HITLER! BLITZ! All about WW2! AND LOTS MORE! EVACUEES!
BLITZ! • In the summer of 1940, Hitler decided to invade Britain. His plan was to take control of the English Channel by destroying the Royal Air force and then to send German troops into Britain to take control. • In July 1940, Hitler put his plan into operation. The German air force (Luftwaffe) began making daily bombing raids on British ships, ports, radar stations, airfields and aircraft factories. This became known as the Battle of Britain.
EVACUEES! • Children were evacuated to the country side for their safety during the war .More than 1 million children were evacuated.Most children were sent to locations by train. • The first four days of September 1939 nearly 3 million children were transported from towns and cities in danger from enemy bombers to a place of safety .
HITLER! .Hitler's middle name was Elizabeth. .Hitler was born on 20th of April 1889. . Hitler was head of the Nazi Party during World War 2.
AIR RAIDS! When the Luftwaffe approached the British coast during the Second World War local Air Raid Wardens arranged for the sounding of sirens. People were now expected to immediately take cover before the raid actually started. Another siren was played to announce that it was safe to leave the air raid shelters. People doing important war work were instructed to ignore the first siren that told them that enemy aircraft were approaching. Instead they could only go to their shelters when the second siren was sounded that indicated that the Luftwaffe were immediately overhead.
SAFETY! GAS MASK. Everyone in Britain was given a gas mask in a card board box to protect them from gas bombs . ANDERSON SHELTER. A Anderson shelter was used as a protection for the family in case of any unexpected bombs by Hitler .
BLACK OUT! At night, everywhere was in a blackout. You didn’t dare put a light on and if you did the air raid wardens would have rapped on your door and shouted, “Put that light out!” The air raids wardens were volunteers and they wore tin hats. They made sure everyone had dark curtains and no lights were showing from the houses
RATIONING! RATION BOOK. A ration book was used for people during the war to get little supplies of food they would get :- Meat = 4oz per week. Butter = 4oz per week. Milk = 3 oz per week . Sweets = 3oz per week .
NURSES IN THE WAR ! In reclaiming women's history, their contribution during World War II is frequently overlooked. Here are the statistics in this area: More than 100 military nurses were captured when Bataan and Corregidor fell to the Japanese in 1942. Sixty-six Army Nurses and eleven Navy Nurses remained in a Japanese concentration camp for 37 months, more than three years! Sixteen hundred Army Nurses and 565 WACS received combat decorations, including the Distinguished Service Medals, Silver Stars, Bronze Stars, Air Medals, Legions of Merit, Commendation Medals, and Purple Hearts.
