there were 2 prime ministers in the war-Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister (and the first) of Great Britain in September 1939 at the start of World War II. In May 1940, after the disastrous Norwegian campaign, Chamberlain resigned and Winston Churchill became prime minister.
The bombing of Pearl Harbour, on december 7th 1941. (Because japan were part of the axis force with italy and germany. They wanted the all powerful america out of the war)
D- day was june 6th 1944 when the combined allied forces landed in Normandy to start taking Europe back from Adolf and the Nazis.
Germany, Japan and Italy were against us
France, America and China were allies.
Switzerland and spain were neutral.
Concentration camps were where Jews were forced to work, usually digging, starved and beaten. When they were to weak to do anything, they were either taken and gassed, or forced to dig their own graves, then shot. (note: mass graves were also common)
Under Hitlers leadership, the Nazis sought to make Germany the most powerful empire in the world and exterminate all they viewed as inferior. In pursuit of this, he ordered the extermination of over 11 million people, the majority of them Jewish, but also including Roman Catholics, Roma (gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, the physically and mentally handicapped, and any others who did not meet Hitler's standards for "racial purity." The mass murder is also know as Holocaust.
ADOLF HITLER
He served in the first world war.
He was awarded iron croos first class

He wrote mine kamf (my struggle)in prison
1933 chancellor of germany
when Hindunburg died, he combined the offices of president and chancellor.
1939 ww2 starts as he invades Poland.
His own gernerals tried to assasinate him on the 20th of july.
He was very cruel- when he realised they were plotting against him, he had them, their familys and friends hung with piano wire- it took them 20 minutes to die as the piano strings bit into their necks. After, Hitler was sent a video of them (to make sure they were dead).
When Germany was going to loose, he went into a bunker with his wife Ava Braun (his mistress/girlfriend). He shot himself in the head with a pistol and bit on a poison cap while she poisoned herself.
He didnt trust the SS near the end of the war. So his poison (that he killed himself with) he tested on his German Shepard, Blondie and her pups, first.
