Download or read book The World War 2 Trivia Book written by Amz Publishing and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deadliest, farthest-reaching, and costliest war in human history, the Second World War, lasted from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945. The war accounted for an unprecedented loss of lives-both civilians and battlefield deaths. Adolf Hitler, the autocratic leader of Germany, is touted as the villain of this human-made calamity. The German chancellor's ambition to invade all of Europe and his belief that the Aryans were the most superior race of all paved the way for this global outrage. To makes things worse, Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's loss during World War I and executed millions of them in the Nazi concentration camps. The killing of Jews is the single biggest cleansing of a particular race in modern human history. The Second World War broke out following Hitler's invasion of Poland, which saw the rise of two power blocs: Allied and Axis. All the major powers of the world-Germany, China, the Soviet Union, Britain, Italy, Japan, and France--were involved in the bloody fight that lasted six long years. Even the United States was officially brought into the war after its naval base, Pearl Harbor, was attacked by Japan on December 7, 1941. The Japanese attack was retaliation for various sanctions, including oil supplies, imposed on it by the U.S. government.The war came to end after the Germans surrendered following the death of Hitler, who committed suicide along with his wife, Eva Braun, on April 30, 1945 in Führerbunker in Berlin. The defeated German army gave its acceptance to an unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945, to the Allied forces in Reims, France. Four months after the German defeat, Japan surrendered, on September 2, 1945, bringing an end to the abhorrence of World War II.Various events of small, big, and significant proportions determined the course of the war from 1939-1945. While we are mostly aware of the broad picture, not all of us know the little details that were equally involved in shaping the fate of the war-from changing the name of the hamburger in the U.S., to the invention of Nutella, to the accidental discovery of radar technology.

Download or read book The Forgotten 500 written by Gregory A. Freeman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing, never before told story of the greatest rescue mission of World War II—when the OSS set out to recover more than 500 airmen trapped behind enemy lines in Yugoslavia... During a bombing campaign over Romanian oil fields, hundreds of American airmen were shot down in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia. Local Serbian farmers and peasants risked their own lives to give refuge to the soldiers while they waited for rescue, and in 1944, Operation Halyard was born. The risks were incredible. The starving Americans in Yugoslavia had to construct a landing strip large enough for C-47 cargo planes—without tools, without alerting the Germans, and without endangering the villagers. And the cargo planes had to make it through enemy airspace and back—without getting shot down themselves. Classified for over half a century for political reasons, the full account of this unforgettable story of loyalty, self-sacrifice, and bravery is now being told for the first time ever. The Forgotten 500 is the gripping, behind-the-scenes look at the greatest escape of World War II. “Amazing [and] riveting.”—James Bradley, New York Times bestselling author of Flags of Our Fathers
