Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

BATTLE OF OKINAWA the horrendous losses the us suffered at Iwo Jima and Okinawa combined with the

devastating kamikaze attacks would only be a prelude to the slaughter that would happen when the US invaded

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

Two bombs were used-Little Boy (dropped on Hiroshima) and Fat Man (dropped on Nagasaki)

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

BATTLE OF OKINAWA the horrendous losses the us suffered at Iwo Jima and Okinawa combined with the

devastating kamikaze attacks would only be a prelude to the slaughter that would happen when the US invaded

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

WW II DEATHS PER COUNTRY

The Results of the War 1 The Holocaust US and

Allied soldiers discovered gruesome sites when liberating Nazi Occupied Europe the victims where Jews and other of Hitlerrsquos rdquoenemiesrdquowere being systematically massacred by the Nazis

2 The Russian Soviet communists took over all of Eastern Europe- the Cold War followed as a competitive arms race between the United States and The Soviet Union (Russia)

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

WW II DEATHS PER COUNTRY

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

WW II DEATHS PER COUNTRY

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

BATTLE OF OKINAWA the horrendous losses the us suffered at Iwo Jima and Okinawa combined with the

devastating kamikaze attacks would only be a prelude to the slaughter that would happen when the US invaded

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

Allied soldiers discovered gruesome sites when liberating Nazi Occupied Europe the victims where Jews and other of Hitlerrsquos rdquoenemiesrdquowere being systematically massacred by the Nazis

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

The Nazis Surrender Roosevelt (USA)

Churchill (Britain) and Stalin (Russia) made arrangements for post-war Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

25 Why was the date August 15 1945 a cause of celebration for Americans

V J DAY AUGUST 14 1945 WORLD WAR II ENDS-The Japanese finally surrendered

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

WW II DEATHS PER COUNTRY

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

ALIKE TO REPORT TO THE CIVIL CONTROL STATION TO BE DEPORTED TO THE CAMPS

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

Eva Braun Hitler (wife of the Fuhrer)

The Nazis Surrender Roosevelt (USA)

Churchill (Britain) and Stalin (Russia) made arrangements for post-war Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945

American British French and Russian forces eventually surrounded Berlin in late April of 1945

On May 7th the Nazis surrendered VE-Day (Victory in Europe Day)

Finishing off Japan May-August 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

BATTLE OF OKINAWA the horrendous losses the us suffered at Iwo Jima and Okinawa combined with the

devastating kamikaze attacks would only be a prelude to the slaughter that would happen when the US invaded

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

Two bombs were used-Little Boy (dropped on Hiroshima) and Fat Man (dropped on Nagasaki)

25 Why was the date August 15 1945 a cause of celebration for Americans

V J DAY AUGUST 14 1945 WORLD WAR II ENDS-The Japanese finally surrendered

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

WW II DEATHS PER COUNTRY

The Results of the War 1 The Holocaust US and

Allied soldiers discovered gruesome sites when liberating Nazi Occupied Europe the victims where Jews and other of Hitlerrsquos rdquoenemiesrdquowere being systematically massacred by the Nazis

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

Allied soldiers discovered gruesome sites when liberating Nazi Occupied Europe the victims where Jews and other of Hitlerrsquos rdquoenemiesrdquowere being systematically massacred by the Nazis

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

Two bombs were used-Little Boy (dropped on Hiroshima) and Fat Man (dropped on Nagasaki)

25 Why was the date August 15 1945 a cause of celebration for Americans

V J DAY AUGUST 14 1945 WORLD WAR II ENDS-The Japanese finally surrendered

V J DAY AUGUST 14 1945 WORLD WAR II ENDS

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

WW II DEATHS PER COUNTRY

The Results of the War 1 The Holocaust US and

Allied soldiers discovered gruesome sites when liberating Nazi Occupied Europe the victims where Jews and other of Hitlerrsquos rdquoenemiesrdquowere being systematically massacred by the Nazis

2 The Russian Soviet communists took over all of Eastern Europe- the Cold War followed as a competitive arms race between the United States and The Soviet Union (Russia)

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

Allied soldiers discovered gruesome sites when liberating Nazi Occupied Europe the victims where Jews and other of Hitlerrsquos rdquoenemiesrdquowere being systematically massacred by the Nazis

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

The Nazis Surrender Roosevelt (USA)

Churchill (Britain) and Stalin (Russia) made arrangements for post-war Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945

American British French and Russian forces eventually surrounded Berlin in late April of 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

BATTLE OF OKINAWA the horrendous losses the us suffered at Iwo Jima and Okinawa combined with the

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

Two bombs were used-Little Boy (dropped on Hiroshima) and Fat Man (dropped on Nagasaki)

25 Why was the date August 15 1945 a cause of celebration for Americans

V J DAY AUGUST 14 1945 WORLD WAR II ENDS-The Japanese finally surrendered

V J DAY AUGUST 14 1945 WORLD WAR II ENDS

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

The video says 395000 or so but if you include MIAs (Missing in Action) and POWs (Prisoners of War that were never returned) we lost closer to 500000 Americans to the War

WW II DEATHS PER COUNTRY

The Results of the War 1 The Holocaust US and

Allied soldiers discovered gruesome sites when liberating Nazi Occupied Europe the victims where Jews and other of Hitlerrsquos rdquoenemiesrdquowere being systematically massacred by the Nazis

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

The Nazis Surrender Roosevelt (USA)

Churchill (Britain) and Stalin (Russia) made arrangements for post-war Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

The Nazis Surrender Roosevelt (USA)

Churchill (Britain) and Stalin (Russia) made arrangements for post-war Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

BATTLE OF OKINAWA the horrendous losses the us suffered at Iwo Jima and Okinawa combined with the

devastating kamikaze attacks would only be a prelude to the slaughter that would happen when the US invaded

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

Why Intern Japanese Americans

the government interned more than 120000 people of Japanese descent both citizens and non-citizens

this was done to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Japanese Americans living on the west coast

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

1988-US government paid reparations of $20000 to all surviving Japanese-Americans still alive

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

26 How many Americans lost their lives during WW II

the military investigated reports of traitorous activities by Japanese Americans and none was ever found to be true

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Manhattan Project-secret project assisted by the minds of Tesla and Einstein

Potsdam Ultimatum Truman to Japan-surrender now or face ultimate destruction

Two bombs were used-Little Boy (dropped on Hiroshima) and Fat Man (dropped on Nagasaki)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

Eva Braun Hitler (wife of the Fuhrer)

The Nazis Surrender Roosevelt (USA)

Churchill (Britain) and Stalin (Russia) made arrangements for post-war Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945

American British French and Russian forces eventually surrounded Berlin in late April of 1945

On May 7th the Nazis surrendered VE-Day (Victory in Europe Day)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

PICTURES OF KAMIKAZES AND US SHIPS HIT BY SUICIDE PLANES SPRING-SUMMER 1945

All combined kamikaze operations

combined sunk thirty-four ships and damaged 288 ships

The most damage done by kamikazersquos

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

BATTLE OF OKINAWA the horrendous losses the us suffered at Iwo Jima and Okinawa combined with the

devastating kamikaze attacks would only be a prelude to the slaughter that would happen when the US invaded

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English Operation Watch on the Rhine)

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

Hitler ends his own life

Hitler and his beloved dog Blondi

With allied forces surrounding Berlin Hitler and his longtime mistress Eva Braun turned wife committed suicide in their underground bunker in Berlin on April 30 1945

Eva Braun Hitler (wife of the Fuhrer)

The Nazis Surrender Roosevelt (USA)

Churchill (Britain) and Stalin (Russia) made arrangements for post-war Europe at the Yalta Conference in February 1945

American British French and Russian forces eventually surrounded Berlin in late April of 1945

On May 7th the Nazis surrendered VE-Day (Victory in Europe Day)

KAMIKAZE ATTACKSbull Kamikazes were the

suicide attacks the Japanese began late in the

war when they realized they could not defeat

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

was at Okinawa where 1465 suicide planes sank 30 ships

and damages 130 more

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Hitlers Last Days End of WW II in Europe

Several attempts were made on Hitlers life during the war but each plot was foiled

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

19000 Americans killed in action

was the single largest and bloodiest battle that American forces experienced in World War II and in all US Military history (89000 casualties)

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

The war for Germany appeared to be inevitably lost as the US and its allies surrounded and then invaded Germany after the last German Offensive (The Battle of the Bulge)

Hitlerrsquos hand-picked lieutenants seeing the futility defied his orders or committed suicide

Hitlerrsquos 2nd in command Heinrich Himmler committed suicide after capture

The Battle of the Bulge

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

conventional US forces

there were other types of kamikaze vehicles as well

These included small boats flying human missiles or

ohkas human torpedoes and even the great battleship

Yamato

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

The Surrender and Defeat of Japan

Japan ndashrefused to surrender despite nightly firebombing of its cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama

The Allies were planning a massive 2-part invasion of Japan code-named Operation Downfall to begin on X-Day November 1 1945 and end with Y-Day on March 1 1946

The invasion would have included troops from the USA Canada Britain and Australia

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa

The Atomic Bombs

Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan

1 To bring the war to a swifter end 2 The battle for Okinawa had shown that an

D-Day type of invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November) would result in large numbers of American casualties The official estimate given to the Secretary of War was 1 million Allied casualties though some historians dispute whether this would have been the case

3 Invasion would also have meant the death of tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians who were being trained as militia

4 The Japanese were refusing to surrender (to surrender is a dishonor)-break for Pacific scene from Okinawa
