Hitler's Invasion

Papen was the vice Chancellor and the favorite of Hindenburg. He did a speech in the Marbury University to check the power of the Nazis. He was very afraid because he made someone give a speech for him and they took it too far. However he got a standing ovation from his crowd. that night Hitler was very mad because the speech was all about him so it was the night of the Long Knives it was a purge and he killed his friend Ernst Rohm. in the night of August 1934 Hindenburg died and Hitler had all the power. 1934 to 1938 Hitler visually ready the Army while telling the world he wishes were peace. Most country stand by and do nothing as time and time again Hitler breaks the Treaty of Versailles. Heather produce military jobs but they were Jewish jobs so jews would no longer be able to work. In March 1938 after four years of preparation Hitler's Army was ready to move and Annex Austria. Annex is a peaceful takeover of a country where your troops occupied it. Hitler said it was the will of the Austrian people to become German. A while later Hitler demands the sudetenland and Europe allows Hitler to Annex it also. Sudetenland is a demilitarized zone between Germany and Czechoslovakia. Heather DeMoss Czechoslovakia so your opinion leaders intervene and meet with Hitler in muchi so the muchi agreement is when Hitler is allowed to Annex Czechoslovakia in exchange for a promise to invade or Annex no more or there will be War.This would be called appeasement when you give someone what they want for exchange a promise to not do it again and this case to avoid war. in this case appeasement didn't work it only embolders the bully and they should stand up to the bully in this case Hitler. the second reason is selling work is because people lie Hitler can be trusted at his word. On September 7th 1934 Germany invades Poland official state date of World War II.

The Soviet Union and Germany  made an agreement not to go to war with one another. instead what countries would invade Poland and split the country at the oder river. in September 1st 1939 Poland was invaded. France and Great Britain declare war on Germany, however for the first six months of the war Germany is Unstoppable it is the number one military in the world and U.S. is only ranked 18th. Germany conquers Denmark Belgium Netherlands Norway Finland and more. The Crown Jewel for Hitler was to invade and conquer France. Maginot line Was made after World War I it was a wall and fortification on the German border to make invitation and impossible.However they just went across the Wall and France will be under Nazi control for the rest of the war. By June 1940 Great Britain as the only democracy alive fighting Hitler in Europe. Blitzkrieg means lightning War it was highly mechanized war with tanks and airplanes. There was three steps to the strategy first was aerial bombardment day and night to weaken defense. The Second Step was quick penetration with tanks and vehicles to central. 3rd Army and foot soldiers around conquer and take prisoners the lessen casualties on your side and conquers very quickly. Hitler attempts to conquer Britain an operation sea lion Battle of Britain are completely with Air Force and bombard day and night. The tactic didn't work against Great Britain because tanks and trucks can't go across water tanks aren't Jesus.

  1. Overall I liked reading your blog. I think you gave good information and did a nice job summarizing the things we talked about in class. The one thing I would suggest for next time is that you add more of your personal opinion. When I read this I felt like I was just reading notes form class that's not a bad thing but you could make your post more interesting by adding your own opinion. I also liked that you added the joke at the end.
