DDAY+MAP

[]

They have hats on their heads, not helmets. None of the soliders are carrying weapons either. Locked their own soldiers in a train. Lots of firing in the water They all got shot by planes Why did they shoot the men that jumped off the boat? They finally get their weapons after they're attacked. The nazi's have tanks and lots of weapons, while the soviets only have rifles. They're getting killed in two seconds, why do they think they could win? VICTORY OR DEATH

The Soviets came in with no weapons, not equpied for battle. Then the Nazi's and Soviets attacked eachother, the Soviets were all killed almost instantly.

CCQs

why didn't they just bring stronger weapons with them?

This lead to the German downfall because they ran out of ammo. 6 million russians died in this battle alone. 18 million russians total. over 50 million casualties in WWII. They killed all the German prisioners. (anyone who spoke german)

Japan does war by attacking anyone who they feel is a threat, and they attack first instead of waiting for the other country to make the first move. Dont surrender, don't give up, if you have to give up kill yourself instead. Emperor Hirohito thinks of the idea of samurai. He is a God. It was the American's fault that Japaneese joined the war, because of the prices going up because of our depression.... the Japaneese got mad and we refused because they look different than us. Because we're white and they're not. HE SAID/SHE SAID. Soldiers raise flag over Iwo Jima.

IWO JIMA The US had ariborne attacks on Iwo Jima, but the underground hiding places weren't touched. The japanese waited for the americans to come, tons of marine ships were sent over. On DDAY the entire island was set on fire. The japanese were underground and the US soldiers hardly ever saw a live japanese soldier.

TIME LINE !!!!! Japanese dig and build underground chambers on island. American Navy opens fire The American air forces attack Iwo. "Land the landing force.." American forces pounded Iwo Jima in longest aeral stastained offenseive Americans aboard their transport Japanese looked to the skies. 1945 dday in Iwo many people died US won with inch by inch, will to win; won Iwo Jima. US flag raised.

CCQs - native american was one of the survirors - they talk badly about Iwo Jima - 880 marine ships - a man fell off the ship and they didn't help him up
