mussolini were officially allies.
