"Who is who" is a fixed phrase in English, and it has been borrowed into German. "Who is whom" does not even exist in either language. And of course on top of that you have "wer ist wer" in German, and not "wer ist wem" or "wer ist wen". There is nothing complicated here, and nothing to figure out. Everything really straightforward and right there in the open. (As a side note: there must be no question mark there. It's a declarative sentence, you are making a statement and not asking a question.) – RegDwigнt Dec 04 '14 at 11:07
