What did the Germans do in World War 2?

Answer 1

Hitler (the nazi leader) tried to take over the world starting with europe and at the time Hitler also sent nazi soldiers to kill jews. But they lost the war against the allies (soviet union).

I think there was a very brutal war going on between the Germans and the Jewish.
Germany was taken over by the Nazis. They also killed 6 million Jews and 5 million other people in concentration camps. The Germans devoted themselves to Hitler and he betrayed them with his brutal, evil acts. They lost many of their sons, brothers, fathers and uncles in Hitler's warring. The Allied Forces did aerial bombing over much of Germany. The country was pretty much in rubble ruins. The people lost their homes, jobs and food. They were starving and homeless by the time the Allied Forces entered Germany. The German people were made to see the concentration camps and learn the truth about Hitler. The Allied Forces occupied Germany. The Allied forces helped to remove all the rubble, feed the people and provide temporary housing (like tents). Many Jews who did survive took many months to heal from the effects of starvation and disease. When they were able to relocate most of them went to the United States and Israel. The German people took a long time to get over their affection for Hitler and their feelings of betrayal. They had to learn how to be democratic and free.

YOUR QUESTION IS VERY BROAD SO I WILL TRY NOT TO GET TOO SPECIFIC. WHEN HITLER CAME INTO POWER IN THE 30'S THE GERMAN PEOPLE LOVED WHAT HE BROUGHT. THAY WERE VERY POOR AND WERE STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE BURDENS OF REPARATIONS FROM THE LOSS OF WWI. HE JUMPSTARTED INDUSTRY AND GAVE PEOPLE JOBS AND RESTORED NATIONAL PRIDE. IN THE LATE 30'S HIS THRIST FOR POWER STARTED TO MAKE PEOPLE NERVOUS BUT THE NAZI PARTY WAS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY OTHER AND MOST PEOPLE JUST KEPT THEIR MOUTH SHUT. SOME PEOPLE REALLY RALLIED AROUND HITLER AND FOLLOWED HIM UNTIL THE END AND SOME JUST WANTED TO RIDE IT OUT. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR THE GERMANS ENJOYED NORMAL LIFE AT HOME. THEY PRODUCED ENOUGH MATERIALS FOR THE MILITARY AND THE PEOPLE BOTH. BUT AS THE WAR WENT ON AND THE ALLIED BOMBERS BECAME MORE SUCCESSFUL, THE SHORTAGE OF FOOD AND MATERIAL GREW. AT THE END OF THE WAR THE GERMANS WANTED TO GET TO THE WEST SIDE OF GERMANY TO SURRENDER TO THE ALLIES. THE RUSSIANS HAD LOST 20 MILLION PEOPLE AGAINST GERMANY IN THE WAR AND WERE NOT VERY FRIENDLY VICTORS. AS THE WAR CAME TO A CLOSE GERMANY WAS IN TURMOIL. BERLIN WAS IN RUBBLE AND MOST INDUSTRIAL SITES HAD BEEN BADLY DAMAGED. AS THE US AND BRITAIN JOCKEYED TO KEEP THE BALANCE OF POWER AWAY FROM Russia, THE GERMAN PEOPLE JUST WANTED TO GET THEIR LIVES BACK. MOST WERE HUNGRY AND HAD NO JOBS. THE BLACK MARKETS FOR THINGS LIKE VEGETABLES WERE PREVALENT. IN CONCLUSION, GERMANY WENT THROUGH MANY PHASES IN WWII. STARTING WITH SOME EXCITEMENT AND GOING TO TERRIBLE TIMES. IF I CAN ANSWER ANY POINTED QUESTIONS PLEASE email ME AT CELL1@BARTNET.NET During world war two millions of Jews were killed some work them to death while others were put into gas chambers and drowned with out being in water. The only thing Jews were fed was 2 slices of bread and a bowl of soup. The Jews were shipped to the concentration camps in cattle cars and many of them didn't survive the trip there. When they got to the camps they were separated in two group people who could work and those who couldn't, people who couldn?t work were seen as useless these were kid and people with handicaps they were the first to go to the gas chamber and killed. Their close where old clothes that they just pulled off dead body and given to them so the clothes were more important the people. Twins were treated terribly to the Nazis would cut of one twins finger and see if the other twin could feel the same pain and this is how a lot of Jews died too.

Answer 3

Well, what Germans did in World War II started before 1939. Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933. His anti-Semite (anti-Jew policies) started not much afterwards. In 1936 he put troops in a demilitarized zone between France and Germany called the Rhineland. The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Germany would not be allowed to put troops there as a protection from German invasion for France, one of Germany's opponents in WWI. In 1938, Hitler got a little more thirsty for land and sought to unify all the Germans in Europe so he annexed Austria and was able to negotiate a deal to be able to take over the Sudetenland, a German-speaking part of Czechoslovakia.

However, Germany started getting too greedy for France and Britain's liking and invaded Poland which dragged them into war against Germany. Hitler was able to conquer much of Europe in that time including France, Belgium, and Finland. Nevertheless, the Soviet Union joined the war in 1940 after Germany broke their truce and the United States joined the war in 1941 after it was bombed by Japan. The tide of the war turned when the Germans lost the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942, their first loss of the war.

To say that Hitler wanted to take over the world is a little far-fetched, I think he knew that he didn't have the resources to do that, but he did want to take over a good chunk of Europe. Hitler wouldn't have wanted to take take Spain, Portugal, or Italy as they had fascist governments installed in those nations, and he saw Britain as an ethnic equal so we wouldn't want Britain either. But, he saw the rest of Europe as inferior to him and would've wanted to take control.

As far as Jewish eradication was concerned, the Allied forces didn't have a full grasp of what was going on in concentration camps and death camps until after the war was over. Not even the average German knew about the death camps because most of the death camps were located outside of Germany. But this was Hitler's main goal: to cleanse Europe of all of its Jews.

Answer 4

The Germans were killing the Jews because the Germans thought the Jews were superior against all other nations and Hitler hired Brown Shirts and Black Shirts. And that was his army. The Brown and Black Shirts were kids in their teen age and agreed to work for Hitler.

Answer 5

Before the war and at the beginning of the war Berliners enjoyed a good life with plenty of food, cultural events, good clothes and new cars. They had new jobs with new places to live because Hitler stopped paying the reparation payments of the Versailles Treaty allowing the people to have money again. The city was pretty with great architecture and long history.

Once the Allied Forces began carpet bombing Berlin the story was different. Many Berliners fled the city to rural area home while others stayed to suffer. The bombing went on for many months. By the time the Allied Forces stopped the bombing the city was fairly leveled with few building fully intact. The roads were covered with rubble, people were roamed around looking for food or a place to stay. The beautiful Berlin was gone.

After the war the city was split: East Berlin became part of the Soviet Union controlled West Germany.

West Berlin went to the free, democratic West Germany. West Berlin flourished whereas East Berlin did not do as well.

Answer 6

Germany was the main belligerent of the 2nd World War, as they attempted to conquer all of Europe, and eventually, the world.

They failed miserably, however.
