If there is a birth certificate, it could have place of birth........birth indexes if you have a name will also give place of birth, including which quarter, the baby was registered. If you have only a name, then it is a hard slog of reading the indexes, until you find a name, date or place, which seems to fit. The US privacy laws are quite good but the Canadian Privacy Act, is inhumane. Try Ancestry.com or the Church of the Latter Day Saints, they have an incredible amount of info. I am researching for my biological Father, who was a Canadian and my Mother was taken care of by the Canadian Red Cross in England but they are not forth-coming with any information. The last e-mail I wrote to them, has not been answered. I would be interested to know how many WW2 war babies are still around. Finding out is difficult but there has to be a way of making changes.
Did Americans fight in Europe before D-Day?
I do know that American pilots did fly for the British during the Battle of Britain (Royal Air force versus Luftwaffe) in the Eagle Squadron. I cannot vouch for the historical accuracy of the name of the fighter unit, but American DID fly for the RAF. this was not officially sanctioned by the US government, but it is believed that members of the US War Dept. were VERY happy US airmen were getting vital combat experience in light of the emerging Japanese threat.
The scenes from Pearl Harbor vis-a-vis the Eagle squadron may have some historical accuracy.
How did the allies strategy to defeat Japan in the Pacific work?
Their strategy was to split the Allied Forces in the Pacific. MacArthur lead forces in the SW Pacific. He was based in Australia. His force went after the Japanese to repel them from the islands. They had to cut off the communications lines of the Japanese by re-taking some of the islands the Japanese occupied near China.
Nimitz led the Naval force that went after islands starting from the Coral Sea and on up to the mainland island of Japan. They began an island hopping campaign to take back American possessions and liberate the islands the Japanese had invaded.
It took them three years to accomplish this because they had to build up the Naval fleet again. The other problem they had was their enemy. The Japanese were very fierce warriors making them difficult to defeat. They were clever too. They would hide underground or fight only at night. The Naval Japanese leaders tricked and trapped the US Naval vessels too.
But the strategy the Allied Forces chose to use did work. They won the war.
What major threat did Germany pose to the Allies?

Leave and leave now. You do not need to put up with any of that. He says he doesn't love you, not attracted to you and had an affair - why would you even entertain the thought of staying with the guy.
I realize it may be difficult to take all this in but let me tell you things do get better and you will find yourself burden free. Hold your head up, get involved in doing things and new activites, spend time with family and friends and don't ever look back. If you think you can't because of stability of sorts there are many community groups that will help a person such as yourself get out, get you prepared & help you with life beyond this man - take advantage of your community supports, as well as any friends and/or family that are willing to help you leave do what is best for yourself - you can do it!!!

What was the total monetary cost of the war to the Allies and the Germans?
The Total Monetary War cost = 1'000'000'000'000$ aproximately, more than 2/3 of that by the Allied side and the other part of money was spended by the Axis, Including Germany.
The Allies knew that Hitler hated the Soviet Union. And that at some point, Hitler would turn on them. This would bring the Soviets into the Allies camp and gain them the one tool they desperately needed, something to wear the Wehrmacht down. The Allies were very loose with their feelings towards anyone who might aid them in this struggle. The same question could be asked about Franco in Spain. He was a dictator and a fascist. But the Allies were willing to deal with him just to insure he stayed out of the Axis camp. So the Allies were willing to overlook actions that would normally have precluded them from ever interacting. The Soviet Union wasn't an ally at the time when it invaded Poland. It only became an ally when attacked by Germany in 1941.

Who were Poland's allies in World War II?
If you are referring to the legitimate Polish government which was in exile from October 1, 1939 to the end of the War in London, UK, then Poland's Allies were primarily the United Kingdom and secondarily the remainder of the Allies.
If you are referring to the puppet government that ruled Poland throughout the War and managed much of the logistics to keep the trains running on time (both military and extermination trains), that country was aligned with the Axis, but is not considered an Axis Power as it was a puppet to the Nazi State.

Just a point of history. The Allies invaded the Italian island of Sicily, first, before they moved onto the Italian main land. This was in August 1943. The invasion of Sicily was on 10 July 1943. By August 17, 1943, the island had been taken by Gen Patton's 7th Army and Gen Montgomery's 8th Army. Sicily and Corsica are part of the country of Italy. The British invaded the "toe" of Italy on 3 September 1943 and the US 5th Army landed at Salerno on 9 September.
