If you were out and a bombing raid took place you would make for the nearest shelter. The tube stations were considered to be very safe. I did not like using them myself. The stench was unbearable. The smell was so bad I don't know how people did not die from suffocation. So many

    Many people have remembered the unfortunate events of the Sandhurst Road School bombing as a drastic and tragic act of wickedness. The Sandhurst Road School bombing occurred at a ‘big’ and ‘imposing’ school on Minard Road in Catford, South East London on Wednesday 20th January 1943 when a German fighter-bomber dropped a ‘500kg’ bomb on the school at approximately 12:30pm. The resulting explosion killed ‘32 children and 6 staff and 60 others injured’ many buried under rubble. Later on a further six children died in hospital. Many questions arise on whether Schumann deliberately ‘targeted’ the school or simply attacked what looked like a large factory. ‘The school was also several storeys high’.…

    More than 40 000 civilians were killed and one million London houses were either destroyed or damaged. Initial German bombing raids focused on mainly military and industrial targets. However, Hitler believed that by targeting civilians he could force the British to surrender. It was an attempt to shatter British morale and force Churchill into negotiating. However, the bombing had the opposite effect, bringing the English people together to face a common enemy. Encouraged by Churchill, the people became determined to hold out against the Nazi…

    While World War 2 is regarded as the triumph of Allied Forces over the Axis, it is nonetheless important to note that Nazi Germany made great advances during the first three years of the War, conquering the majority of Europe and a large portion of Russia’s European territory. Although many people attribute this fact to Germany’s preparedness, military modernization and pre-war planning, the real reason lay in the Blitzkrieg military doctrine.…

    1939 White Paper During Ww2

    • 3993 Words
    • 16 Pages

    In 1939, the British government published a White Paper severely restricting Jewish immigration and planning for an independent Palestinian state within ten years. On the part of the British, this was an effort to secure crucial Arab cooperation in case of war. But neither the Jews nor the Arabs were pleased with the White Paper. The Jews took direct action against it, arguing that it violated earlier promises that had been made to them. The Arabs, on the other hand, argued that the restrictions were too weak. Still, the Arabs recognized the White Paper as a move in the right direction and although they went on record as opposed to it, they did not openly fight it. While the Jews forcefully rejected the White Paper, most of the Zionist leadership postponed the fight against the British in order to support them in the war. Some Jewish terrorist organizations, however, did spring up to target Britain. Throughout World War II, the White Paper allowed the British the support they had been seeking from the Arabs, while drawing opposition from the Jews.…

    I am researching the effects of Hiroshima on the “hibakusha” to understand World War II and the everlasting impact of the atomic bombings. In Japan, "hibakusha" means "the people affected by the explosion." The devastation left by the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima served as a reminder of the damage that it can do. The Manhattan Project began the development and research of nuclear weaponry. The dual bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Japan to surrender to the Allies on August 15, 1945, unwillingly. The nuclear bombs altered the lives of numerous Japanese civilians medically and socially, and these individual stories are forgotten in World War II’s narrative. Hiroshima was a demonstration of America’s military power and what…

    When the A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, instantly “Little boy” destroyed 90% of the city, even though it exploded at an altitude of 580 meters. Since the city of Hiroshima only had 298 doctors and 270 of them died, this was rough for the citizens in Hiroshima since the people had no medical help. When they were looking for food and clothes and such it was very rare for them to find the materials they need. However in Nagasaki it was easy to get meds from the naval hospitals out there. Well in September in Hiroshima it was very hard for the people to heal faster because it was so cold and rainy outside for them to fully recover. According to Cacpeaceday.…
