One person committed suicide because of World War II was Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator of Germany. He made a pact with his girlfriend Eva Braun that they would both kill themselves in his secret bunker. Also, Rudolf Hess, a pilot for Germany, crash-landed in the British Isles. He landed in a field of a local farmer. The farmer found him and kept him under constant watch. After the war ended, he was in the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi War Crimes, and was found guilty. He was sentenced to life in prison, but he shot himself soon after. The government will officially release information about him in 2017. (You might be able to find this information on WikiLeaks). Many other people who were tried at Nuremberg also killed themselves before they were sentenced.

How meny children got killed in World War 2?

There is no exact figure of how many children were killed around the world in World War 2 because many were not on any census and many were simply obliterated in bombs. I can tell you that more civilians died in the war than military personnel. Many Japanese, Okinawans and other islanders committed suicide and killed the children too.


How did Hitler react when the camps were liberated?

Hitler didn't do much after the liberation. He knew people were after him and decided to kill himself. At least that's what is said. Many doubt that he did commit suicide, they blieve he just hid.


What lesson did the US learn at Saipan?

While a decisive battle in the Pacific for the United States, they did learn just how determined and willing the Japanese were to continue fighting until the very end. On top of that, many of the defeated Japanese forces committed suicide in the caves of the island while many of the native civilians committed suicide as the Marines were advancing to the north of the island after Emperor Hirohito gave an imperial order that encouraged civilians to do so.

What was the Japanese strategy called in which fighter pilots deliberately crashed their planes into enemy ships?

The suicide pilots were known as the kamikaze (Japanese for divine wind). Many of these pilots had no training in using bombs or torpedoes, as armaments and capable combat pilots were in short supply. It was comparatively easier to dive into ships with a plane having only one large explosive.
