Britain in WW2

First you gotta understand what is Blitzkrieg and what it means

Blitzkrieg means Lighting war

Blitzkrieg was used in campaigns from 1939-1941 where a force concentration of tanks, infantry, artillery, combat engineers and air power, concentrating overwhelming force at high speed to break through enemy lines, and, once the lines are broken, proceeding without regard to its flank. Through constant motion, the blitzkrieg attempts to keep its enemy off-balance, making it difficult to respond effectively at any given point before the front has already moved on.

So the Nazis started and continued the Blitzkrieg because, they knew that strategy was very effective and it worked from Invasion of Poland to Battle of france and eithen during Operation Barberossa (Invasion of the Soviet Union).

June 6, 1944 was the Normandy Invasion. Airborne & Pathfinder troops were parachuted at night into France several hours before the amphibious invasion. Some of these landed before midnight on June 5, 1944. The most common answer is June 6, 1944, the day the invasion started.

An RAF pilot IS a member of the British Armed Forces serving in the Royal Air Force (RAF) with the duty and responsibility for flying military aircraft.

The Prime minisister of Britain, Neville Chamberlain, was succeeded by Sir Winston Churchill aged 65 in 1940. The President of the Soviet Union was Joseph Stalin, probably the most powerful and murderous dictator in history.

Britain imports much of its food and raw material. During WW2, Nazi Germany had a policy of trying to starve Britain into submission. The Americans and Canadians were sending shiploads of supplies to the UK and the Germans were torpedoing those ships laden with supplies. Without control of the Atlantic, the British people would have starved to death.

Most Americans were in sympathy with Britain, especially for the period when Britain stood alone against the might of the Nazi juggernaut. Only a few members of the German-American Bund sided with Germany. Most favored neutrality or isolationism.

There were a number of very useful small craft. The US had PT boats, for "Patrol Torpedo". These were usually about 80 feet long, with a crew of about twelve, and usually had four torpedo launchers, with which they could sink very large enemy warships. They were completely unarmored, made of wood, but very fast. John Kennedy commanded a PT boat, until he was run over by a Japanaese destroyer, which cut his boat in two. Other navies had similar boats, such as the German E-boats.

Even smaller were "midget" submarines, also used by several navies. Five Japanese midget submarines took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Perhaps the smallest "vessel" with an offensive punch were submersible sea sleds used by the British. Two frogmen rode on the top of these very weakly powered craft, after being released from a parent submarine, which brought them to the vicinity of the target. They tried to maneuver under the target and release a one-ton explosive charge onto the bottom below the intended target. This charge had a timing fuse, allowing for the getaway. In a very famous episode of the war, and I believe their only real mission, five of these were used to attack the massive German battleship Tirpitz, where it was holed up in a Norwegian fjord. The Tirpitz, an identical twin of the Bismark, was very badly damaged by the attack, and in fact sank, but was anchored in such shallow water that she only settled a few feet onto the bottom, and this was not apparent to subsequent aerial reconnaissance photography.

When? If you are referring to World War II, the whole war was a series of major battles. Two of the battles were the Battle of the Bulge and the battle for Stalingrad but there were many, many more of equal importance.

I am very passionate about spitfires, so this is my type of question! The spitfire is one of the most well known of the planes, and certainly one of Britain's greatest war planes.

Children were evacuated in the war because they people thought they would be safer evacuated than in their city home. And in advance the people also thought that if they was another war then there would be plenty of men to fight. Think of it as ' Preserving children for the future '

In Europe no new nations were created unless you consider east Germany / west Germany a new creation. Otherwise some nations disappeared into the Russian empire - Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. Otherwise borders did change, mainly with Russia shifting west and forcing all those before her to move their people west too.

Asia changed quite a lot more than Europe. Korea was created. Indonesia became independent almost immediately. The English colony, India, broke apart into West Pakistan, East Pakistan, Ceylon, Burma, and India proper and all were made independent. China divided into mainland China and Taiwan. The Philippines were granted independence from the American empire.

Later, the French would give up on their colony, Indochina, and that would create three new nations - Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

Within a couple decades, the economic and military ruin of Britain and France would be manifested in the explosion of newly independent African nations - too numerous to mention here.

The attack on Normandy Beach and all the other beaches affected the outcome, because Normandy was another way to get in to Europe and the allies needed another way in. After D-Day Germany had to take troops from the Eastern and send them to the West and although the soviets probably would have won it would have lasted a lot longer 3-5 years even.

The Royal Navy helps the nation via the Ministry of Defence, in wars throughout the world, protecting Britain's seaways and the seaways of her colonies from attacks....

First, I edited the above quite heavily because its English was so poor.

"Colonies" - historically yes, but not now! Britain is the head of her Commonwealth of independent nations that were once colonies, but have not been so for many decades.

ALSO is active in NATO and other international organisations, and helps in disaster relief and against piracy and drug-running (much of the last, in co-operation with such as the US Coastguard).

The rush-Bagot agreement

It started on September 7, 1940. See the related links below for details about the Blitz.

it won`t tell you on wiki answers you will have to search it on the internet then it will tell you hope it helps

Children got evacuated in the world war 2 for their safety and education. That was answered by another person well NO ! it's wrong . Yes they got away for there safety and educatiob but ... It says when ?!

They got evacuated just before the war had started - 1st Sep 1939 .

Some travelled with teachers , or walked miles or wen't on a carrige or in a old car .

They new war was coming a year before it had even began because German troops had lost !! :D

the Hindenburg was a blimp before ww2 so they did exist however they would of not seen that much combat time considering there were more efficient means of combat
