With a goal to inspire and a passion to pursue, New Berlin Blitz has founded five FIRST LEGO League teams with intentions to educate the younger minds in our community. To reach students in early elementary, New Berlin Blitz is in the works of starting a Jr. FLL team at Poplar Creek elementary. Our FLL teams are enrolled at two district elementary schools and one private school. We are currently working to expand even further, and hope to initiate FLL teams at the remaining two district elementary schools. Founded three years ago, these FLL teams have exceeded our expectations.
The actions of 9/11 and the Red Scare are in fact different. With the Red Scare it was Communism and with 9/11 it was Muslims, basically all Middle Easterners. Even though the date and time of the events are different, in both events men were able to step up and take advantage of fear and hatred to turn it into suspicion and paranoia. During the time of the Red Scare attack, the U.S became afraid that communist especially from Russia and China would spread throughout the modern world. The United States is a Democratic Nation and feared that the spread of communist would be good for the United States or the world.
The American army was very big, with 16 million people fighting in the army during the war. There was 13 million soldiers in the German army and 3.5 million soldiers in the British Army. In 1941, when America joined World War 2, the army wasn’t what people had hoped it would be. The German army had more training and better equipment than the American army. However, as the war
His book describes the relations among the five-man crew, the agony of having a tank shot out from underneath them, and the daily drudgery in going from town to town, river to river, bridge to bridge. With the Battle of the Bulge, December 1944, there was a great demand on the United States Army for replacements in the European Theater of Operations. Irwin finished his initial training in Fort Knox and then was shipped off to France. He was immediately put in charge as a ranking soldier. Irwin was instructed to join the 3rd Armored Division, but his crew gets lost and end up in a German occupied town.
But the Lord said unto me, “Do not say, I am a youth, for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.” (Jeremiah 1:7) Five Years Later: Team seven continues to achieve every goal they put their minds to. Their mothers are nurses at the same hospital. Joshua is growing into a statue of his father.
The Battle of the Bulge took place on December 16, 1945, wherein, according to ‘American History Online’, “The Allies used delaying tactics until reinforcements could be brought in from the flanks” (“World War II” 5), and had a resounding effect on the outcome of the rest of the war. Before the battle took place, Additionally, Allied troops were advancing into German territory faster than supplies could be consolidated, therefore causing major delays. With attention to the television show, ‘Easy Company’ during this time, was requested at the impoverished town of Bastogne (around where the battle took place), and was left with sparse amounts of munitions and foodstuffs. Moreover, this serves to be an accurate portrayal of the effects of supply delays in German territory, and was a key element in the unnecessary hardships endured during the conflict. The impenetrable American fortifications held strong however, and as a result the German counteroffensive failed miserably; however, as substantiated by ‘Britannica School’, the “Americans sustained about 75,000” (“World War II” 50) casualties as a result of German Blitzkrieg.
Eisenhower’s vision was: “his unfailing commitment to the conception that the war would be won only by American's and Briton's fighting together." The stage of creating the guiding coalition, was focused on “building an effective team based on trust and a common goal.” Although there was ongoing conflict on Eisenhower’s’ Allied staff, he was able use his experience to gain trust for Overlord based on previous operations. He was able to build and effective team where they focused on the common goal of the stated mission: “undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed
According to Source A, in 1994 the allies (Britain, Canada and USA) were ready to dislodge Hitler from “Fortress Europe”. The invasion was codenamed “Operation Overlord”, which was led by an American General by the name of Dwight Eisenhower. He had decided not to attack Calais as Nazi fortifications were strongest (Source A). The areas the allies invaded are UTAH, Pionte Du UBC, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword in
military leaders reluctantly went along with Britain’s peripheral approach, thus starting Operation Torch in the fall of 1942. The plan involved an Allied attack sweeping through German forces in North Africa, tackling Italian forces in Sicily and finally taking out Germany’s ally by invading Italy. According to Matloff, General Marshall acknowledged the advantages of this operation which would strengthen Allied air power over Germany and make way for a better Allied shipping route in the Mediterranean (689). As reported by Kent Roberts Greenfield, Chief Historian for the Department of the Army in 1946, the coalition and collaboration between the United States and Great Britain during World War II was “an unprecedented achievement in the history of nation-states” (Greenfield 43). Without their fullest cooperation, and the unique relationship between Churchill and Roosevelt, the war would not have been conducted so
The German army had been reduced by wars in multiple fronts. The date was June 5 of that year, but it couldn’t happen because of the storm that had unleashed on the English Channel. The big day would strike on June 6, the date could not be postponed again, if they wanted to keep everything in secret. Choosing the right day wasn’t easy. They had at their disposal June 5, 6, 7, 19, 20 and 21; since those days would be carried out operations in other areas of the German front.
This would allow Montgomery to launch his assault on the industrial heartland of Germany and end the war by Christmas.” (Greenarce 284) General Dwight D Eisenhower was the commander of the operation which would take over the land campaign from
Thanks to considerable railroad infrastructure, Dresden was also “one of the greatest commercial centers of Germany” and “a primary communication center.” It was this fact that drew the attention of Allied forces in the beginning of 1945, as the Soviet army began to surge into Germany. The bombing raid has been described as “the most barbaric, senseless act of the war” and the topic remains highly controversial today. Several researchers have asserted that not all of the communications infrastructure, such as the bridges, was targeted, nor were the extensive industrial areas outside the city centre. Critics of the bombing argue that Dresden was a cultural landmark of little or no military significance, and that the attacks were indiscriminate
The important of all this innovated aspect of the film is the best argument against Kracauer’s analysis, “The ‘story of the famous story’ has obscured the ultimate responsibility for this remarkable achievement. It was undoubtedly a happy combination of talents” (Robinson1997). The film history of Dr. Caligari is without a doubt what makes this film so transcendental. It is important to point out that Kracauer analysis also has a lot of factors that explained creation of the story in the film. Society are affected by war, so it is clear that the writers were influenced by terrible experience in the World War I.
Even General Eisenhower himself had a bad feeling about conducting the operation. Nevertheless, the switch from a peripheral strategy to one of targeting the center of gravity was a correct move for the Allies. One, Allied forces were much more prepared to carry out a cross-Channel attack than they were in 1943 because they now had more ships and troops to assault through northern France. Two, the German army was greatly weakened in their failed efforts to save Rommel in North Africa. Three, the United States and Great Britain had successfully come to realization that the center of gravity was Germany itself.
Death. It happens sooner than later for some people. Some accept it; others crave to see more. This is the general answer from people because it is tolerated. Death is a necessary evil and people tolerate it because they know that it happens.
