Account for the Luftwaffe’s failure to win the Battle of Britain. In 1941, Britain stood on the precipice of German invasion, the only thing in their way, the Royal Air Force, “hopelessly outnumbered, horribly outgunned, [they] battled desperately and somehow, despite the odds, emerged victorious.” With all the odds stacked in their favour, buoyed from their recent success in France, the German Luftwaffe still failed to win the battle in the skies over Britain. This essay will provide a…

the most important battles in World War II, D-Day, can often be recognized as Operation Overlord or Operation Neptune, when people refer to D-Day, they often think of storming the beaches of Normandy and forget about the other tactics involved in the invasion. Many often ask what the “D” in D-Day stands for. “In military terms, D-Day and H-Hour are sometimes used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated.” Most times they are used when a date has not been…

The Dieppe Raid had several factors which led to its failure and cost many soldiers' lives including numerous Canadians. Many mistakes were made throughout the raid, which allowed the allies to gain knowledge of things to not do in the future. One of the main factors of the Dieppe disaster was that the whole raid was not fully nor properly planned. An event which was badly planned was the departure to Dieppe. The ships were to leave before dawn, where it is dark and the enemy would not be able…

Adolf Hitler started operation Barbarossa, a plan to invade the Soviet Union, and sent over 3 million german soldiers, 150 divisions and 3,000 tanks to ensure the Soviet Union would be taken. Operation Barbarossa is considered one of the most bloody battles in history with over 775,000 casualties on Germany’s side and 800,000 Soviets killed. The reason Hitler wanted so many units in the Soviet Union was because that Operation Barbarossa was a critical point in WW2. Operation Barbarossa ensured…

Operation Barbarossa had many key components and was an intricate invasion which was carried out with extreme precision. There were…

In this section, we provide details of the four modules of this invention. However, any one module of this invention can’t solve our problem alone. It is the interaction of all parts that allow the user to understand and improve the optimization models. We begin by defining the optimization problem. Our objective is to maximize or minimize the sum of objective terms by selecting optimal feasible levels of the independent variables. The set of process limits or constraints define the feasible…

in the causation of Operation Barbarossa other factors such as Hitler’s aims to expand Germany to the East and ideological differences also played large factors in the decision to launch an offensive against Russia. This ultimately led to Germany executing ‘Operation Barbarossa’ in 1941, its secret invasion plan against Russia whom they had signed a non-aggression pact with in 1939. Overall while the Winter War became the public and official reason for the cause of Operation Barbarossa, as it…

A powerful dictator named Joseph Stalin established a regime that focused to modernize the Soviet Union and destroy the Nazi hierarchy. Shortly after the death of Vladmir Lenin in December of 1879, Stalin gained control of the Communist Party, by assuming the role of General Secretary. Due to his decision to control the agriculture, famine swept across the land killing millions in its path. The few exceptions were innocents captured and taken to camps. Leader of the Red Army, Stalin led his men…

arguably the reason as to why the Nazis lost the second world war. In 1941 Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa4, which was the invasion of the USSR, who at the time, had signed a peace treaty with Germany. An obvious weakness was that Hitler was now going to have to fight on two fronts, compared to one previously, which would be hard to sustain. Additionally, there was another major flaw in the Operation- it was planned to be executed in the summer of 1941, however it was only by the winter…

The Hitler-Stalin pact is an amazing topic because the pact was made up of the two most hated dictators of the 1800s and both Hitler and Stalin made many countries fear them and try to ally with them. The pact had a lot of victories and destructions against other countries, but then the pact ended with Hitler 's dead and Germany 's defeat in WWII. The pact shows the ups and downs of having a pact with two greedy dictators that would do anything to gain power and expand their empires. There are…
