Part One; The Nazi Invasion of Europe:

The Begining

When Adolf Hitler gave the order to take the Sudatenland in eastern Czec. the British and French sent emisaries to Berlin, as well as Joeseph Stalin, to negotiate with Hitler. The Allies eventually appiesed Hitler, and gave him the Sudatenland, in fears that Hitler would invade other countries as well.

The First Blitzkrieg

Hitler didn't think that the small Sudatenland (Only about 20-35 miles) was enough to bring the Fatherland to its former glory. He gave the German Army (Mainly SS) the order to invade Poland. The Luftwaffe (Air Force) bombed Poland ferocously, then the Panzer Divsions and Wermachts crossed the Polish border, and gained miles every hour. The heavy concentration of Polish troops (Who were critically outnumbered, and under-armed), were surronded, but fought fiercly, bringing a sence of shock to the Germans. The rest of the Polish Army started pulling back to warsaw, and were gradually pulling back towards the Russian border. Then, Hitler and Stalins secret pact unfolded, as Soviet troops poured over the eastern border of Poland.

The Forgotten Invasion

The Soviets and Germans agreed upon what countries each would take, both getting a fair amount. The Soviets got to take Finland, and went into the invasion with great inthusiasum. But the Soviets didn't know what they were in for. The Fins set up 3 defensive lines, known as TheMannerheim Line. The Russians pushed forward several times, only to be repelled back like dust in the wind. The Soviet moral quickly crumbeled, because all along the Mannerheim Line, the snow was red with Soviet blood. The situations for the Soviets got worse, due to the fact that countries all around the world were sending guns and ammunition to the Finish Armies. The Soviets were cut into pockets, and they lost around 30,000 troops. The Soviets slowly pushed forward with the help of Soviet artillary, but they gave up, eventually the Soviet Prime Minister and Finish Prime Minister drew the Finish border at where Peter the Great drew it in 1721.

Breakthrough at Belgium:

The Germans broke through the Sedan in Belgium, and the British and French Armies (Contrary to popular bielief, the French did fight in WWII) sent some 350,000 troops to Belgium in support. But the German advance was to much. The French Army, was caught with their pants around their ankles. The French High Command was trying to rally their divisions, but many French surrndered. There were afew galient stands, but no co-operation amongst the French.

Escape from France

The British and some French troops retreated to France. They waited for the Royal Navy to show up, and were brought back to Britian. The 100,000 French troops and 224,700 British troops were brought back to Britian just in time for the Germans to storm into Paris. The French Troops that were still remaining in Britian went back to France after France surrendered.

I've gotten in trouble a few times durring history, because I just sit there and read the WWII section all period...and I took my friends book (he's a junior) and read the WWII part durring bio (I'm a sophmore). I was also doing it to prove to a senior who was taking a test from another class (she had to sit at my table to take the test), that my friend and I didn't have to pay attention to the teacher at all, and get away with it. She was getting in trouble, though, because she kept laughing at what we were doing to pretend to pay attention. I'd just keep reading the book, wait for her to say something like "anyone know what this is?" and I'd just scream "I do!"...the teacher kept saying I was a good student, even though I had no idea what we were learning =D

Part Two; The Resistance


Skies of Heroism:
After all of western Europe fell, Britian was the only major European power left to resist the tide. Luftwaffe General Herman Goering was ordered by Hitler to obtain air superiority by any means possible. Georing decided to take out the Royal Air Force (RAF) air fields, so there would be little resistance that the British could offer. He devided his planes into three fleets, Luftflotte II, Luftflotte III, and Luftflotte V. By July the Luftwaffe facing the British fielded 2,800 aircraft, comprising of 1,300 Heinkel He 111, Junkers Ju 88, Dornier Do 17 bombers (combined amount of bombers), 280 Junkers Ju 87 divebombers, 790 Messerschmitt Bf 109 single-seat fighters, 260 Messerschmitt Bf 110 and Junkers Ju 88C heavy fighters and 170 reconnaissance aircraft of different ,makes and models. For a month the RAF was harrassed by the Luftwaffe. The British had two advantages, their radar sights, that could detect air attacks from 160 Kilometers (100 miles) away, and the fact that they were fighting on their home field, this gave them the privliage of ejecting out of the plane onto friendly territory.. On Augest 8th, the Luftwaffe made the main assault, but was countered by the competent RAF fighters. At the beginning of the Battle of Britian, the British had 347 Hawker Hurricanes, 199 Supermarine Spitfires, 69 Bristol Blenheim night fighters, and 25 Boulton Paul Defiants. When Goering realised that air superiority could not be achived, he oreded to commit night time bombing raids on towns and cities. For a month and a half, London was bombarded night after night by German Bombers. But on the last day of the Battle of Britian, the British had 8 more squadrons than on the first day, and students were ariving to train everyday. Thus, Hitler called off all planned invasions of Britain. So the Nation of Britian survived because of 3,000 coragous airmen.

Part Three; Sides formed

German Betrayal:

The Whermacht and Blitzkrieg were an incredible combonation. Hitler decided that the Russians were harboring jews in their country. Hitler decided to expand his horizons. He ordered his generals to send several armies into the Russian front. General Gerd Von Rumsted had several Panzer divisions under his command, and he used them effectivly. The Germans poured over the Russian front, breaking Hitlers pact with Stalin, that could have won the war for him.

Operation Torch:

America had her first major invasion in November of 1942, code named operation torch. My Grandfather among them. (I got my name from his rank Corporal, his initials PJG, and his birthdate 1917) The Americans landed at Casablanca, in the French Morocco, under the command of Major General George S. Patton. Hoping the French wouldn't resist, the 2nd Armored division, the 5th and 9th divisions in support. The French tried to resist, but were crushed in the end.
