WWII
WWII stands for World War Two and was the second world war. There were two sides, the Axis, or Nazis, and the Allies, or the Amercans. The causes for WWII was that Hitler, the leader of the Nazi party, wanted to exterminate all Jewish people and eliminate their religion to create a "Perfect Society". The rest of the world thought this was wrong, and they decided to create "The Allies" to fight against the Nazis.
Kamikaze Fighters/Bombers
Kamikaze fighters or "Cherry Blossoms" were small planes that had large warhead on the front of them. They were basically manned bombs. A larger Japanese plane could attach a Kamikaze bomber to the bottom of their plane, rise over an ideal altitude (and out of range of Anti-Aircraft guns), get directly over a American ship, and drop the Kamikaze. The Kamikaze Bomber could then steer the plane into the top of the ship reaching a incredible speed to cause as much damage as possible.
Enola Gay
Enola Gay was a large, proud B-29 Superfortress bomber named after Paul W. Tibbits mother. It was piloted by a full bombing crew consisting of Colonel Paul W. Tibbits Jr. as Pilot and Aircraft Commander (1915-2007), Captain Robert A. Lewis as Co-Pilot [ assigned Aircraft Commander ] (1917-1983), Major Thomas Ferebee as Bombarder (1918-2000), Captain Theodore "Dutch" Van Durk as the Navigator (1921 -), U.S. Navy Captain William S. "Deak" Parsons as Weaponeer and Bomb Commander (1901-1953), Lieutenant Jacob Beser as Radar Countermeasures (1921-1992), Second Lieutenant Morris R. Jeppson as Assistant Weaponeer (1922-2010), and Technical Sergeant George R. "Bob" Caron as Tail Gunner (1919-1995).
Holocaust
The Holocaust was an event in WWII that was created by Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazis. In the Holocaust, Nazis searched for all the Jewish people they could and brought them to one place. After they had found as many Jews as they could, they would separate the children from the men and women. The children would then be forced to work for the Nazis digging trenches and graves, and the adults would be put into a line. Once the adults were in this line, they would then be examined. One Nazi soldier would take a look at you and determine whether you were to live and continue as a laborer working for the Germans, or be sent to the "Showers". If you were sent to the "Showers", you would be stripped of your clothing, shaved, and pushed into massive rooms full of shower heads. Once as many people as they could fit were in the showers, they would turn on the gas. The poisonous gas would then leak through the shower heads and almost immediately suffocate and kill everyone inside.
