Some scientists during that time, are arrested to the army campaign to invent even stronger, powerful weapons for their country like Fritz Haber is one of them. He was forced to make bombs because the major chemical of making bomb is nitre stone, but the German nitre stone transport track was blocked by the Allies, so he used Ammonia synthesis to replace nitre stone.

BATTLE OF BRITAIN
The Battle of Britain took place between August and September 1940. After the success of Blitzkrieg, the evacuation of Dunkirk and the surrender of France, Britain was by herself. The Battle of Britain remains one of the most famous battles of World War Two. The German needed to control the English channel so the Britain Navy can’t land on Sussex and Kent beaches. To control the channel, German needed to use the air force. As a month had passed, the British finally defeated Germany and saved the channel.
TIMELINE OF BATTLE OF BRITAIN1940August 1st Hitler decreed the Battle of Britain with the command "The German Air Force is to
overcome the British Air Force with all means at its disposal, and as soon as possible."
August 13th "Eagle Day". The Luftwaffe launched its offensive against Britain, with 1,485 sorties. The Germans lost 45 'planes and the RAF 13.
August 15th A day of intense attacks. The Luftwaffe launched a total of 1,790 sorties and lose 75 'planes. The RAF lost 34.
August 17th The Germans established an 'operational area' around Britain. In it, any ship was to be sunk without warning.
August 25th The RAF launched its first raid on Berlin.
September 7th Some 300 German bombers, escorted by 600 fighters, attack London.
September 15th The RAF claimed to have shot down 183 German 'planes - a figure later found to be inflated.
September 17th Hitler postponed "Operation Sealion" until further notice.
October 12th "Operation Sealion" postponed until 1941.
BATTLE OF ARDENNES (1944)
+ The Ardennes Offensive, popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge, was the last major German offensive on the Western Front in World War 2. After the failure of Operation Market Garden, the Canadian 1st Army was finally supplied and moved forward, clearing the Westerschelde and opening Antwerp to shipping. This stabilized the lines once again, this time some 125km to the north of where they had been in early September, and the terrible supply problems the Allies had been having started to ease. At about this time the massive Soviet summer 1944 offensive burnt itself out in eastern Poland, and the war paused. Taking advantage of this, Hitler called for ideas to re-open the front in the west. Several ideas were submitted, two rising to the top. But Hitler was wrong, the act that the Soviet Union burned itself in Poland was just a fake act so Germany will slack their warn of Soviet Union Army. As Germany attacks the front west, Soviet Union send out 54 jet bombers Tupolev SB-2 to attack the German tank troop. And on January 27, 1945, the battle officially ended
ADOLF HITLER
+ Adolf Hitler is the leader of Germany throughout the war. During the war, he claims that the Germanic people are the highest quality nation and tribe, so he claims that the Germans can’t live with the dirty Jewish. During the war, Hitler’s army killed over 6,000,000 Jewish and other tribes that they think it’s dirty and “have” lower reaches of quality. This thing is a history that all the people will remember and never be forgotten the pain people are suffering….
