Defeating the Nazis It all started off with us being in Warsaw, Poland 1946. That was where we had trained to get prepared for war against the Nazis. I met Ben by partnering up with him from a unit. I still remember the experiences that I went through with Ben and how we both saved each other lives once in the woods. We were in a unit, about to be sent off to take out the Nazis. I looked around and all I saw were soldiers terrified, not knowing what they are about to go through, except one. He wasn’t far away from where I was, but he looked different among the other terrified soldiers, because of the expression he had on his face. He looked calm, brave, and as if he knows what he is about to go through. I looked at his nametag and his name …show more content…
His face turned like a tomato, but with anger once he saw the two Nazi soldiers. The tree had given Ben a boost to jump off. It all happened quickly while I was trying to recover, one of the Nazi soldier was holding Ben while the other was punching Ben in the stomach. I couldn’t do nothing while they were beating Ben with pain, so I looked around for a knife and stabbed the soldier that was holding Ben on his back. Once I turned around, I felt a grasp around my neck and was pushed against a tree struggling for air. I was looking for Ben, but my visions were blurry and my voice was cracking while I tried to gasp for air. Once I almost got close to fainting, I heard a gunshot and I was released. I caught my breathe and suddenly I saw red everywhere on the ground and some nearby trees. That's when I realized it was the Nazi soldiers blood. I smelled the blood aroma around me and it was causing me to feel queasy. Ben crouched down beside me and helped me up to my feet. He thanked me for saving his life and I thanked him back for saving my life. Once I got back on my feet I blinked a couple of times and turned around to find Ben, but once I saw him he had one of the Nazis uniform on. He was holding the other dead Nazi soldier uniform to me and was explaining that we should fool the other Nazi soldiers to kill them. I agreed with him and we were both in Nazi uniforms. Our
The next day Dieter woke up in an hospital, he didn't know what was going on so he asked a general what happened to Schaefer and the American boy that helped me. The general answered that they both died. But Dieter would be to if Spencer wouldn't have helped him.
It all started out when Madec hired Ben because of his field in working in the desert. When Madec saw a white figure through his ten-power scope on his .358 caliber Winchester Magnum, he fired saying he saw horns on it. When they walked up there, Madec confessed that he did not see horns on the animal, and requested to go on hunting and not waste time finding it and bringing it to the jeep. But Ben insisted on either bringing it in to the jeep or to burry it in the desert sand. But Madec had known what he had done, and kept persisting to go on and not waste time because it is a once in a lifetime chance to go hunting for bighorn sheep, and he didn?t want to go home empty handed. So when they got to the body of the sheep, Ben discovered that it was a human. The .358 caliber Winchester Magnum bullet had done fearful damage, blasting the man?s lungs out through his back. Madec was mad that Ben had found out what had happened, and said they should burry the man and never talk about him again. But, good ol? honest Ben wasn?t about to make a mistake; he wanted to report the accident to the sheriff. So he went down to go get the jeep, and on his way back up, he heard 2 gunshots. When he got up there, he asked what Madec was doing with the gun and Madec said he was seeing how it was shot. Then Madec went on to the body, and said that the man had been shot before, twice. Madec had tried to cover up his mistake. Then, Madec got mad and said that he didn?t want to go to town to report an accident because he might go to jail. Then he held the gun up to Ben, and told him to take all his clothes off and walk to town.
The Silber Medal winning biography, “Surviving Hitler," written by Andrea Warren paints picture of life for teenagers during the Holocaust, mainly by telling the story of Jack Mandelbaum.

He used to take me out quite a bit and when he went away to training he wrote to me. I don’t remember the date, it must have been 1915. He went overseas and four days later his head was blow off around Berlin, somewheres in Germany. He was killed. So I remember that and I remember soldiers desperate and I remember ... I don’t know—that’s why I’m beginning to hate wars, beginning to find out and reason with myself that there is no reason for it. We’re intelligent human beings. Can’t we find our ways and means of trying to live with us, ourselves and our neighbours, and our country with other countries’
Mr. Felder enrolled in Tuskegee Institute in 1941 and continued his education until 1943 when he enlisted in the U.S. army and became a member of the famed 92nd Infantry Division, a part of the old historic “Buffalo Soldiers Regiment.” From 1943 to 1946, his infantry unit encountered much combat on the front lines in Italy during World War II. He was wounded in combat and returned from the war with a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, and a shrapnel-fragments of a bomb, shell, or other object thrown out by an explosion-still lodged in his body.

During the Holocaust, around six million Jews were murdered due to Hitler’s plan to rid Germany of “heterogeneous people” in Germany, as stated in the novel, Life and Death in the Third Reich by Peter Fritzsche. Shortly following a period of suffering, Hitler began leading Germany in 1930 to start the period of his rule, the Third Reich. Over time, his power and support from the country increased until he had full control over his people. Starting from saying “Heil Hitler!” the people of the German empire were cleverly forced into following Hitler through terror and threat. He had a group of leaders, the SS, who were Nazis that willingly took any task given, including the mass murder of millions of Jews due to his belief that they were enemies to Germany. German citizens were talked into participating or believing in the most extreme of things, like violent pogroms, deportations, attacks, and executions. Through the novel’s perspicacity of the Third Reich, readers can see how Hitler’s reign was a controversial time period summed up by courage, extremity, and most important of all, loyalty.

In 1989 I was a private in basic training at Fort Benning Georgia United States Army Infantry School. In a classroom setting, for a reason that I cannot recall, one of my drill sergeants said “you’re no Audie Murphy.” I made the rookie mistake of asking “Who is Audie Murphy?” The room went silent. I did not know why, but I knew something was wrong because all three of my drill instructors including the senior drill instructor stared at me like I dropped my rifle. The senior drill instructor said, “You’re in the Army and you don’t know who Audie Murphy is?” In a stern voice he told me to find out then report back to tell him about Audie Murphy. I asked other people in the class, and I learned quickly that Audie Murphy is one of the most well-known Army war heroes in our nation’s history.
...ings by then, whose memories, fears, and enthusiasms should not be remembered." Thus, unlike the title suggests, this remarkable war memoir is not about one soldier. Instead it refers to the entire German army who were defeated by the Allies. Although the German cause was very controversial, these gentlemen bravely fought for their country. Many men died, many were mutilated, and many more had to forever live with the atrocities they encountered. At war's end, however, they were merely "forgotten" for their failure of success. And although The Forgotten Soldier is an astonishing account of the horrors of infantry warfare, it serves a much greater purpose. It allows the historian to glance into the German experience and realize they too were young men fighting because their nation called upon them, and they deserve to be remembered for such a courageous act.
One cold, snowy night in the Ghetto I was woke by a screeching cry. I got up and looked out the window and saw Nazis taking a Jewish family out from their home and onto a transport. I felt an overwhelming amount of fear for my family that we will most likely be taken next. I could not go back to bed because of a horrid feeling that I could not sleep with.

Word had gotten out throughout the camp that Ben’s attack drained him so much that he had died but he was of a race of blobfish who were powerful and immortal wizards and his spirit would find another body someday. The whole camp mourned for a day and prayed the prayer “Blessed is the Holy Blobby trinity and the members of it:Blob The father, Tucker The son, and the Holy Blobby Spirit and that thou shalt help us in the battle against the wicked that is to come and save us from death”and another prayer:”Blob deliver Ben to a new Body soon and If we shall die send us to eternal happiness and save us from sin”.At dawn of the next day all the Blobfish had awoke to the sirens in the camp and they rushed to their positions They saw that Wumbus’s corps had already slain three of the score of narlrogs that were with Roberts army.Thrice Robert charged on the blobfish rank and thrice he was battered back with over a two thousand urchins slain without a single blobfish dying.
Ben Steel was a Montana Cowboy that wanted to join the Army Air Corps. Even his mother had encouraged him by saying “You know, I’ve been thinking.” “You really ought to get in before they draft you. Maybe if you do, you could, you, know do what you want in the army?” (Norman 8). But a year later his unit was being shipped to Clark Field to prevent the Japanese aggression in the Pacific. After surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, Steele was able to join the retreating Ame...
