Years of War A weekly look back in time to the events that changed our world. Volume III, Issue XXIII 29 February, 2011 The Casualties of World War II Price: free! Before World War II the countries Germany, Russia, America, England, and France were all in an economy depression. The countries were left dirt poor after World War I. Germany was in what is called a hyperinflated economy. At this time Russia was by Chris Wadlow starting the first communist government. Soon Hitler would take his place in his country’s government. Hitler saw the perfect opportunity of reversing the effects of World War I by promising German citizens a stronger economy and military. After being elected, Hitler kept his promise of having a better military, by joining Austria and the Sudetenland, part of Czechoslovakia, creating what would soon be known as the Third Reich. In Japan the military took control of the government and started a campaign of taking over all of Asia. After a few years the bloodiest war in known history began. Hitler soon started a campaign to exact Germany’s revenge on those who tried to destroy Germany in World War I. To get his people to follow him he decided to influence the Germans to become Nazis’. The people of Germany didn’t wish to get involved in another war but like all humans they needed to blame somebody else because of their suffering. Hitler knew most Germans believed in Christ so, being believers, he reminded the Germans that Jews killed Jesus. There were millions of Jews in Germany so Hitler said God was angry that Jews lived in Germany and it was the Jews fault for all the suffering. Angered, most of the Germans became Nazis’ and started to look upon Jews as a disease. On September 1, 1939 Hitler, without declaration of war, invaded Poland. Germany, with ease, defeated Poland. Over 1.25 million Germans soldiers went to war but 14,000 Germans died. At the end of the war Germany had over 5.69 million casualties. Russia had 27 million casualties. England had 495,000 casualties. America had 413,000 casualties. Japan had 2 million casualties. These are not all the casualties but are the biggest, making this the bloodiest war in history.

During the 1940’s the jazz and big band styles were a big hit. One of the biggest music styles was Dizzy Gillespie known as his trademark puffy cheeks being prominent jazz trumpeter. The 1940’s was the time for new artists to come out with their new break through songs and make history. There was one person name Cab Calloway he was a jazz singer that started singing during the 1940’s. Bing Crosby helped defined the music of the 1940’s as well as much of the music today isn’t that awesome. Some of the songs are pretty cool also like: 1.) When You Wish Upon a Star-Glenn Miller 2.) In the Mood – Glenn Miller 3.) When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano- Ink Spots 4.) Body and Soul- Coleman Hawkins 5.) Frenesi- Artie Shaw 6.) Tuxedo Junction- Glenn Miller 7.) I’ll Never Smile Again-Tommy Dorsey 8.) Sierra Sue-Bing Crosby 9.) Blueberry Hill- Glenn Miller 10.) Careless- Glenn Miller 11.) Ferryboat Serenade-Andrews Sisters There are more songs but I’m not going to list them all. I love music and hope that you do too it’s really interesting to listen to the rhythm of the music the beat and the lyrics of the song I love to hear new things from the past to the present which is good because our Journalism teacher Mr. Dibble listens to all kinds of music. Which makes everything more interesting when we are learning? Thanks for reading my article. The Fuhrerbunker Jose Badillo Hitler’s Fuhrerbunker was located under Hitler’s New Reich Chancellor at Berlin, Germany. Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun stared at the Bunker until April 30, 1945. The Bunker was made for a temporary airraid shelter for Hitler, but later made that bunker permanent shelter for Hitler. The Hitler’s bunker was protected by four meters of concrete and the bunker had 30 small rooms were distributed over two levels they were exits that led to the gardens. The building was built in two phases. The first phase was built in 1936, the second phase was built in 1943. The 1943 development was built by Hochtief Company and the construction in Berlin began in 1940. In January 16, 1945 Martin Bormann, Evan Braun and Joseph Gobbles with Magda and their six children moved in with Hitler, but took the upper Vorbunker. Medical and administrative staffs were sheltered which included Hitler’s secretary, a nurse named Erna Flegel a telephonist named Rochus Misch and Hitler’s dog Blond. They occupied the underground bunker. Hitler would sometimes stroll around the chancellery garden with Blond, until March of 1945 when shelling became very common. The Gum Song Service of Supply by: Konrad Wonser World War II Reproductions and Militaria On December 8, 1944 Fred Waring and his Specializing in hard-to-find American Army equipment and Pennsylvanians recorded the song HAVE YA GOT ANY weaponry. Proud to host the Union Gap School World War II Class Newspaper on line: GUM, CHUM. Have ya got any gum, chum is a big band http://www.serviceofsupply.com jazz song written by Murray Kane in 1944. The music and Maps * First-Aid Pouches * G.I. Neckties * lyrics were copyrighted on February 6, 1945. Bandoleers * Dummy Ordinance * Gas Brassards The American troops were given k-rations with gum tablets from Wrigley Company for free. Wrigley knew exactly what he was doing because as American troops going to other countries and spreading the joy of gum everyone would want gum. It was not just given to the militaries but also to a girl’s baseball team known at the time the Chicago bears. In England the kids found out that the American troops were given k rations with little tablets of gum. Every time they saw an American G.I. they would say “Ya have any gum chum?” That’s were Murray Kane found the idea for the song, “Ya have any gum chum?” As it became popular in America there did other bands and orchestras want to make there own version. When Fred and his band recorded the song it wasn’t released to America until the 1950s released by Decca Records. Also it was recorded b Glenn Miller Orchestra in November 1945 before they shortly disbanded. Glenn’s version was recorded for a radio broadcast. The next year Ray McKinley recorded with a billboard review that described it as “cute novelty” but with” plain and effective “vocals. McKinley version was released as the b-side to his version of “we’ll Gather Lilacs” from Ivor Novello’s perchance to dream.

The psychology of soldiers “marking-time” is a topic we could research forever. Those that had to do it didn’t necessarily think of it as a grand social experiment… it was work!
