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.
Additionally, by the end of the day, the Germans had retreated into the old city leaving behind huge amounts of land mines. The next 6 days onwards were essentially the same, they involved the Germans retreating again and again leaving booby traps and explosives for the Allies to find and the Allies pushing up to control much needed ground. But on the 7th day or December 28th 1943, the battle had finally ended. It involved the Allies pushing the Germans into a castle overnight and in the morning when the Allies were ready to move forward they found no resistance whatsoever, the Germans had found a small route out of the city and had taken it, the Germans had retreated. So on December 28th 1943, the Battle of Ortona or “Little Stalingrad” ended, leaving the Allies free to take the rest of the
Without much warning, on June 22, 1941, Hitler’s German army invaded the Soviet Union, his goal was to destroy communism, and turn a large population of the Soviet Union into slaves. This invasion became the largest force in the whole European history. Joined by the Romanians and Finnish allies, the Nazis destroyed 3.6 million troops and thousands of tanks and planes along the 1,800 miles from the Arctic to the Black sea. At that time, the German armies went through western Russia, destroying and capturing entire Soviet armies. This rounded up to, 3 million captured in the year of 1941.
Next, the Germans invaded the Soviet union in 1941, where they began massive killing operations
1939-1941 On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, and over the following year, conquered much of Europe while persecuting Jews. In June 1941, Germany turned on its ally, the Soviet Union, and afterward, the Union’s mobile killing units followed the German army, carrying out mass shootings as it went. Gas vans also appeared on the eastern front in the late fall of 1941. 1942-1945
On June 22nd, 1941, the Germans invaded the Soviet Union under the codename, “Operation Barbarossa”. Operation Barbarossa is the second largest military conflict in the military history. In 1939, Hitler signed a nonaggression pact with Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union’s dictator, in which they would have no military action for the next ten years. However not even two years later, Hitler ordered to invade the Soviet Union. This invasion was only suppose to last three to six months; instead it lasted for about three years.
After World War II Germany split into four parts controlled by Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union (Russia). During this time, the United States and the Soviet Union entered the Cold War, where the U.S. tried eliminating Communism and the Soviet Union's supply of nuclear weapons. Berlin the capital of Germany, became divided between the West which belonged to France, Britain, and the United States. East Berlin came under the control of the Communist Soviet Union. Many people didn't like Communism and wanted to escape.
Throughout the term of World War II there were many types of war tactics that were used; one term is the strategic bombing which refers to all aerial attacks between the years of 1949 and 1945. This bombing included the bombing of military forces, railways, harbors, cities (which included civilized areas), and industrial areas. However, two militaristic countries, Japan and Germany, whose aggression in war and war tactics can be compared during the course of the war. Despite the fact that both the Japanese and the Germans had a different approach when the conquered a country, their aggressive war tactics can somehow be compared. Although, Germany might have seemed to be less aggressive when it first took control of other neighboring countries, but Germany latter on in the war can very well be compared with the Japanese aggression from their very first involvement in the war.
Thus, Hitler uses his advanced technology to execute his plan on Poland. In preparation, Hitler created the Luftwaffe, or the German Air Force, a newly-developed air force which sees its use first during the Poland Blitzkrieg. According to Modern World History, after deploying the quick aircraft and tanks on Poland on September 1, 1939, Germany successfully wiped out Poland in a month. Shocked, Britain and France together formed the Allied powers and declared war on Germany in September 3, 1939. However, they had to quickly develop new offensive and defensive weapons in order to stop Hitler’s devastating forces.
Blitzkrieg Blitzkrieg is an important war strategy that was applied by Nazi Germany. This word itself is the German term of “lightning war”, but it had not been known by the German army till 1939, when the war began. Until now, the origin of the word “Blitzkrieg” is still being disputed and most historians . This very strategy sent column to attack the behind enemy lines, using air raid, armored thrusts, motorized artillery and infantry in order to prevent the enemy to from fighting back.
The Nazi army Germany was defeated in World War One, and now they want revenge. The Nazi army had all of these troops, and they were all used wisely. To start, In 1939 the Nazi army had about one and a half million troops, and every single one, ready for battle. So, the Nazi army was rapidly growing( Spartacus educational), June, 1945, the Nazi army had three million troops( Spartacus educational ). Now, in all, the Nazi army had twelve and a half million troops serve( Spartacus educational).
The other countries and theaters of war which Germany sought to overpower were each ultimately affected by the impractical invasion of the Soviet Union: ‘Operation Barbarossa’, on the 22nd of June 1941. Nazi Germany’s mismanagement of its aggression, beginning with the North African Campaign (1940 -1943), the Italian Campaign (1943 -1945), and finally the war in Western Europe (1944 – 1945), enabled the Allied forces to gain victories in each of these theaters of war. As Gerhard L. Weinberg offers in A World at Arms: A Global History of World War II, the campaign during the summer of 1941 was meant to be a brief one.[4] It turned out anything but brief. The failures in the other theaters can all be attributed to Germany’s sustained focus on the Eastern Front, an effort whose sheer enormity left themselves spread too thin and unable to be operational elsewhere.
THE GERMAN BLITZKRIEG Blitzkrieg meaning lightning war or flash war. Just imagine being in the middle of a war where A German wahnsinnig who can take over France in A week without breaking a sweat gets stronger. The German blitzkrieg was a war strategy involving Armoured weapons, infantry and dangerous transportation Like the planes with the Swastika on their tails
This was able to happen when joseph Stalin the Soviet Leader signed the German Soviet Nonaggression Pact allowing Hitler to invade Poland. Poland was taken over rather quickly and according to secret protocol Germany and the Soviet Union divided up control over Poland because of the Nonaggression Pact (“World War Two History”). The six months following the war Germany wasn’t really active resulting in the media referring to it as a “Phony War”, little did they know that Britain and Germany navies were intensely facing off at sea and unfortunately Germany’s U-boats sank 100 Britain vessels in the first four months of the war. German forces invaded Belgium and the Netherlands which was known as “Blitzkrieg” translated as lighting war this happened on May 10, 1940. Only a few days later German troops crossed The Meuse River and attacked French forces at Sedan.
The Founding Fathers rebelled against the British government for good reasons, which led to the American Revolution in 1783. The Founding Fathers were justified in rebelling against the Britain because the government was not protecting the rights of the citizens, taxing the colonists, and forced them to house British soldiers. In 1756 Britain put the first tax on the colonists. This was the Stamp Act, it required colonists to pay taxes on certain items such as newspapers, legal documents, licenses, and even playing cards.
