  2. The German’s introduced Blitzkrieg • It referred to the “Lighting War” • It was a massive force of air force weapons and land weapons • They invaded Poland and other cites • a method of warfare whereby an attacking force spearheaded by a dense concentration of armored and motorized or mechanized infantry formations, and heavily backed up by close air support

  3. Where Blitzkrieg was used The Germans used blitzkrieg tactics to startling effect in Poland (1939), France (1940), Russia (1941), and the Ardennes (1944), although technically speaking, true blitzkrieg ala Guderian was used only in the first two campaigns (Guderian would later be sacked for disagreeing with Hitler's decisions in Russia).

  4. War Production Board • The War Production Board was granted supreme authority to direct procurement of materials and industrial production programs

  5. WPB Cont. • The WPB directed conversion of industries from peacetime work to war needs, allocated scarce materials, established priorities in the distribution of materials and services, and prohibited nonessential production

  6. WPB Cont. • They were responsible for building supplies for warfare • Air crafts, automobiles, weapons, etc.

  7. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) • The efforts of the office of the scientific research and developments gave military a stronger opportunity to win a battle by using bombs • Ex. The Manhattan project, gas, etc. • They combine science with war

  8. Mobilization in the u.s. • The war effort brought about significant changes in the role of women in society as a whole • The government raised taxes which paid for half of the war’s costs and borrowed money in the form of war bonds to cover the rest of the bill

  9. Mobilization in the u.s. Cont. • We were in the great depression, when the U.S. joined the war it created jobs for thousands of people • American economy was coming out of depression

  10. Mobilization in the u.s. Cont • Women also joined the workforce to replace men who had joined the forces, though in fewer numbers. "Rosie the Riveter" became the symbol of women laboring in manufacturing

  11. Rationing • to provide resources needed for the war • Ex. Parachutes, bed sheets, men jackets • People recycled rubber, iron, nylon, animal fat, bone and donated unused things for the war effort, they also rationed

  12. Super Weapons • Communications and intelligence: devices used for navigation, communication, remote sensing, and espionage •  The Atomic Bomb • Gas

  17. V-2 Rockets • After the war; the Allied powers were able to get all of Germanys blueprints for the V1 & V2 • V-2 were also called "Vengeance Weapon" • The engine was a technical achievement, using high-speed pumps to move large volumes of fuel into the thrust chamber very quickly • The V-2's liquid oxygen and alcohol propellants produced a thrust of 56,000 pounds, giving the rocket a maximum range of 220 miles • The German V-2 of WWII featured the largest and most powerful rocket engine up to that time • The two crucial parts were the thrust chamber and the turbo pump.

  18. Major developments achieved • WW2 major developments involved combat aircraft, power plant, the vital new areas of radar and anti submarines warfare and the substantial efforts with helicopter and guided missiles

  19. What was used in ww2 first • Atomic Bomb, Radar and Sonar, Synthetic Rubber, Jet engines
