Offensive: The German offensive started on July 5, 1943. The goal of the offensive was to wreck as much of the Soviet Army as possible. This goal was never met in its entirety. On July 5, the Germans struck on both sides of the salient to begin the biggest battle of the Second World War. From the very beginning of the assault they ran into trouble. Their Ninth Army, after initial success, became entirely bogged down in its attack from the north. In the south the Germans enjoyed greater…

1. Battle of Britain- July 10, 1940 – October 31, 1940 a. In the mid- June of 1940, Prime Minister Winston Churchill proclaimed in his speech ‘The Battle of France is over ... the Battle of Britain is about to begin’ ... let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say, ‘This was their finest hour’. b. Adolf Hitler had turned his attention to defeat Britain; he realized that an…

When the German army attacked the Soviet city of Stalingrad during the Second World War, both sides saw the symbolic importance of a city named after the leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin. Therefore, whichever side lost the battle would have their morale crushed. To elaborate, if the Soviet Union lost this battle they would lose control over an important region, the Caucasus, and would be crippled farther than they already were; the loss of Stalingrad would also symbolize the loss of…

At the age of 21, a man had a job as a weatherman at the Tiflis Meteorological observatory. He was hired to track rainfall and atmospheric pressure. Stalin had his own policy of stalinism. He made his county power. When he was 16, he made it into a magnificent school but was soon expelled. Within history Stalin made a stand against Hitler and the Nazi party. Despite Joseph Stalin's dictatorship, he lead his economy in a mass production and the defeat of the Nazi Party. Jewish captivity were…

Operation Overlord The year was 1944. Allied Soviet forces held a strong front across East Germany in a stalemate. What the Allies needed more than ever was an attack of the western front. This War had no problem taking casualties, and no other battle was more deadly nor significant than was yet to come. Enter: Operation Overlord. By this time, Adolf Hitler has held control of France for many months (Meacham). With the loss of this Allied power, the Allies needed to plan and…

codename Operation Overlord. Operation Overlord was the result of over 2 years of planning. Before D-Day the allies did many things to make Germany think that the main invasion would be at other places in France. The things they did to trick them included fake radio transmissions, fake armies, and fake equipment. The allies used Operation Fortitude to trick the Germans into thinking the invasion would happen in an area that was the shortest distance between Britain and France. Operation…

Over half of France was inhabited by German soldiers, this including all of Frances Atlantic Coast. After the Germans took France, America started planning an attack to capture France back. The Invasion of Normandy was named “Operation Overlord.” Three different groups of soldiers landed in Normandy and two more units were air dropped. Later, after a secure position was established more ground troops were placed on the beaches of Normandy. Hitler received word of the attack, but…

The Russians hailed it a “contemporary Cannae,” and the Germans condemned it as a Rattenkrieg (Rat War). Both descriptions were fitting. In the Battle of Stalingrad, Soviet forces surrounded and crushed an entire German army under General Friedrich Paulus, emulating Hannibal’s encirclement and destruction of a Roman army under Aemilius Paulus in 216 B.C. For both sides, Stalingrad became a desperate ordeal of rodentlike scurrying from hole to hole. This monumental battle is justly considered a…

The casualties of the battle of Stalingrad Is what I did my report on. It went down as one of the most brutal battles in history. Stalingrad was in the Soviet Union (Russia). Where the war was fought during the cold and brutal winter where the temperatures were as low as -30 degree Celsius (-22 degree Fahrenheit). The actual battle of Stalingrad began on august 23, 1942 and ended in February of 1943. The general (leader) of the soviets during this battle was General Zhukov. As far as the amount…

Mac Elliott 5-14-18 Modern America History D-Day D day was one of bloodiest battles that has ever taken place. Its location was very unique because of how the U.S came in on boats on the beach. The U.S brought their troops in boats and that played as a challenge for the U.S. The troops at Omaha beach got out of the boat to water that was higher than their heads. This was very hard for them because of how much weight there was in their backpacks made it hard to swim. The war took place on June 6…
