World War 2

Dear Ms. English and class,


My book is called World War 2. It's about World War 2 ( obviously) From the rise of Hitler to the fall of the 3rd Reich on May 8 1945. My first question is why were there so many Lieutenants ( Lt for short) in the U.S Army and Marines? There were 5 , 6 , or 7 Lieutenents
in 1943 ( maybe now too ). The navy even had lots of Lieutenants!

We now change from the U.S to Russia or in 1944, The Soviet Union. My question is why did the Soviets lose so quickly in WWI but held and ended up beating Germany in World War 2! They might have been weaker but in World War 2 the Soviets had hundreds of thousands ( maybe millions ) men. They could have done better in World War 1. The Soviets had the manpower, technology, factorys, and they could lose 500,000 men and more and easily replace them.

Now we go to Germany. This question is why did Germany lose everything? They lost at the battle of Trenton in the 1700's, they lost World War1 and 2 too! They also lost the 1936 olyimpics ( of which Hitler got made at the U.S because a black won the races) . Even a boxer lost to the U.S!

Apparently, Dromed knows a lot about WWII! And that's perfectly okay. We all have the things that we're super-interested in. It's nice to know we have a WWII expert among us! That way, we know another source to go to if we ever need information on it!

Okay . . . here's something to get you thinking about the Soviet Union during WWII, Dromed. Can you think of a reason why they might've been weak in WWI but strong in WWII? Think about how many years were in between them and also about whether or not they learned any lessons from the first World War.

How do you think the world might be different today if Hitler had been victorious in carrying out his plans for Germany?

Excellent thoughts, kiddo!
