Hey guys! I am having to choose 2 dates from WW2 and write a summary of them.
September 3rd 1939,
It all started on the day Adolf Hitler leads his German army to invade Poland - September 1st 1939.
The war only lasted about 1 month before the Nazis took hold of victory. France and Britain, both allies of Poland, then declared war on Germany with the help of New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand and Australia were both parts of the British Empire, so that meant when Britain was at war, so was New Zealand and Australia.
September 15th 1940,
On this Sunday, the Luftwaffe (German defensive aircraft) launched its largest attack on London, in an attempt to draw out RAF into a battle of annihilation. About 1,500 aircraft took part in the battle. This action was the most intense part of the Battle of Britain.

Very good recount of events Garnet - it is very interesting learn about Germany's involvement in World War 2, particularly since they were the catalyst for this event occurring. We can learn a lot from other people's experiences. Have you read diary entries or letters from soldiers at war before? - Mrs T
