The Allies established in the city their own police and courts. Except of the Bureau of International Police, which was located on the Golden Horn seafront, each European Power had its own police department (British crocker, French and Italian section) in their zone of control. Americans, having neither a district to control, nor its own army in the city, dispatched their police patrols by evenings to gather from the streets drunken American sailors. Ottoman Police had permanent stations…

Overy, R. J. Why the Allies Won. New York: W.W. Norton, 1995. In Why the Allies Won, Richard Overy gives the reader a chance to challenge the “inevitable” outcome of World War II. Allied victory may be viewed as certainty now, but during the war, it was not. Overy explains, even as people have been taught since World War II was over that the Allies were going to win anyway, the Allies were not always the frontrunner in the war. Up until 1942, the Allies were forced to plan for alternate…

While D-Day was never officially planned months ahead for this specific date, the Allies were making moves that would eventually give them…

for our allies. Here in the U.S., every man between 21 and 65 had to sign up for the draft. The draft was a way to get men into our military fast, since the troops were so unprepared. Many wives and children found themselves suddenly alone, lacking a husband or father. Women had to take jobs that the men normally did. Women would work in organizations for the military. Women would also work in factories usually maned by men, and the women felt uncomfortable working there. Many women were…

On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified French coastline, to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. After the invasion, Allied Commanders had to confront a problem, “How are the Allies going to sustain one of the largest fighting force ever assembled, moving faster than any Army before it?” The Red Ball Express provides the solution for Allied Commanders.

My legs are dying from exhaustion and from all the beatings I have endured. From what I can see though, I seem to be a target of the guards. They try to tear me down so everyone else will become pained when one of their own is suffering so much. Since I have so much time to think while we march I begin to think of all possibilities of our fate. The two leading ones were that they either marched us to death or we are met by Ally troops and freed. I see that the Germans were obviously trying to…
