Matthew Fear Ms. Williams English 1—S1 18 April 2016 The Unknown of D-Day June 6th, 1944 will be a day forever remembered in history as the beginning of the end for Nazi Control in Western Europe. D-Day, otherwise known as Operation Overlord, was a combined effort of allied forces consisting of Americans, British, Belgium, Canadian, French, Danish, and Norwegian military branches to free Europe from notorious German control. Many questions involving D-Day have yet to be answered, such as the

Fela Bernstein was a teenager when she was liberated by the British on April 15, 1945 from the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. This was the first camp this particular British unit had found. In Ben Shephard’s book The Long Road Home: The Aftermath of The Second World War, he tells that one British officer wrote of Belsen after his arrival there, “I have never seen so many criminal-looking faces bundled together as I did at Belsen.” Bernstein remembers the jubilation felt by those in the camp

“Someday, somehow, I am going to do something useful, something for people. They are, most of them, so helpless, so hurt and so unhappy” (qtd in,l 1). Edith Cavell certainly kept her word, because by the end of World War One, she had saved hundreds of lives and had achieved many other accomplishments, changing the course of the war.

“Damn the Dardanelles! They will be our grave!” So said Admiral Fisher, the Commander of the Royal Navy in a letter to Winston Churchill on April 5th, 1915. Fisher’s impassioned statement was to prove itself chillingly accurate in the disastrous military operation that followed. Following the Great War many military thinkers attempted to refine the principles of warfare to avoid the horrors of trench warfare, and military disasters such as the Gallipoli campaign. One of these thinkers was British

Given consideration that the film was made in early sixties these things are easily forgiven. The movie did a very good job in focusing on Omaha beach where the allies had encountered most resistance. It was the most restricted and heavily defended of all beaches. The Allies had assigned one veteran division to this beach. Germans were fighting furiously to defend the beach, and the invasion of Omaha was very close to failure, but due to grate leadership, the Allis

involved more than 100 million people from 30 different countries all around the world. Was Canada’s role in the Allied war effort significant or not? I believe it was because Canada made a lot of sacrifices and showed a lot of commitment to their Allies to help with the war effort in many different ways and made a difference. My 3 arguments used to prove my point are economic factors, technological factors, and military factors. My first key argument to defend my thesis is economic factors. Canada

Following their success in North Africa, the Allied decision to invade Sicily was an appropriate next step towards defeating Axis powers. Operation HUSKY, the first phase of the Italian campaign, supported the Allied strategic goals of opening Mediterranean shipping lanes, diverting German forces off of the Eastern front and encouraging Italy to exit the Axis.
