10. How US/Allies fought back against U-boats
the battle of the atlantic was about trading with great britain. to control the atlantic and the area surrounding GB. so we had to fight germany's submarines. what did we do? we built faster ships to outrun them. and later, we developed radars to detect subs. also, convoys. safety in numbers. cant sink'em all. germany retaliated with their own convoys, "wolf packs".
11. Intelligence gathering--Ultra/Magic
ultra: the brittish intercepting the german code
Magic: USA intercepting japan.
it was just radar stuff. radar provided a means of detecting vessels and aircraft above the surface.
HF/DF: used to locate the sources of enemy radio transmissions such as submarines. (huff duff)
Enigma: system in which germany transferred their information through codes. solving the enigma systen remains one tf the great allied triumphs of WW2. during periods when allied cryptanalysts were unable to solve enigma, u=boats caused great damage to anglo-american commerce.
The Bombe broke the Enigma. no idea how it works; precursor to computers. the bombe was the supercomputer of the day. nowadays? it cant come close to comparing with a cell phone.
12. Operation Barborossa(USSR vs Germany)
hitler had taken over all europe but GB, and they were facing constant bombing, so hitler turned his attention to the east. all his advisors were against it. they asked him why, and he gave them reasons, some of which referred back to his book Mein Kampf.
- lebensraum
- despised the ethnic Slavs ruled by their "Jewish Bolshevik" masters
- wanted ukraine for the farmland
- could use the people as slave labor\
- the defeat of the USSR would further isolate the allies
- wanted the oilfeilds in the Caucasus mountains
- didnt trust stalin- german propaganda showed that stalin was planning to attack germany
- tje western front fighting was over with the exception of GB
So, he had some good reasons. and all looked well until that one winter, when they just died.
