WWII Europe

My grandpa Bob was an engineer gunner on a bombardier flying missions out of Italy during WWII. He survived, but like most survivors during that time, he never told us any stories. I have heard many stories of Air Corp soldiers who flew missions and it sounds like it had a huge mental impact on the rest of their lives. During WWII 72 million people died. A majority were civilians but there were over 25 million soldiers killed including over 400,000 Americans.

Here are your prompts I would like you to comment on:

Can you imagine a war today in which 70 million people died? Why or why not? Use the info from the Lesson 1 videos to provide an in depth explanation.

What did you learn about in the Lesson 1 videos that you had never learned before? Explain.
