German Contributions To Ww2

There are many different factors attributed to Germany’s early success during the Second World War. While some factors were more significant to the German’s success, there is no debating that all of them contributed to the German’s attacking and conquering of Europe. It took quite a while for the Germans to begin to have trouble winning battles. The early success of Germany from 1939 to 1941 was due to Western Europe being afraid to have another World War, America’s lack of initial intervention, the Blitzkrieg, and Adolf Hitler’s intelligent militaristic strategy.

Adolf Hitler was one of the most influential people in the interwar era. His actions during the interwar era caused World War II, which had enormous impacts on almost every country in the world. There are three reasons why he gained so much influence in Germany. First of all people were disappointed in the current German government and wanted a change. Secondly, Hitler and his Nazi party were similar in ideology to the majority of people and finally he was a great orator who used his similarity to the rest of the German people to help his party grow and to help himself become dictator.

World War II plays a very important part in the history of the world. It still has effects that we deal with today. So, what events could have possibly started such a monumental world war? Well, the events are: World War I, Great Depression, expansion of imperialism, Versailles Treaty, and the rise of Germany. This was a dangerous chain reaction of events that lead to the devastating effects of the war.

Canadian troops were tasked to capture the important Vimy Ridge. The Canadian Army bombarded the German positions with countless artilleries and it became a week of suffering for the Germans. This artillery bombardment had helped Canada develop a successful way to defeat Germany. As a result, Germans faced devastating effects, due to the constant firing by the Canadians. The German soldiers had little chance to succeed against the artillery as transportation and communications were destroyed, stopping supplies such as food, medication etc., ammunition and new troops from reaching the front line because of the endless

Tremendous crowds of men, women and children cheer and wave at the sight of a small plane landing. Beautiful buildings are seen from above along with a congregation of German soldiers. All of these positive images are in support of Adolf Hitler arriving in Germany in the 1935 film Triumph des Willens. This was only one of the millions of sources of propaganda that the United States was going up against in joining World War II six years later. The Nazi party was in power, Europe was in a state of distress, and soon the whole world would be involved in a war that would devastate mankind for generations to come. The Second World War consisted of the Axis Powers: Germany, Italy, and Japan; and the Allied Powers: France, Britain, and Russia. America would join the Allies on December 7, 1941 after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Not only was this war fought among the many soldiers that gave their lives for their country; there was a subtle fight among the government controlled moviemakers and poster designers. These men and women played an important role in portraying their enemies and the war in a way that would stick in their fellow citizens’ heads to bring some type of unity for the nation. These psychological soldiers promoted patriotism through propaganda to sway the people of their country. Propaganda is defined as, “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one 's cause or to damage an opposing cause.” All of the participants in the war used it. Despite

The capture of Ortona, known to those who fought it as the “Italian Stalingrad”, is considered among Canada’s greatest victories during the war. That’s why Battle of Ortona is important for

Donald Graves’ article “To Take Ortona” states, “The army 's commander, Maj. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, wanted the Canadian army to fight as a unified force under Canadian command, rather than dispersed unit by unit under the command of British generals...The task of taking the town was assigned to the 1st Canadian Infantry Division.” The Battle of Ortona was assigned to be solely for the Canadian military run by Canadian generals. Because Ortona was heavily fortified, the Canadians, as with any opposing Allied army, had a tough battle to begin with. The Canadian military did what they were assigned to do and, through newly created military strategies, captured the city. The Battle of Ortona further demonstrated the sheer tenacity of the Canadian army, as well as their refusal to back out of any challenge. The Canadians proved to be a great aid to the Allied forces and, once again, proved they were not a country to be underestimated.

The allies rushed the beaches with all of these countries including Canada. After the day was over the rest of the allies gained most of the strong points and moved inland to Paris which, in the long run, was what really ended the war. The ships began so early in the morning and at such a fast pace that the Germans were surprised and also outnumbered in seconds. As a result, the allies quickly had the upper hand, however, at an advantage what the allies didn’t know was that Hitler was thinking it was a diversion for something else and did not send backup. Who knows...what would have happened if Hitler had sent backup on that day, nevertheless, we won, still... what would have happen? Would we have been defeated? Would we be living like we are living

Canada’s first contribution to the war was a division, only after heavy political pressure forced their hand. In the two years following five divisions totaled overseas. In April of 1942 the First Canadian army was established under, General A.G.L. McNaughton, a Canadian General. Canada did not see any initial involvement in the first few years, and McNaughton wished to keep it that way. He wished to use Canada’s army for a final decisive battle. However, the Canadian government and Britain had other plans, engaging Canada in a joint attack on Sicily. Although the command of the Canadian army was left in the hands of a Canadian, it was clear the decisions were not coming from Canada, but Britain. Britain still influenced much of Canada’s decision

Although Russians and Germans were on opposing sides of World War II, they experienced a great deal of situations that were similar if not the same. Their emotions and reactions were comparable during this depressing time of war. Physical responses to the rigorous journeys, emotional responses to the horrific events that occurred and the overall circumstances that these men were, majority of the time, forced into; forever changed who they were. With mechanized weapons ringing in their ears and nationalism in their hearts the war was not easily forgotten by these men.

Germany, a country rich in culture and heritage, yet plagued by the fallout of World War I and World War II, has progressed to become the centerpiece of the European Union and the world’s third richest economy. The first German Empire dates back to the Roman Empire starting in the 8th century AD. During the Middle Ages the German Empire fended off many attacks against their soil from the Hungarians and the Slavs. Fighting and power struggles continued until the 1400’s, when the modern world gradually came into existence with intellectual, economic and political changes.

The defeat of Germany in World War Two was due to many factors. All of these factors were influenced by the leadership and judgment of Adolf Hitler. Factors such as the stand fast policy, Hitler’s unnecessary and risky decision making in military situations, for example when attacking the USSR, and the declaration of war on the US. Plus other factors, like Hitler’s alliance with Italy, despite its obvious weaknesses, and the pursuit of the final solution, can all be attributed to the poor leadership and judgement of the Fuhrer, which would eventually lead to the downfall of the Third Reich.
