The Holocaust

The Holocaust was the act of killing approximately 6 million European Jews. They were murdered, enslaved, discriminated against and put down as horrible people for absolutely no reason. First moving them into ghettos all around Europe cramming tens of thousands into small areas with horrible living conditions. Then moving them into train carts shipping them out to work camps and death camps with nowhere to escape and no one to help them Germans separated women children brothers and sisters and either put them to work or sent them to death. They told them they were going to take a shower, crammed many into the "shower room" and when they realized there was no shower heads, they released gas and killed them all. In Europe at this time if you were Jewish, disabled, homosexual you were targeted and murdered. People need to learn from this horrible time in history. This was genocide, for reason that is unexplainable. This should not have happened. The Germans had no mercy, from what i have seen in this unit i was disgusted. The massive graves with bodies just killed and thrown in. Cutting off their hair stealing all of their possessions and selling it for money. Taking a whole religion and practically eliminating it out of Europe. This can never happen again. We need to teach this in our schools and show people how horrible this is to discriminate against people. Hitler died in 1945 and the war was over, the holocaust was over. Allied forces were moving in and discovering the death camps. even after everything they had seen in war they still broke down into tears when they saw these horrible places of evil and killing. They found documents of experiments that they performed on people that were crimes against humanity. They were able to charge anyone who had any knowledge that the death camps were running. They charged the scientists involved with the experiments that were disgusting. In the end we discover how brutal people can be and that brainwashing a whole population to go against a religion can lead to mass murder.

D-Day

The D-day invasion was planned for so long I don’t think that luck had anything to do with the victory. It was planned years in advance planning intelligence. If they did not think they would succeed then why would they go through with the attack. They had so many groups and army's to fight with them. It was a massive battle with all of the allied forces to take the power out of Germanys hands and end the war. From fake blow up tanks and ships, to little pocket crickets that could save a soldiers life if lost somewhere in France. They had "test" invasions on Dieppe and Dunkirk where they wanted to test their intelligence, the beaches, and just to see if they could win. When the men were slaughtered they realized that their intelligence was bad. They also had a lot less men involved less strategy which lead to their loss. After those two battles they learned what they had to do. Every soldier had a map and many more intelligence related items. In nights before the attack they dropped dummies with fire works on the beach of Pas de Cale, this made the Germans think they are trying to distract them for an attack that would be coming later. This gave them more time on the beaches and many of the Germans were at Pas de Cale. This lead to success in the end although not reaching all they objectives they stormed the beaches taking out the pillboxes and the Germans. They moved through Normandy taking out all German forces. This day of long planning and hard battle lead to the allies defeating the Germans and setting the world back in order.
