Was Erwin Rommel respected by the Allies? “German general Erwin Rommel took pity on Captain Roy Wooldridge, who was taken prisoner in operation before D-Day landings, in touching encounter revealed after 70 years (The Telegraph, 2014).” Rommel started to fight in WWI as an officer and he was promoted to a general after WWI. The Allies faced off against Rommel in WWII as Rommel continued to fight in WWII. However, to some members of the Allies, Rommel was more than a mere enemy. Although Rommel…

criticism that surrounds Montgomery’s D-day+ plan, and this problem surrounds the Battles of Caen and Falaise. This criticism of Montgomery comes from his apparent lack of accepting adaptation when an operation doesn 't go as planned. For instance, the Allies did not capture Caen in the timely fashion Montgomery had thought, although instead of acknowledging the fact that his plan had backfired, he simply stated thats the way he planned it. Montgomery highly disliked admitting that he was…

Describe The Action Allied forces landed on Gallipoli on the morning of April 25th but a combination of unexpectedly hostile terrain and fierce Turkish defense soon stopped any potential advance and the campaign degenerated into the familiar deadlock of trench warfare. In the Gulf of Saros to the north of Gallipoli, the Royal Naval Division carried out an unsuccessful diversionary attack aimed at convincing the Turks that the main attack was to be there.

Canada's Contribution to the Allied Effort Canadian Military Contributions were essential to win WWII.

Canada proved a…

The Allies did not possess the means, nor the will to attempt a rescue of European Jews prior to 1943. They were losing the war on all fronts, and military intervention in Eastern Poland or the Soviet Union was simply unfeasible. The Allies regained the means to intervene by late-1943, but the will remained absent. To allocate valuable resources, such as bombers or paratroopers to conduct raids and rescue attempts, would distract from the overarching goal of victory as the Allies begun the final…

Who is my ally? When it comes to narrowing it down to the one person who helps, loves and cares for me it is not hard to choose from. I always know at the top of my mind who is truly there for me no matter what. Who is it you ask? My mom. Yes, very practical but she is not just any mom, she is my mom. She has the best advice and always knows right from wrong. She has been my side through thick and thin and I can not thank her enough for that. To begin with, my mother was really there for me when…

The Allies and many other armies in World War II all had their own battle strategies to find the best possible outcome, which was to come out on top. To win the battle. In 1941, Germany was already rising up and becoming stronger. The United States knew this needed to stop because of the power that the Nazi's, Germany, were gaining. Churchill and his companies came up with a new battle strategy to begin their defeat of Nazi Germany. Their first plan was to cut off all of the needed supplies from…

Dramatic Allies My life has been full of allies for various things, but my mom, a great ally, was one of the most influential. Though she could not be there to witness it, she was a great help in preparing me for the theater program. She has always helped me prepare for the plays and musicals that I have attempted. Even when I felt shaky about it, she has pushed me to try again and work harder on it. In addition to that, she picks me up every day and allows me to continue doing it, supporting my…
