Animals such as pigeons and doves, bring messages back and forth sending important letters and, the people who retrieve it send a message back on a pigeon/dove. Dogs carry medicine and badges just in case of a injury, so other dogs are trained to scent  mines and act as messengers. After the war, the animals were given medal. Horses in world war 2 were used by the belligerent nations for transportation of troops, artillery, material, and to a lesser extent. Cats would kill rats and mice or would eat contaminate supplies. Horses, donkey, mules and camels carried food, water, ammunition and medical supplies to the men at the front and dog and pigeons carried messages.

As the allies were lose the Battle of France on the Western front, The battle of Dunkirk was the defence and evacuation to Britain of British and other allied forces in Europe from 26th May to 4th June 1940. In one of the most debated decisions of the war, the Germans halted their advance on Dunkirk. Contrary to popular belief, what became as the “Halt Order” did not originate with Adolf Hitler. Generalobersten Gerd Von Rundstedt and Günther Von kluge suggested that the German forces around the Dunkirk pocket should cease their advance on the port and consolidate to avoid an Allied breakout.

Childhood: Adolf Hitler was born on 20 April 1889, in a town in Austria-Hungary close to the border with the German Empire. He was christened as “Adolphus Hitler.” Hitler was the fourth out of 6 children. 3 of his siblings name are, Paula Hitler, Ida Hitler and Angela Hitler. Hitlers father was called Alois Hitler and his mother was called Klara Hitler.              Adulthood: As an adult, Hitler wanted people who had blue eyes and blonde hair to live and he attempted to murder any others. He sent out people with brown eyes, hair etc to concentration camps to murder them all. Hitler increased to a place of prominence in the early years of the party. Hitler loved blond hair and blue eyed people because German people tend to have blond hair and blue eyes. Also the ancient Germans were all or mostly blonde hair and blue eyed. Hitler wanted to return Germany to its ancient pagan past when the Germans were healthy and strong. By Morgan & Brooke 😏

There were three major types of planes used in World War II including fighters, bombers and transport planes. Fighter planes are designed for air-to-air combat. They are fast and agile. During World War II fighter planes were used to gain air superiority over a battlefield. The Supermarine Spitfire that was the champion British warplane and undoubtedly the most famous WWII aircraft originating from that country. Developed prior to the war, Spitfires in general are regarded as one of the best fighter aircraft ever. The German Dornier Do 335 “Pfeil” is the fastest of the war. The fastest propeller driven US aircraft of the war that saw service in combat was the P-47M Thunderbolt. The first major attacks in World War II were made by German aircraft in the takeover of countries such as Denmark, Poland, and the Netherlands. Later, Germany would attempt to destroy England's Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain. During this battle, German planes dropped thousands of bombs on England for over three months straight. The Allies later countered with a major air attack on D-Day during the Invasion of Normandy. They launched around 14,000 sorties (airplane attacks) in one day.

Evacuation means leaving a place. During the Second World War, many children living in big cities and towns were moved temporarily from their homes to place considered safer, usually out in the countryside. The first official evacuations began on September 1 1939, two days before the declaration of war. Many children in big cities and towns temporarily to safer places usually out in the countryside.The British evacuation began on Friday 1st September 1939. It was called ‘Operation pied piper’.

The kinder transport was an organised rescue effort that took place during the nine month prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. The United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi,Germany,Nazi-occupied Austria,Czechoslovakia and Poland, and the free city of Danzig. The children were placed in British foster homes, hostels, school and farms. Often they were the only members of their families who survived the holocaust. The kinder transport mission unfolded between November 1938 and September 1939, when world war 2 broke out.At the time, the Nazis were in power in Germany - and they were making life unbearable for Jewish people. laws had been made which discriminated against them and many people were being murdered.

A gas mask is a mask to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gasses. Gas player a major role in the First World War, meaning that in 1939 a lot of men carried the horrible memories of a gas attack. Some were blinded by gas, while countless more suffered breathing difficulties throughout the rest of their lives. The terror of gas hung heavy on the public’s consciousness, and with the advent of medium bomber bringing civilian population centres into the line of fire, the government considered the threat of gas to civilian populations to be severe. Bombings of urban centres from the air during the Spanish Civil War - such as the bombing of Guernica, immortalised in paint by Pablo Picasso - showed the dangers that bombers could present to civilians. Coupled with the release of chemical agents, life in Britain could be severely disrupted.

Winston Churchill was a British politician, army officer, and writer. He was Prime Minster of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, when he led Britain to victory in the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. After a sensational rise to prominence in national politics before World war 1, Churchill acquired a reputation for erratic judgment in the war itself and in the decade that followed. Politically suspect in consequence, he, like Adolf Hitler, preferred to be alone.It wasn’t until his response to Adolf Hitler’s challenge brought him to national leadership of a national coalition in 1940.

Child’s opinion on gas masks.

Gas masks were neither easy nor comfortable to wear. The gas-like odour of rubber and disinfectant made many people feel sick. One child wrote: "Although I could breathe in it. I felt as if I couldn't. It didn't seem possible that enough air was coming through the filter. The covering over my face, the cloudy Perspex in front of my eyes, and the overpowering smell of rubber, made me feel slightly panicky, though I still laughed each time I breathed out, and the edges of the mask blew a gentle raspberry against my cheeks. The moment you put it on, the window misted up, blinding you. Our mums were told to rub soap on the inside of the window, to prevent this. It made it harder to see than ever, and you got soap in your eyes. There was a rubber washer under your chin, that flipped up and hit you, every time you breathed in... The bottom of the mask soon filled up with spit, and your face got so hot and sweaty you could have screamed.

After Japan’s surrender in 1945, he became a figurehead with no political power.DescriptionThe attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise preemptive military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service upon the United States against the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. The attack led to the United States' formal entry into World War II the next day.Radioman Karl buzz Boyer could not believe what he was hearing. As he sat in front of his receiver at the naval radio station 6 miles away from pearl harbour in Hawaii on the morning Sunday, December 7 1941, he transcribed a starting message from the marine air base 20 miles to the north east.Why Attack Pearl Harbor? As war was inevitable, Japan's only chance was the element of surprise and to destroy America's navy as quickly as possible. Japan wanted to move into the Dutch East Indies and Malaya to conquer territories that could provide important natural resources such as oil and rubber.

The British government believed that some form of poison gas would be used on the civilian population during the war. The government issued a warning on 3rd September, 1939, that people must go to their nearest air raid shelter during bombing attacks: "If poison gas has been used, you will be warned by means of hand rattles. If you hear hand rattles do not leave your shelter until the poison gas has been cleared away. Hand bells will tell you when there is no longer any danger from poison gas.

It was therefore decided to issue a gas masks to everyone living in Britain. Over 38 million gas masks were distributed to regional centres. Gas masks contained chrysotile (white asbestos) or crocidolite (blue asbestos) in their filters. While the masks were effective in terms of being able to filter out poisonous gases like mustard gas, phosgene or chlorine gas, the filters were in fact very dangerous to humans as it was later discovered that exposure to asbestos could causes asbestosis, pleuritis, and lung cancer, as well as a number of other lethal and incurable diseases.The gas masks were produced by a company in Blackburn and after the war factory workers making the masks started showing abnormally high numbers of deaths from cancer. Tests showed that asbestos fibres can also be inhaled by wearing the masks. However, it was at late as May 2014 that the Health and Safety Executive issued a warning to schools that they should not let children touch or try on gas masks as they contained asbestos. Adult gas masks were black whereas children had 'Micky Mouse' masks with red rubber pieces and bright eye piece rims. There were also gas helmets for babies into which mothers would have to pump air with a bellows. People carried their gas masks in cardboard cases for many months. (4) Neville Chamberlain went on to radio to explain the measures the government was taking: "How horrible, fantastic, incredible, it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing. ved in Bristol: "Elsie remarked that she had spoken to Mr. Fry, the local Councillor and her next-door neighbour, and he had told her in confidence that the first consignment of gas masks due to be delivered the following week would be far from adequate and it was a question of distribution. Whoever got there first would be lucky. Elsie was right about the gas masks, and several weeks later there was a mad panic for these frightful looking things at local school rooms.

World War II officially started on September 1, 1939, and it was the first time that planes were predominantly used for warfare. Air forces from all major participants used planes that were unique to their culture and their advancements in science. It was one of the most innovative times in the history of aviation and modern society is still reaping the benefits of those advancements. These are 10 interesting facts about World War II planes and the people who flew them. After D-Day in June 1944, British forces kept pushing inland in Normandy. After several long days of doing this, many soldiers, understandably, really just wanted to have a beer.Back in England, the Henty and Constable Brewery heard about the men’s wishes and offered them free beer. Volunteers with the Royal Air Force had old fuel tanks steam-cleaned and filled with beer. They then flew them to the men in Normandy. Even though the beer had a funny taste because they were in stored in used fuel tanks, the men were happy to have it.

Tanks are large heavy armoured vehicles that are used for fighting. Tanks move on treads which allow them to travel on almost any surface (except for water) and most tanks have a large cannon which are used to attack vehicles, , buildings and large groups of men. Most tanks also have a smaller machine gun for fighting against troops.

Tanks were first used by the British in World War I by the British, then later in the war by the Germans, French, and the Americans. However, tanks didn't play a big role in combat until World War II.

Tanks were able to cross trench lines quickly, without taking much damage, as usually they were bulletproof. This was very useful as it allowed armies to move forward much more quickly. During the war however anti-tank traps were put in place to make tanks less effective.

Combat
During the beginning of the war, tanks would accompany troops, being used solely as weapons to aid the ground troops.

Towards the end of the war, many tanks were being fitted with radios, allowing them to communicate with one-another and be able to go off on their own or in groups, without the ground troops to guide them. This allowed tanks to move much faster for they were no longer forced to move at the same speed as the walking troops while at war.

They were able to move quicker.

They had more protective armor.

The guns were more powerful.

The tracks were able to move better without getting stuck in places.

And some tanks were even amphibious, which means they could be used from land to sea.
The Sherman tank was the most commonly used American tank in World War II. More than 50,000 Shermans were produced between 1942 and 1945. They were used in all combat theaters—not only by the United States, but also by Great Britain, the Free French, China, and even the Soviet Union.German. Germany and the Soviet Union built the best tanks of World War II. Among WW2 tanks, the series of Panzerkampfwagen (armored fighting vehicles) that spearheaded Hitler's blitzkriegs in Europe and Russia caught the world's attention and convinced other Western nations of the need to match the German standard.
