Answer: I can't believe an eighth-grade teacher would hit a student with 10 questions that would require a Master's Thesis to answer them. I'll tackle two of them. If your teacher is insistent on me answering all 10, please get me in touch with this teacher, so we can have a talk about realistic assignments for eighth-graders. If the questions are your idea, please narrow the focus or ask fewer questions at a single time. This is not because I don't want to answer your questions.

Once England declared war on Germany, Roald and all the other young British men in the colonies had to help contain German sympathizers. After that he officially joined the Royal Air Force and was trained to fly combat missions. The other men in his squadron gave him the nickname "Lofty" because he was so tall (and had difficulty squashing himself into the airplane cockpit!). Tragically of the twenty men in 80 Squadron, Dahl was one of only three to survive.

The Project collects first-hand accounts of US veterans who served in World War I (1914-1920), World War II (1939-1946), or the Korean War (1950-1955), Vietnam War (1961-1975), Persian Gulf War (1990-1995), or Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present). Those US citizen civilians who were actively involved in supporting war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etc.) are also invited to share their valuable stories.

No one knows. In the 1947 essay "On the Writing of Speculative Fiction," Heinlein mentions that he invented a fictional gadget for a story. Supposedly, a Navy colleague read the description and had a jury-rigged version of the gadget in service before the second half of the story was published, and it went into common use during WWII. Despite much research, especially by Ed Wysocki, no one has been able to pin down the story, the gadget, or the truth.

Yes. The museum holds five pieces of tattooed human skin that were obtained from the pathology laboratory at the Buchenwald concentration camp when it was liberated. The records concerning the specimens are thorough, and testing of three specimens confirms they are human, although we cannot say with certainty if they were obtained from prisoners or if they existed before the war.

Sadly, I can't, mostly because I was born in 1962. The war ended in 1945. I suggest you contact a veterans' organization or hospital in your area. You will find numerous veterans eager to recall their experiences You can forward me the e-mail, but please bear in mind that these folks are in their 80s, and are drenched with letters, e-mails, and phone calls. The Easy Company vets are heroic but fairly ordinary Americans, eager to please but overwhelmed by the adulation.

There were displaced persons camps all over Europe. Some people returned to their own communities. Only one out of three Jews living in Europe in 1939 survived the Nazi genocide. The majority immigrated to Palestine, or the United States and a small number returned to what was left of their prewar communities.

Actually, it was a woman. On December 8, 1941, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 388-1 to enter the war. The only no-vote came from Republican Representative Jeannette Rankin, a pacifist from Montana. Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973) was the first woman ever elected to the House and served two terms, separated by many years. During her first term from 1917 to 1919, she voted against U.S. entry into World War I and subsequently lost her bid for re-election.

Yes, we are interested in interviewing all veterans and those who supported the military effort (such as ???Rosie the Riveter???). For the remainder of 2006 and the beginning of 2007 we will focus on World War II vets. After that we will begin interviewing veterans from later time periods.

In support of the war effort, the Academy handed out plaster Oscar statuettes during WWII. After the war, winners exchanged the plaster awards for golden statuettes.

A couple reasons. Tactical games fit into the rest of the media better. Movies, TV shows and novels handle tactical situations and players become more familiar with them. Also, for all their detail, the scope of tactical games are easier to handle. Players have a limited number of objectives and units to use. All the essentials are at one level of calculations. Strategic thinking spans a spectrum of activities that are not necessarily related.

In the 1970s, as the veterans started to retire, they decided that TB Vets would continue to provide employment for people with disabilities. Like the veteran workers before them, our staff with disabilities are dedicated to the services they provide for British Columbians.

Over the protests of Red Cross officials in 1942, Secretary of War Henry B. Stimson decided that American soldiers should pay for their Red Cross meals in rear areas only, just as their Allied counterparts did in English and Australian Clubs. Coffee, doughnuts and other food served at the front lines remained free. If these items were sold, it was done illegally or in ignorance.
