Army Camp Germany Research Paper
Army camp – Germany

My Love,

I am lying here listening to the random gunshots in the distance not letting me sleep. Attempting to sleep in this tiny tent with several patches sowed onto the roof. We arrived safely to the camp. There will be no drill today therefore I will have time to write you several more letters. We arrive fairly late here to the city; we marched to the main tent to have some dinner. The food is not so bad, every time reminding me of those wonderful hot meals you gave me every night. Setting up the tent was not much of a problem; we had the help of a high officer who obviously has had experience building the tents. Our equipment has started to arrive but my low rank has kept me waiting for my equipment.

    Even though each soldier would have been involved in some form of continual conflict with serving on the front-line (trench rapids, snipers, shelling), it is possible to distinguish major battles (or pushes) whose names have gone down in history as some of the bloodiest conflicts ever waged. There were many battles that took place during the war but the most remembered were the five major battles. Those battles are, The Battle of Marne (1914 and 1918), The Battle of Verdun (1916), The Battle of Ypres (1914, 1915, and 1917), The Battle of the Somme (1916), and The Battle of Cambrai (1917). This paper will explain the pros and cons and major details of each battle.…

    The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Battle of Ardennes, was a major battle fought in northern France during World War II that took place in the Ardennes Forest of Belgium which is a mountainous region of dense forest. The Battle of Ardennes was given the nickname of the Battle of the Bulge because, as the German troops pushed back the center of the Allied forces' line, it created a deadly "bulge" pushing into Allied defenses. On the Allied side, most of the troops were American, which is why it is considered one of the greatest battles ever fought by the United States military. In fact, Prime Minister of Britain, Winston Churchill, said "This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of World War II.”…

    It has been estimated that over 4,000 First Nation’s had taken the initiative to serve in the second world war. This is an extraordinary discovery due to the fact that they received very few civil rights in the twentieth century for their heritage. They overcame many barriers to help enlist in the war such as cultural and language barriers that separated them from the other european troops. By overcoming them they produced a new found recognition that would express their sacrifice and achievements to eventually advance their First Nation rights.…

    This is an ambulance, it represents the start of a major turning point in Canadian history when women were welcomed and wanted in the work force. It also symbolizes the first time women served as a part of the military forces allowing them to overcome another obstacle in order to reach their goal of equality. At first, women were discouraged from being involved in the military, but as the war progressed, the government realized that the demand for soldiers was greater than they had originally expected. Although women could not partake in combat, they still helped the soldiers succeed on the battle field by driving tanks and ambulances, delivering messages, sorting mail and many more. Their acceptance in the working society greatly impacted the role of women in Canada from that time to this present day[1]. However, even though the thought of women working was beginning to be recognized, equality in the work area and full acceptance in the labor force was far from perfect.…

    Jews and political prisoners were not the only Buchenwald prisoners, although the “politicals,” given their long-term presence at the site, helped with the structure of the prisoner system. The SS also housed criminals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, and military deserters at Buchenwald. Buchenwald was one of the only concentration camps that held “work-shy” individuals, people who the regime identified as not being able too, or wouldn’t, find work. In the later in the…

    The ghetto was where the Nazis send all the remaining Jews to live in. It was located on the outskirts of Germany. Most Jews had to watch their families and friends die in front of them. They were done watching people getting killed in front of them. On September 1942 the United Partisan Organization was formed in the Vilna ghetto. They built a secret headquarters and weapon factory in a basement that was hidden from the Nazis, mapped all alleys and cellars while traveling without being detected. They stocked guns and taught new members on how to fight and use a grenade. A little while later they gathered more than 200 fighters. Near the beginning of September, 1943 the Jews heard that the ghetto was going to be destroyed and decided to attack when the German soldiers arrive. On September 23rd, 1943 the Nazis…

    That also worked well in 1939 when we sent ships full of Jewish refugees, including Anne Frank, back to Germany to their deaths. Timothy McVeigh killed more people in Oklahoma than were killed in Paris. Did we put all white male gun nuts in internment camps? All of the French attackers were European Nationals, not Syrian refugees. France knows this, that's why they're taking in 30,000 Syrian refugees. I think I've got it. Christian good - non-Christian bad, white skin good - brown skin bad. Hang in there Mexicans, we'll get back to…

One reason that is stated is that “All Japanese look very much alike to a white person...” (Carnes 97).…
