  1. Did you know that Between 1939 and 1945, the Allies dropped 3.4 million tons of bombs, which averaged to 27,700 tons per month.

  2. In World War II when the English ran out of bombs, when they bombed Dresden and Munich they dropped bricks on the cities instead and even on German pilots. The Germans did this as well during the Blitz and Blitzkreig but when they ran out of bombs and bricks they threw steel darts on English pilots -slicing them right in half!

  3. I can’t wait to explore our WW 2 topic! I would like to learn about all the important events. I know that WW 2 began on 3rd September 1939.

  4. Did you know that during D-day the British and Americans put big plastic bubbles on their tanks as well as propellers but the waves were so big that only 2 out of 75 tanks got to the beach?

  5. Did you know that World War II carried on for a few months after it ended in Europe, and officially ended when Japan surrendered to the Allies on 2 September 1945.

  6. In 1935, British engineer Robert Watson-Watt was working on a “death ray” that would destroy enemy aircraft using radio waves. His “death ray” instead evolved into radar or “radio detection and ranging.”
