Teaching history is a lot of fun. We can always get into the, What Ifs, in history. What if the US had not be involved in World War Two? I still think Hitler would have lost. Hitler would have almost hands down if he did not attack Russia. The problem is that we have such a tight grip on World War Two as being the "good war" we can hardly see the why we should not have been involved. Not to mention saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I was recently given a presentation folder printing on W.W.II with some info I had not thought of before.
The war was almost over on Sept 10, 1941 when snow fell on German troops. The only thing that motivated them at the end of Stalingrad was FDR's demand for unconditional surrender in early 1942.
History is now always the way the movies or your school books show. More Later . . .
