Today we did more notes on the powerpoint. Then we went over a few battles/sieges of WWII. Then Bruns was saying why Wikipedia is so much better than the Encyclopedia books.
Battle of the Atlantic:
-speed helps escape the Uboats, submarines
-France and US had Uboat detecting systems
-the convoy system was very effective, the merchant ships were in the middle surrounded by military ships
-RADAR detected things above water
-HF/DF detected things under water
-ULTRA is German code, MAGIC is Japanese code
-We won WWII because we had their 'playbook' they didnt have ours
Europe in Summer 1941:
-Finland became Axis power
-Operation of Barbarossa-greatest land war recorded in history began at 3:30 a.m. on June 22, 1941
-main front eventually expanded 1490 miles and extended to a depth of 600 miles
Battle of Stalingrad:
-DO NOT RETREAT OR YOU WILL BE SHOT!!!
