On this day we did a blog discussion over the final WWII movie we watched. Here are the different movies people watched:
Saints and Soldiers: A film about a group of American troops in Germany struggling for survival.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: A film about a boy befriending with a Jewish boy in a camp.
Das Boot: A movie about a German submarine fighting in WWII.
Hart's War: A film about a senator's son in a deadly situation in WWII.
The Thin Red Line: A film about the endless battles at Guadalcanal.
Valykrie: A film about an attempt by American soldiers to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
Diary of Anne Frank: A film about a Jewish family hiding from the Gastapo and other Nazi forces.
Wind Talkers: A film about a Native American soldier fighting in WWII.
After this, we started taking notes once again over WWII topics:
Rape of Nanking-Hundreds of thousands of civillians killed, and children and women were raped by the soldiers, then killed them. Chinese still are upset over this historical event.
Quarentine Speech-A speech by Roosevelt about Germany, Japan and Italy to be isolated. He never mentioned these but everyone got the memo.
Appeasement Policy-A policy that prevents war by giving a nation what they want. Great Britain and France used this, but Germany, Japan, and Italy were aided in confidence.
Panay Incident-The first incident involving US and Japan. United States gunboat was sunk. Japan apologized and said they thought it was Chinese.
