Hitler’s master race



[] In his book “Mein Kampf” or “My Struggle” he divides humans into categories, and being his “most dominant” category is the German male, fair skinned, blonde hair, blue eyes. These people are known as Aryans. Adolf Hitler’s lowest category being the “weakest” would be communists, Jewish people, and the physically and mentally disabled, basically everyone other than the Germans. He believes that the human culture such as art, science, and technology was created by the Aryans and only them.

The “Big Three” were the Allied leaders of the United States, Britain, and Russia. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Stalin were the three leaders of each of these countries. These three leaders all met together forming “meetings” to discuss the problems of WWII. FDR concentrated on gaining Soviet Union for the U.S war effort against Japan. Later Stalin entered the Pacific war a few months after Germany’s surrender.

Battle of Stalingrad



[]

The Battle of Stalingrad to most historians is known as the “turning point” in World War II in Europe. The Battle of Stalingrad was fought through the long winter of 1942-1943. Germany wanted this land for the oil fields but the Soviet Union trapped the Germans, and cut off all food supplies. After this defeat the Germans were pushed back to their mainland. This battle was a disaster for the Germans because over 91,000 Germans were taken prisoner, and a complete army group was missing.

[] On June 6, 1944 160,000 Allied troops landed on a 50 mile stretch along the French coastline to fight the Nazi’s on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Eisenhower said “ we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircrafts were there to help in the invasion of D-Day.
