A Soldier's Experience

World War II:

September 21, 1943Dear Mom,I just arrived at Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois. This place has been open since July 1, 1911, training sailors to be part of the greatest naval military force in the world.Things are a lot different here than they were in high school. My commanding officer (CO) keeps telling me I'm too small to make it in the Navy, but I'm determined to prove him wrong. After all, how big do you need to be to operate a radio?I thought I'd be learning a bunch of Morse code, and I am. But my CO says a radio operator also needs to learn a lot about the leaders involved in this war. It looks like tomorrow is when we do that. I have to report to the training room at 0600 sharp, so I had better be getting to bed. I'll keep you updated as things happen. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.I love you, Mom.-Richard

January 28, 1944Dear Mom,Guess what? I made it! I am now officially a radio operator in the 6th Beach Batallion!I've been stationed in Camp Bradford, Virginia for the past few months while undergoing amphibious training with my battalion. They're saying we'll be one of the first groups of people to go in during an invasion.Tomorrow, we sail for England. Word around camp is that we're getting ready for something big. I'm not quite sure what just yet, but whatever it is, we'll be ready when it happens. Please don't worry about me, though I know you probably can't help it.It's going to be a long trip across the Atlantic. Thankfully, my CO gave us a bunch of newspapers to help us get caught up on what has happened so far in Europe. We leave bright and early tomorrow, so I guess I'll just say I love you and you'll be hearing from me soon.-Richard

Appeasement, the foreign policy of pacifying an aggrieved country through negotiation in order to prevent war. Britain allowed Italy to invade Ethiopia in 1935 and took no action when Germany absorbed Austria in 1938, a political union known as Anschluss. When Hitler prepared to annex ethnically German portions of Czechoslovakia, Chamberlain negotiated the notorious Munich Agreement, which permitted German annexation of the Sudetenland, in western Czechoslovakia. Unfortunately, the deal was off when Germany invaded Poland.

The siege of Leningrad ended after 872 days and claimed 650,000 Leningrader lives in 1942 alone, mostly from starvation, exposure, disease, and shelling from distant German artillery. Soviet offensives in early 1943 ruptured the German encirclement and allowed more copious supplies to reach Leningrad along the shores of Lake Ladoga. In January 1944 a successful Soviet offensive drove the Germans westward from the city’s outskirts, ending the siege.

Later that evening, you run into one of the senior officers on the deck of the ship. He engages you in conversation about the war. You're eager to impress him, so it's a good thing you read those newspapers earlier!For each of the officer's statements/questions, choose the most intelligent response.

Agreed, sir. Appeasement is a smart way to manage an aggressive foreign power.

Agreed, sir. You have to stand up to a bully, otherwise he'll never go away.

Agreed, sir. That was very brave of him.

Choose Your Response

I can't believe Chamberlain chose to appease Hitler.

Umm, I think I need to go do some more reading, sir.

What are you talking about, sailor? Do you even know what appeasement is?

Correct!

Agreed, sir. You have to stand up to a bully, otherwise he'll never go away.

I can't believe Chamberlain chose to appease Hitler.

GO BACK

Sir, I feel like it was the only way to protect Poland from invasion by the Germans. If I were Chamberlain, I would have done the same.

Sir, I would have declared war after the Anschluss with Austria. I definitely would not have let Germany annex the Sudetenland on top of that!

Sir, I think it was a poor decision because it allowed Germany to create an Anschluss with Austria.

Speaking of Chamberlain, what do you think of the Munich Agreement?

You don't seem to have your facts straight, sailor. Have you paid attention to what's been going on these past few years?

Sir, I would have declared war after the Anschluss with Austria. I definitely would not have let Germany annex the Sudetenland on top of that!

Speaking of Chamberlain, what do you think of the Munich Agreement?

GO BACK

I believe it's "gestapo", sir.

I believe it's "volksgemeinschaft", sir.

I believe it's "lebensraum", sir.

...and what's that word Hitler keeps using to describe the additional living space Germans need?? My German is horrible.

Sir, I like the technique, since it utilizes naval forces to overcome land-based defense installations.

Sir, it's a formidable way to attack, since it tends to shock and surprise the enemy forces.

Sir, it's an effective way to retreat, since it limits casualties along the front lines.

GO BACK

June 1, 1944Dear Mom,I think I've been doing a good job impressing my senior officers so far. They've stopped talking about how small I am and seem to be focusing more on the strengths I've shown.We've spent the past few months practicing maneuvers involving beach assaults and landings, and today's the day we board an attack transport. I can't tell you the details about what's coming in the next few days, but you'll probably hear about it in the news. It's going to be big.I'm scared, Mom. So is everyone else, but a lot of guys aren't admitting it. I'm confident I'm going to be okay, though. I know I have received the best possible training and am part of a superior military force. So please don't worry.I love you, Mom. Please tell the rest of the family I love them too.-Richard

D-Day Invasion

Click on the Buttons for more Info

d-day invasion

The Normandy landings, codenamed Operation Neptune, was the military operation carried out by the Allies during World War II which culminated in the liberation of Western European territories occupied by Nazi Germany. The operation began on 6th June 1944, better known as D-Day, with the Allied invasion of 50km of the Normandy coast.

NORMANDY

1944

D-DAY

d-day invasion

It is the morning of June 6, 1944. You have boarded a transport ship and are en route to Omaha Beach as part of Operation Neptune.Your batallion has been assigned to sector Dog Green in the first wave of landings. The document to the left provides a panoramic sketch of this section of beach.

GO BACK

d-day invasion

You are loaded up with radio equipment, generators, code books, and an antenna.Your objective is to exit the transport, reach the beach, take up a strategic position in a sheltered position near the bluffs, and set up communications for the fleet.Are you ready?

Objective

The bombers had missed their targets due to bad weather

The bombers had been called off at the last minute

The bombers had been shot down by Germain anti-aircraft batteries

The transport boats approach the beach to a hail of heavy gunfire. Air support was supposed to have cleared the way for your arrival, but something has gone wrong. What happened?

TRY AGAIN

WRONG

Objective

They had mistakenly landed in other sectors of the beach

They had been destroyed by German bombers

They had sunk due to the high waves

You notice there are only two amphibious Sherman tanks providing support. What happened to the rest of them?

Objective

Join the other group, forming an "ad hoc" unit

Stick to the original plan and continue advancing with the remainder of your battalion

As you reach the beach, you see heavy casualties have already been suffered, some from your own battalion. Another soldier screams for you to come assist him and another group. This wasn't part of the original plan. What do you do?

Objective

80%

75%

50%

20%

It's 0900. You've been advancing your position painfully slowly while avoiding deadly machine gun fire for over two hours. The battlefield is littered with fallen soldiers and sailors. What is the percentage of casualties at this point?

Objective

Soldiers break through an unprotected gap between two German strong points

The Germans start to retreat

Air bombers destroy several of the German strongholds lining the beach

From your position, you can see the very first breakthrough in this battle as it occurs. What is it?

Objective

German commanders call for a retreat

Bombers finally strike their targets

Support from naval destroyers and tanks

What finally makes the German defenses fade?

Objective

After an impossibly hard day of fighting, you have finally reached your objective and are able to successfully set up communications from the beach.

You are sent home on leave in January of 1945. While listening to the radio at home, you hear about two major Allied attacks: one in Germany, and one in Japan. Soon after comes victory in Europe. You've learned by now that it's important for a radio operator to be well-informed, so you pay very close attention, sometimes even testing your own recall of the information.

Not long after, you return to England, where you continue relaying radio communications to and from the battlefront. In December, you're in the radio room during the Battle of the Bulge, when Hitler launches one last unsuccessful counteroffensive against Allied forces.

As Allied forces continue to move farther inland, your comms equipment keeps you up to date on what they encounter. You and your fellow sailors celebrate in jubilation when you hear of the liberation of Paris in August 1944.

You and the remainder of your battalion remain there in that same spot on the beach for the duration of the time you spend in France, relaying messages to and from ships operating in the English Channel for several weeks.

May 30, 1945Dear Mom,It was so good to see everyone during my leave. What a treat to get to spend so much time at home! I miss you, but I'm also glad to get back to work. I think I'm allowed to tell you that I've been training stateside at a base in Oceanside, California. I' just got orders to ship out. I know I'm not allowed to say where I'm going next.My CO hasn't said anything about me being too small. Your campaign to make me gain weight by eatting two desserts a day was successful! You must have saved a year's worth of sugar vouchers to be able to make all those cakes. I can hardly remember how it was before the war when we were able to buy as much of something as we wanted. I'll write again soon. I know you've been worrying more than ever since I participated in the Normandy Invasion. Try not to, Mom. Now that I've done that, I know I can do hard things. I'm going to be okay.I love you.-Richard

August 16, 1945Dear Mom,I know you've probably been worried sick listening to the news. I'm sorry. I wrote as soon as they would let me. I'm okay. I've been stationed in Guam for the past three months and was nowhere near Japan when the bombs dropped.I was sent to the war zone in Okinawa back in April. It was pretty intense, but I made it through. After about a month in Japan, I was shipped here to Guam and have been here ever since.By now, you've probably heard the news that Japan has surrendered. Being a radio operator, I heard the news firsthand. We've thrown out the code books and are back to communicating in plain English again! I can't believe I'm actually writing this, but the war is over. I'm coming home. I love you, and I'll see you soon.-Richard
