On May 8th he was awarded a second Star by special orders. The city of Rome, Italy, fell in June. On August 15, 1944, the 3rd Infantry landed near St. Tropez, France, and Staff Sergeant Murphy came ashore. Ahead was a German machinegun nest. A German soldier came out and pretended to surrender.
The Battle of Ortona was a very small yet horrific battle that took many the lives of the Germans, Canadians and the Italians. It started in Italy in 1943 and the aim of the battle was to take a German occupied town on the top of the hill. It was possibly the bloodiest battle of the Italian Campaign to date. The Battle of Ortona Forever changed the Italian front during WW2.
The European and Pacific Theatre There were many battles in World War II, all of them being important and having different outcomes. Two main theaters we are focusing on are going to be the European Theatre where the Invasion of Normandy took place, along with the Pacific Theatre where the Attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. Both events had major impacts on the outcome of World War II, along with all the other battles we encountered. If ether of these battles turned out differently, America may not have become the amazing beautiful place it is today. The battle of Pearl Harbor occurred early morning in Honolulu, Hawaii on December 7, 1941.
That is why the battle is known as the Battle of Iwo Jima. There were strong commanders that were involved in the Battle of Iwo Jima. The United States Commander was Commander Clifford B. Gates. He was the Commander of the Marine Corps from 1948 to 1951. The Japanese leader was General Commander Tadamichi Kuribayashi.
In Why the Allies Won, Richard Overy analyzes how the Allies regained military superiority and were able to win the war. The Allies won World War II because a wiser political leadership leveraged, through an adaptive and coordinated strategy, the technological and material superiority, capitalizing on Axis miscalculations and Allied military victories. In the book, the author extensively examines the decisive campaigns: the war at sea, the Eastern
The Great Hammerhead Shark has many physical attributions that make the species unique to other sharks. Perhaps its most well-known anatomical feature, the flat and t-shaped cephalophoil, aids the Great Hammerhead in catching prey. Ampullae of Lorenzini on the hammer-shaped head sense hidden prey, which especially benefits the hunting of stingrays. The variations within the cephalophoils differentiate hammerheads from each other. In addition, wide-set eyes give The Great Hammerhead shark a greater, more enhanced range of sight.
General Patton’s reputation grew with each battle and became known as the General who defeated Rommel. As the war moved toward the invasion of France in 1944, General Patton was assigned as commanding General of the Third Army. He was not to be involved in the invasion of Normandy but was serving a decoy to divert German attention away from the planned invasion sites. Hitler believed the Allies would not launch a full-scale invasion without the involvement of General Patton, their best
Luke Hameloth Mrs. Hameloth HS History General George Patton is regarded as one of the greatest military leaders in the history of the United States. Throughout his life, he accomplished many great feats. His tank brigade helped win countless battles and he was instrumental in the invasion of Sicily.

This battle is still remembered for being a turning point because of how badly the German army was damaged. The Axis powers thought that they could push the British and the American armies apart. Instead of pushing them apart and making them weaker it ended up making them stronger. The British and American armies were able to defeat the Axis powers. This victory is remembered as a turning point and as a battle that helped the Allied powers win the
On December 16, 1944, the Battle of the Bulge had made its everlasting mark in World War II. I chose this topic because I love how the Allies had a strong endurance and stayed powerful and thrived until the very last second of this battle. This year long war started with Adolf Hitler trying to separate the allies in the Ardennes Mountains. The Germans break through the front lines of the Allied armies. The Generals in this battle included, George S. Patton, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Adolf Hitler.
Major General Joseph Hooker, I Corps, Army of the Potomac. (Commanders at Antietam) Aligning themselves with the South were General Robert E. Lee, General in Command, Army of Northern Virginia. Major General Thomas “Stonewall” J. Jackson, II Corps Commander, Army of Northern Virginia. Brigadier General Jubal Early, Jackson’s Corps.
This is also known as the battle of the Bulge. The battle consisted of the loss of about 200,000 soldiers total. Eventually this led to the victory of the Allied forces. Without this siege the Axis powers may have eventually won World War II. Later on the United States plots a plan after s attack on Pearl Harbor.
When Germany started to threaten the U.S’s Allies, America had no choice but to step in. The Invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, also known as Operation OVERLORD, took place because Germany invaded and captured France. Britain was worried that they were next, so actions to prevent this was taken. Important leaders that were in command and helped plan or take action were General Eisenhower, who later becomes president, was the commander of Operation Overlord, Army commander General Bradley and Army General George Patton. Important Naval officers was British Admiral Ramsay who planned Operation Neptune, which was the naval element of Operation Overlord.
Operation Husky suffered from command and control problems affecting all aspects of joint function from its planning to its conclusion. Operation Husky was the most complex joint undertaking the Allied forces executed up until that point in WWII. While Allied forces fought together in North Africa, Operation Husky involved the largest amphibious operation to date. Complicating this were opposing viewpoints of American and British leadership, with American leaders advocating for an early cross-channel invasion and British leaders in favor of striking softer targets in order to force Italy out of the war. Eventually, Prime Minister Churchill triumphed and planning for the invasion of Sicily began in earnest.
To answer the question as to why the United Stated decision to increase their involvement into expansionism and foreign conflict during the 1890’s to the 1940’s, we would have to analyze the driving force and reasoning for them. Initially, during this time period, many aspect of the United States sociologic, and economical commonality and etiquettes were shifting due to a raise in population from both natural domestic births, as well as large immigration fluctuations, overall stability of the U.S economy and banking system. The three points that will be covered in this paper is the view on Woman and their status changed through the lens of the America society, the political involvement in foreign affairs such as the Spanish-American war, and
