    Why Is The Devil's Brigade An Important Part Of World War II?

    The Devils Brigade was an important part of World War II because, during that time they were known to complete almost impossible missions that other units could not.

Even just twenty five years after the disbandment of the Force, there was a movie dedicated towards the unit, and later on many documentaries and books were written about their services in World War II. The Devil’s Brigade, being the 1st Special Service Force, set up the foundation for all future Special Forces throughout the world.…

    HOW IMPORTANT WERE THE CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY OVER THE COURSE OF WORLD WAR ONE?

    WHEN ATTACKS WERE ORDERED, allied soldiers went ‘over the top’, climbing out of their trenches and crossing no man’s-land to reach the enemy trenches. They had to cut through belts of barbed wire before they could use rifles, bayonets, pistols, and hand grenades to capture enemy positions. A victory usually meant they had seized only a few hundred yards of shell-torn earth at a terrible cost in lives. Wounded men often lay helpless in the open until they died. Those lucky enough to be rescued still faced horrible sanitary conditions before they could be taken to proper medical facilities.…

    World War II DBQ

    In the early 1920s, as World War I ended, nations looked for peace as an outlet and hope for the future. As time passed, most countries were happy that the Great War had ended, however they were upset with the outcome. Since there were many costly expenses from the war, it caused many of the hostile nations to look for strong rulers for change. This allowed many harsh dictators to rise to power. These dictators were aggressive rulers and took forceful actions. In order to combat these aggressive rulers, other nations tried to resist war and give in to their demands. This type of action was known as appeasement. Not all countries felt the same way about this response; other countries believed that a collective security would work better.…

    Secret Services During WWII

    Secret agents were a crucial factor in the helping of saving millions of lives in World War II. Spies, spy networks, secret organizations, resistance groups, and just everyday non-Jews who worked in secret to preserve the lives of Jews and other innocent victims. The secret organizations and networks in World War II were complex and there were many varieties when it came to spies and secret networks. For example, the spies during WWII were, in a lot of cases, female. Some female spies led ‘underground railroads,’ moved constantly to obtain valuable information from other agents everywhere, and even took over their superior's duties at times. This proved to be extremely helpful and beneficial to the war effort. So many different aspects of the secret services in WWII proved to be significant to the war effort and the saving of millions upon millions of lives.
