Code Breakers in WW2

http://www.alanturing.net/turing_archive/pages/Reference%20Articles/codebreaker.html
This website is about a man called Alan
Turing. I read the paragraphs and learned
that human'sthought really affects many
things. Just like Alanhad a great influence
in code breaking.

This website is about another man named
Harry Beckhough. He is a code breaker
during WorldWar Two. I watched the video
and read the article I realized a litigant in
WW2 can recount the war in the best way.

This is a video about code breakers during WW2:

Prisoners of War

http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/dixie/921/PoWs/pows.htm
This website is about German prisoners of war in
Britain. I read the paragraphs and look at some
pictures. German prisoners often changed their
camps in Britain. You can detect that there were
lots of camps in Britain from the picture right.
However, they still didn't get basic demand.
Picture1: Network of POW camps in Britain.



There are several pictures in this website. All
of them are about the prisoners in World War
Two. I scan all pictures.There were many
German prisoners which were caught by
American. The picture right is about Jewish
civilians.Black and white picture also reflects
their agonizing life.

Spies in WW2

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_British_spies_were_there_during_World_War_2
This is a Q and A about spies of Britain. Their
spies were successful because they all came
from different countries. I learn different
languages can make the spying job safer.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_effect_did_German_spies_have_in_World_War_2
This is another Q and A, about German spies. Comparing with

spies of Britain, spies of Germany were really helpless. They
were often caught by Britain immediately. However, their
military was still strong.

Pearl Harbor

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor
This article length is so long that I just read some
paragraphs. After I read it, I found people like to show
the results by numbers. However, we have to put the
emphasis on preventing attacks like this.

This website talks about a story of a couple that lived
in Pearl Harbor. I read all of it and found the attack
of Pearl Harbor was the most successful one than the
others. I also learned countries didn't care what they
were attacking during the war. Though the houses
of civilian.
The length of this website is much longer than the first
website I found. Call me if you finish reading all of it.
There's a film "Japan Bombs Pearl Harbor". From the
sentence president said:“day which will live in infamy”
I realized how brutal Japan was that time.

Bombing Raids in WW2

http://www.century-of-flight.freeola.com/Aviation%20history/WW2/bombing%20raids.htm
This website talks about bombing raids in Britain
and Germany. Germany bombed London, and
Britain revenged. It wouldn't end if Britain didn't
win the war. However, weapons broke many
families, not except for Germans.
I view this website and read the article. There are
many statistics in the last paragraph. Bombing
Raids caused enormous damage during WW2. It
shows there is no honorable war. War can't occur.
This video is about the battle of Britain. At first
there were many people preparing bombs. You can
see bombing raids and dogfights, too. After I watch-
ed the film, if humans didn't record the war, our
later generations won't learn the brutal of war.

Iroquois Nation


http://www.mce.k12tn.net/indians/reports1/iroquois.htm
I watched pictures of models they made. They've done a
good job. Iroquois Indians lived in which New York state
is now. I learn that things change quickly in the same place.
For example, the Longhouse vanished and buildings appear.


I read all questions and answers in this website. I learn
more about the life in Indian culture. I also know there
are somethings still don't change after hundreds years.
Take Indian kids for example, they liked to play but most
of times they had to do chores.
I read the whole article about Black Hawk, one of the famous
chiefs. He was good at battling. He killed Indians of other
tribes when he was young. I realize although he was good at
fighting, Indians were still persecuted by Americans' guns
and con games.

Britain's Battle In WW2

http://www.battleofbritain1940.net/contents-index.html
This website is well arranged. I clicked on page10 The
Hawker Hurricane. You can find how it was designed.
I learn weapons can be used to save people, too.









http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/ww2_home/ww2_battle_of_britain/ww2_the_raf_strike_back/index.shtml
This website talked about the RAF. I also clicked the "Our Last
Hour". In this war, Britain lost less soldiers than German. I
realize war always causes deaths, though you lost less soldiers.







http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwtwo/battle_of_britain_01.shtml
I scan over this website and look at the picture. The picture shows
the trail of the battle between air forces. I also learned Britain
wasn't the sole country which fought with German. Also the US and the Soviet Union.
