Canada targeted posters at specific ethnic groups. There were specially designed posters for French Canadians, Irish-Canadians and Canadians of Scottish descent.

This website doesn't give much background about propaganda, but gives a varying number of examples, such as Nazi propaganda versus East German propaganda.
Aviation: many of these sites listed offered pictures and detailed descriptions of specific American and non-American war planes from WWII, but I chose to highlight two of the sites pertaining to the 82nd division and the bombing of Dresdon.
The US Navy's first entirely airborne division was the 82nd airborne, commanded by Major General Matthew B. Ridgeway. They travelled to train in Fort Bragg, NC (woooo!!) where they took on paratroopers. In preparation for D-Day, the 82nd division pulled out of Italy in December 1943 and started reorganizing. Two new parachute infantry regiments joined the division: the 508th and 509th. "On June 5-6, 1944, the paratroopers of the 82nd's three parachute infantry regiments and reinforced glider infantry regiment boarded hundreds of transport planes and gliders and, began the largest airborne assault in history. They were among the first soldiers to fight in Normandy, France." By the time the All-American division had been pulled back into England after 33 bloody days of fighting, 5,245 paratroopers had been killed, wounded, or missing.

Airplanes were mainly used in WWII to conduct aerial attacks and cause massive and instantaneous destruction through the use of bombs and explosives. One example of this is bombing of Dresdon, Germany, in which British bomber planes targeted, not the industrial centers and military installations, but the wooden, easily ignitable buildings within the heart of Dresdon. The ensuing firestorms caused damage to the industry of the town and caused refugees to flee into the waiting Russian army. This attack did not cripple industry, though, and was used, as some scholars say, merely to 'terrorize' the German people. The death toll was substantial.
WWII was the largest and most violent armed conflict in history of mankind. it was a coalition war against fascism on land and sea. it also occured in the air over several diverse areas of operation. this lasted for about 6 years.
leaders in CA, OR, and WA demanded the residents of Japanese ancestry in the U.S. be removed from their homes along the coast and be relocated to isolated inland areas because many people on the coast had become afraid of the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. this fear led president Roosevelt to sign Order 9066 which resulted in the forcible internment of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry. More than two thirds of these people were loyal American citizens. internment camps, relocation of the Japanese/centers, and assembly centers began in April 1942. Order 9066 was rescinded by Rossevelt in 1944 and the last internment camp was closed in March 1946. Topaz-internment camp in Utah. Tule-internment camp in California.
Carl Vinson served in the House of REpesentitives for 59 consecutive years. Stood for strong National defense and his interest in this and Sea Power led him to having a seat on the House of Naval Affairs Committee. He became chairman of the committee in 1931. he is a very honored and respected man.

Just to add to my above comment, that list is NOT all the battles, but it is the ones I felt were most important out of the VERY long list of campaigns and scrimages provided by the links. -Kim
This site has comprehensive information on WWII aircraft from the B-29 which dropped the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima to a P-40 Kittyhawk that fought in the Pacific during the early part of the war. It shows a picture and gives the capabilities and brief history of each plane.
This site is the Boeing official site so the information is accurate. It gives a history of the Boeing company also describing its use in WWII. Boeing created many of the planes for the war including the B-29 bombers and B-17 bombers, and the C47 milatary transports. It describes how its products were used and what happened after.
Well... two out of the three links for technology didn't work (one didn't exist and the other was in German) so here's a summary of the third article on radios. The goals in the developement for radios during WWII were portability, lower power consumption, wider frequency coverage, and higher reliability. There are six types of portable radio sets. They include the squad radio, the main force communications device, the FAC, the special forces radio, the SAR, and Guard Duty/Fire Rescue/Other Use low band radio. The first modern handheld radios developed were the SCR-511 and the SCR-536. After a while, the PRC-68A followed, which was one of the first microprocesser-controlled units. The first true backpack radio was the SRC-300. It was followed by the Korean War's PRC-8, 9, and 10.The current unit in use is the PRC-119 SINCGARS. The two classes of batteries used for portable radios are Primary(nonrechargeable) and Secondary(rechargeable). During WWII, the three types of batteries used in portables were Lead Acid rechargeable, Carbon Zinc, and Mercury. -Maydha
The first site detailed the development and function of German Radio Codes and Ciphers. It even included a short list of numerical codes that when decipher revealed clear military instructions for ground, naval and air units.

-The first concentration camp in Nazi Germany was opened march 22, 1933. it was called Dachau. -Large-scale murder by gas and body disposal through cremation were conducted systematically
http://www.deathcamps.info/FAQ.htm
-the total number of jewish victims killed were over 5,830,000 -there was 6 death camps all located in poland. -By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed. - As many as one-half million Gypsies, at least 250,000 mentally or physically disabled persons, and more than three million Soviet prisoners-of-war also fell victim to Nazi genocide. Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Social Democrats, Communists, partisans, trade unionists, Polish intelligentsia and other undesirables were also victims of the hate and aggression carried out by the Nazis.
Under the category of "Espionage," the majority of the links seem to be down, and of the few that do work, most are not particularly useful. The final one, "World War II" by bbc.co, is probably the best. The Winston Churchill website requires you to be a memeber. The Codebreaking site is OK. The Cryptology website is good but very complex to navigate. The National Security Archive has a very good section on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but this is only a small part of the website. The Secrets of War website is useless, attempting to sell you a DVD set. Overall, only a select few of these sites are truly useful. -John Latham
The technology changed dramatically from WWI to WWII. World War 2 began with cavalry, trenches, and out-dated battleships, and just only 6 years later countries had developed jet aircrafts, ballistic missiles, and even atomic weapons. One of the most important developments, even though it was towards the end of the war, was penicillin. It was used to help treat wounds and bacterial diseases. The industrial aspect of technology was also improved. Synthetic rubber was made, which turned out to be a necessity during WWII because not enough rubber was being made at the time to supply all the parts of the vehicles that needed it. The ENIAC and the Colossus were also invented and it helped to decode message and figure out tactics of the enemy. World War 2 allowed the technology of the time to advance into some items in which we still use today.
The military used in WWII included: - the Navy - The Army - the Marines - the Army Aircorps the Navy mostly controlled the waters and had air craft carriers in which planes would land and take off from. The Army was made of infantry men and artillery men that fought on the ground. these men were the main make up of the front lines on the ground. the Army had and still has an elite group of men called Army Rangers. these men would take on special task that required a more well trained soldier. the marine were also ground troops. they were trained in all types of combat and were the most well rounded soldiers. there was no Airforce during WWII instead there was the Army Aircorps. this was basically the main air transportation and combat. though the Navy's planes were also a big force in the air. the Aircorps drop paratroopers that were part of the Airborne troops. these troops would be dropped directly into the main brunt of combat.
The Royal Canadian Navy’s ‘small-ship’ fleet of destroyers, corvettes, frigates, and minesweepers (supported by maritime patrol bombers of the Royal Canadian Air Force) escorted Allied shipping across the Atlantic and along the northeastern seaboard of North America. Despite early growing pains, the R.C.N. grew into a formidable anti-submarine force. The navy also made major contributions to Allied operations in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the Arctic, and in European waters.
By war’s end, the Royal Canadian Navy, the world’s third-largest fleet, had enlisted some 100,000 men and 6500 women and operated 471 warships and smaller fighting vessels, most Canadian-built. The R.C.N. sank 28 enemy submarines and numerous surface vessels but lost 24 of its own warships. Approximately 2000 Canadian sailors were killed. Another 12,000 Canadians served in the Merchant Navy, of whom more than 1600 died.
New Zeland sended thousands of troop s to help the allies.
Switzerland demonstrated military readiness with the general mobilization in 1939 and border occupation by 430,000 troops (20 % of the employed persons). However, their equipment was not very up to date. Eugen Bircher, a Swiss colonel at the time, probably made a correct assessment of the situation when saying that the Germans would have been able to advance towards the Swiss capital Berne with a single tank regiment easily
Many other countries contributed with smaller amount of regiments and troops.
I didn't mention Germany Britain and France because we all know about it...
This website is on the United States Strategic Bombing Survey Summary Report on the war in the Pacific. It is a copy of the original 1946 version, and it goes in depth on the United States' plans on bombing before and after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It talks about the Japanese's war and bombing plans and the effects the U.S. bombing campaigns had on Japan. The website is in chronilogical order and it is easy to follow the correct links to the specific information that you want. The guy also has another website on the U.S. strategy in Europe: http://www.anesi.com/ussbs02.htm It talks about the U.S. attacks on Germany and vice versa.
I looked at the documents section. Some links did not work but those who did have a huge amount of WW2 related documents. These documents covered a variety of topics which included peace treaties between countries, trade/war agreements, and field manuals. The sites I found most useful is http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/wwii/wwii.htm and http://www.lonesentry.com/
atomic bomb pages most of the links dont work for starters
here are the ones that do work (and what i thought) the atomic bomb and the end of world war 2:a collection of primary sources -great information, really nice photographs but sometimes it was a little stuffy to read, the actual documents were really cool to look at but a pain to load fifty years from trinity -much easier to read, great use of pictures high energy weapons archive -really interesting link to a hiroshima bomb survivor's account of the day leo szilard online -the interview entitled president truman did not understand was very well written and shows a different perspective than normally recognized
there is an overwhelming quantity of information about the holocaust-the first few sites have dozens of links to others. i found the U.S. holocaust memorial museum website to be extremely interesting in terms of history. despite the fact that nearly half of the links did not work, the majority are worth the vistit. these websites should be researched in depth. there are many interesting facts and pictures regarding the holocaust.
At the commencement of WWII, American companies needed to produce warplanes efficiently, quickly and in mass quantities. The key was cooperation among aircraft manufacturers in producing top of the line aircraft. American companies like Boeing immediately converted to warfare production and some factories were even disguised from the air by placing fake lawns on rooftops.
Women played a pivotal role in building aircraft when America entered the war and men were shipped overseas. These women boosted production from 60 B-29s per month in 1942 to 362 planes in March of 1944.
In the Pacific, American planes like the CW-21 Demon and F2A Buffalo were clumsy, heavy and poor in comparison with the nimble Japanese planes. But American production soon caught on, and developed the exceptional F4F Wildcat, the Wild Cat Fish (float version of the Wildcat) and finally the F4V Corsair, the best carrier-based fighter in WWII. Afterwards, America excelled in fighters, bombers, cargo, dive bombers, flying boats, seaplanes, reconnaissance and even a few helicopters. The DB-7 twin engine and Boeing B-17 in particular developed reputations of getting crews home even with colossal structural damage.
WWII is known to have been the accelerator of merging computer sciences with jet propulsion technology. German rocket scientists built the V-1 in 1941, which was a pilotless bomber capable of delivering a 1-ton payload 150 miles. This progressed into the V-2, which was TV-guided and could deliver 2,200 lbs of bombs 200 miles in less than 4 minutes. These arrived too late in the war to effect the outcome, though they caused a leap forward in the sciences of aviation.
Particular famous squadrons/ circumstances I came accross: the German night fighters, Japanese Kamikaze, American black-cats, British fighter squadrons in the Battle of Britain, the bombing of Dresden -- the high point of strategic air war in Europe, and much, much more. Feel free to add to this list.
http://www.paris.org/Expos/Liberation/chronoA.html This gives an amazing detailed timeline of the Liberation of Paris in August 1944. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/guts/index.html This leads to two websites that have first-hand, detailed information about D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. -Netta and Emily
Of the approximately 130,000 American prisoners of war in World War II, 27,000 or more were held by Japan. Of the approximately 19,000 American civilian internees held in WWII, close to 14,000 were captured and interned by Japan. After the conclusion of WWII, Congress passed the War Claims Act of 1948, which created a War Claims Commission to pay out small lump-sum compensation payments from a War Claims Fund consisting of seized Japanese, German, and other Axis assets. Payments to POWs held by either Germany or Japan were at the rate of $1 to $2.50 per day of imprisonment. The WCC also paid civilian internees of Japan $60 for each month of internment, and civilians were also eligible for compensation for disability or death. The War Claims Act of 1948 did not authorize compensation for civilian internees held by Germany.
Guns, tanks, and bombs were the principal weapons of World War II, but there were other, more subtle forms of warfare as well. Words, posters, and films waged a constant battle for the hearts and minds of the American citizenry just as surely as military weapons engaged the enemy. Persuading the American public became a wartime industry, almost as important as the manufacturing of bullets and planes. The Government launched an aggressive propaganda campaign with clearly articulated goals and strategies to galvanize public support, and it recruited some of the nation's foremost intellectuals, artists, and filmmakers to wage the war on that front.
Government sought to rally public opinion in support of the war's aims; quotes from popular songs and sayings attest to the success of the campaign that helped to sustain the war effort throughout the world-shaking events of World War II.
http://www.hanford.gov/ -site on a nuclear waste treatment company -doesn't have any information on atomic bomb -only infromation is on emplyoment oppurtunities and history of the company -why ???

Allied air forces dropped propaganda pamphlets from planes during WWII. Airdropped leaflets often contained the strategic type of propaganda (aims to influence the target in the long term).
After D-day, many of these propaganda papers were spread over short distances by firing with artillery shells or rockets.
Due to heavy strain on these papers during airdrops, many were destroyed or heavily damaged.
-In the early years of the war, a German spreading these enemy propaganda items on to others could be heavily punished. In the later years of the war, Germans were not even allowed to pick up a leaflet from the ground. So it is understandable that many Germans did not keep leaflets when found. Instead, they often did read them quickly and then, just like the German laws wanted them to, turned them in to the Nazi police after marking the leaflet with the word "Feindpropaganda" ["Enemy propaganda"].

Technology- One kind of technology that was used and improved during World War II were the portable radios. There were six different types of radios, four of them are tactical, the other two are not tactical. The tactical ones are:
-The Squad Radio-a small hand held unit for very local communications within ground forces
-VHF FM (wide band) backpack-used for longer distance communications than the squad radio can provide.
-A FAC-for communications with aircraft.
-Special Forces radio-for longer distance communications than the VHF Backpackwould provides.
The non-tactical radios are:
-SAR (Search and Rescue)-used for hurt airmen or any other rescue missions.
-Guard Duty/Fire Rescue/Other Use types-This was used for guard duty, fire rescue missions, or any other various reasons.
That's all the portable radios...and that's all my one page talks about...so yeah, peace...
The U.S. military and navy uses propaganda to invite and appeal to potential soldiers. The sites show heroic videos and stories. Both the U.S. military and navy sites show basic, general information about what the jobs are like: start and end times, places, ect. However, neither show the downsides to fighting in a war or being out on the ocean for months at a time. They do not mention the searing temperatures in Iraq that the soldiers must face.

this website is very insightful on the actions of American civilians on the homefront. They did everything they could to help the war effort. Those people did everything from ration food to donating resources to home drying food.
Espionage was very prevalent in WWII in many ways 1) The Enigma Machine- a machine which Germans used to communicate secret messages to eachother which got cracked by the Allies 2) Women Spies- no one would ever see it coming 3) Secret technology- radar, ballistic missiles, spy jet planes, guided smart bombs, secret submarines

The Germans used a secret message machine, the enigma. The Poles cracked the code that the Germans thought was impossible. British ships captured a German abandoned ship and took the Enigma. Germans were the top spymasters in the third Reich. Female spies also unearthed secrets, they supported the resistance and destroyed the morale of the enemy. Women OSS agents dropped behind enemy lines. Female radio operators inside the Third Reich recieved much information. During the "Phony War," many spies, diplomats, agents of influence, intelligence officers, opportunists, chariatans, and statesman to make their move. Methods of fakery and propoganda and also decoy tanks with phony radio broadcasts made much confusion. There was a spy whose lies led Hitler to ruin. Tools of deception was a major weapon. There were primitive baloons to supersonic spy planes and more. Peace Out.
The National Army Security Agency Association is a very good source for information on the history of espionage during WWII. It is very informative and detailed. Unlike many of the other websites in the espionage category, National Army Security Agency Association was helpful, functioning, and did not try to sell you anything. The web site is easy to navigate and very resourceful.

Canada targeted posters at specific ethnic groups. There were specially designed posters for French Canadians, Irish-Canadians and Canadians of Scottish descent.
Another frequent theme was the encouragement of workers to increase productivity.

PROPAGANDA
http://members.home.nl/ww2propaganda/
This website gives a lot of information about propaganda rather than just showing examples.
http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/
This website doesn't give much background about propaganda, but gives a varying number of examples, such as Nazi propaganda versus East German propaganda.
Aviation:
many of these sites listed offered pictures and detailed descriptions of specific American and non-American war planes from WWII, but I chose to highlight two of the sites pertaining to the 82nd division and the bombing of Dresdon.
The US Navy's first entirely airborne division was the 82nd airborne, commanded by Major General Matthew B. Ridgeway. They travelled to train in Fort Bragg, NC (woooo!!) where they took on paratroopers. In preparation for D-Day, the 82nd division pulled out of Italy in December 1943 and started reorganizing. Two new parachute infantry regiments joined the division: the 508th and 509th.
"On June 5-6, 1944, the paratroopers of the 82nd's three parachute infantry regiments and reinforced glider infantry regiment boarded hundreds of transport planes and gliders and, began the largest airborne assault in history. They were among the first soldiers to fight in Normandy, France."
By the time the All-American division had been pulled back into England after 33 bloody days of fighting, 5,245 paratroopers had been killed, wounded, or missing.
www.ww2airborne.us/division/82_overview
Airplanes were mainly used in WWII to conduct aerial attacks and cause massive and instantaneous destruction through the use of bombs and explosives. One example of this is bombing of Dresdon, Germany, in which British bomber planes targeted, not the industrial centers and military installations, but the wooden, easily ignitable buildings within the heart of Dresdon. The ensuing firestorms caused damage to the industry of the town and caused refugees to flee into the waiting Russian army. This attack did not cripple industry, though, and was used, as some scholars say, merely to 'terrorize' the German people. The death toll was substantial.

Homefront
WWII was the largest and most violent armed conflict in history of mankind. it was a coalition war against fascism on land and sea. it also occured in the air over several diverse areas of operation. this lasted for about 6 years.
leaders in CA, OR, and WA demanded the residents of Japanese ancestry in the U.S. be removed from their homes along the coast and be relocated to isolated inland areas because many people on the coast had become afraid of the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. this fear led president Roosevelt to sign Order 9066 which resulted in the forcible internment of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry. More than two thirds of these people were loyal American citizens. internment camps, relocation of the Japanese/centers, and assembly centers began in April 1942. Order 9066 was rescinded by Rossevelt in 1944 and the last internment camp was closed in March 1946. Topaz-internment camp in Utah.
Tule-internment camp in California.
Carl Vinson served in the House of REpesentitives for 59 consecutive years. Stood for strong National defense and his interest in this and Sea Power led him to having a seat on the House of Naval Affairs Committee. He became chairman of the committee in 1931. he is a very honored and respected man.

http://www.boeing.com/history/
This site is the Boeing official site so the information is accurate. It gives a history of the Boeing company also describing its use in WWII. Boeing created many of the planes for the war including the B-29 bombers and B-17 bombers, and the C47 milatary transports. It describes how its products were used and what happened after.

Well...
two out of the three links for technology didn't work (one didn't exist and the other was in German) so here's a summary of the third article on radios.
The goals in the developement for radios during WWII were portability, lower power consumption, wider frequency coverage, and higher reliability. There are six types of portable radio sets. They include the squad radio, the main force communications device, the FAC, the special forces radio, the SAR, and Guard Duty/Fire Rescue/Other Use low band radio.
The first modern handheld radios developed were the SCR-511 and the SCR-536. After a while, the PRC-68A followed, which was one of the first microprocesser-controlled units.
The first true backpack radio was the SRC-300. It was followed by the Korean War's PRC-8, 9, and 10.The current unit in use is the PRC-119 SINCGARS.
The two classes of batteries used for portable radios are Primary(nonrechargeable) and Secondary(rechargeable).
During WWII, the three types of batteries used in portables were Lead Acid rechargeable, Carbon Zinc, and Mercury.

Espionage:
Most of the links were broken, dead ends or websites that required you buy their source material to view it.
I did however find this link very informative.
http://home.earthlink.net/~nbrass1/enigma.htm
And although this link did not have any actual information on it, it did have quite a few book and other published references listed.
http://frode.home.cern.ch/frode/crypto/
The first site detailed the development and function of German Radio Codes and Ciphers. It even included a short list of numerical codes that when decipher revealed clear military instructions for ground, naval and air units.

HOLOCAUST
http://www.deathcamps.info/
-The first concentration camp in Nazi Germany was opened march 22, 1933. it was called Dachau.
-Large-scale murder by gas and body disposal through cremation were conducted systematically
http://www.deathcamps.info/FAQ.htm
-the total number of jewish victims killed were over 5,830,000
-there was 6 death camps all located in poland.
-By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed.
- As many as one-half million Gypsies, at least 250,000 mentally or physically disabled persons, and more than three million Soviet prisoners-of-war also fell victim to Nazi genocide. Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Social Democrats, Communists, partisans, trade unionists, Polish intelligentsia and other undesirables were also victims of the hate and aggression carried out by the Nazis.
Under the category of "Espionage," the majority of the links seem to be down, and of the few that do work, most are not particularly useful. The final one, "World War II" by bbc.co, is probably the best. The Winston Churchill website requires you to be a memeber. The Codebreaking site is OK. The Cryptology website is good but very complex to navigate. The National Security Archive has a very good section on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but this is only a small part of the website. The Secrets of War website is useless, attempting to sell you a DVD set. Overall, only a select few of these sites are truly useful.

TECHNOLOGY:
The technology changed dramatically from WWI to WWII. World War 2 began with cavalry, trenches, and out-dated battleships, and just only 6 years later countries had developed jet aircrafts, ballistic missiles, and even atomic weapons. One of the most important developments, even though it was towards the end of the war, was penicillin. It was used to help treat wounds and bacterial diseases. The industrial aspect of technology was also improved. Synthetic rubber was made, which turned out to be a necessity during WWII because not enough rubber was being made at the time to supply all the parts of the vehicles that needed it. The ENIAC and the Colossus were also invented and it helped to decode message and figure out tactics of the enemy. World War 2 allowed the technology of the time to advance into some items in which we still use today.
The military used in WWII included:
- the Navy
- The Army
- the Marines
- the Army Aircorps
the Navy mostly controlled the waters and had air craft carriers in which planes would land and take off from.
The Army was made of infantry men and artillery men that fought on the ground. these men were the main make up of the front lines on the ground. the Army had and still has an elite group of men called Army Rangers. these men would take on special task that required a more well trained soldier.
the marine were also ground troops. they were trained in all types of combat and were the most well rounded soldiers.
there was no Airforce during WWII instead there was the Army Aircorps. this was basically the main air transportation and combat. though the Navy's planes were also a big force in the air. the Aircorps drop paratroopers that were part of the Airborne troops. these troops would be dropped directly into the main brunt of combat.
Countries involvements:
The Royal Canadian Navy’s ‘small-ship’ fleet of destroyers, corvettes, frigates, and minesweepers (supported by maritime patrol bombers of the Royal Canadian Air Force) escorted Allied shipping across the Atlantic and along the northeastern seaboard of North America. Despite early growing pains, the R.C.N. grew into a formidable anti-submarine force. The navy also made major contributions to Allied operations in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the Arctic, and in European waters.
By war’s end, the Royal Canadian Navy, the world’s third-largest fleet, had enlisted some 100,000 men and 6500 women and operated 471 warships and smaller fighting vessels, most Canadian-built. The R.C.N. sank 28 enemy submarines and numerous surface vessels but lost 24 of its own warships. Approximately 2000 Canadian sailors were killed. Another 12,000 Canadians served in the Merchant Navy, of whom more than 1600 died.
New Zeland sended thousands of troop s to help the allies.
Switzerland demonstrated military readiness with the general mobilization in 1939 and border occupation by 430,000 troops (20 % of the employed persons). However, their equipment was not very up to date. Eugen Bircher, a Swiss colonel at the time, probably made a correct assessment of the situation when saying that the Germans would have been able to advance towards the Swiss capital Berne with a single tank regiment easily
Many other countries contributed with smaller amount of regiments and troops.
I didn't mention Germany Britain and France because we all know about it...

This website is on the United States Strategic Bombing Survey Summary Report on the war in the Pacific. It is a copy of the original 1946 version, and it goes in depth on the United States' plans on bombing before and after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It talks about the Japanese's war and bombing plans and the effects the U.S. bombing campaigns had on Japan.
The website is in chronilogical order and it is easy to follow the correct links to the specific information that you want. The guy also has another website on the U.S. strategy in Europe: http://www.anesi.com/ussbs02.htm

PERSONAL ACCOUNTS AND POWS...
The American ex-POWS Organization is about a group of 27,000 POWS from all wars.
The Band of Brothers website is about the trials and tribulations of the easy company of the army. It was also a series on HBO about them.
A lot of these sites are dedicated to reunions of soldiers and ex-POWs.
The WW2 memories website discusses the personal accounts WW2 veterans.
Most of the links seem to work and are extremely interesting for an in depth look into the lives of soldiers from a variety of countries.
Holocaust-
there is an overwhelming quantity of information about the holocaust-the first few sites have dozens of links to others. i found the U.S. holocaust memorial museum website to be extremely interesting in terms of history. despite the fact that nearly half of the links did not work, the majority are worth the vistit. these websites should be researched in depth. there are many interesting facts and pictures regarding the holocaust.
markie thinks shes cool because she uses big words to make her sound better.
Aviation
At the commencement of WWII, American companies needed to produce warplanes efficiently, quickly and in mass quantities. The key was cooperation among aircraft manufacturers in producing top of the line aircraft. American companies like Boeing immediately converted to warfare production and some factories were even disguised from the air by placing fake lawns on rooftops.
Women played a pivotal role in building aircraft when America entered the war and men were shipped overseas. These women boosted production from 60 B-29s per month in 1942 to 362 planes in March of 1944.
In the Pacific, American planes like the CW-21 Demon and F2A Buffalo were clumsy, heavy and poor in comparison with the nimble Japanese planes. But American production soon caught on, and developed the exceptional F4F Wildcat, the Wild Cat Fish (float version of the Wildcat) and finally the F4V Corsair, the best carrier-based fighter in WWII. Afterwards, America excelled in fighters, bombers, cargo, dive bombers, flying boats, seaplanes, reconnaissance and even a few helicopters. The DB-7 twin engine and Boeing B-17 in particular developed reputations of getting crews home even with colossal structural damage.
WWII is known to have been the accelerator of merging computer sciences with jet propulsion technology. German rocket scientists built the V-1 in 1941, which was a pilotless bomber capable of delivering a 1-ton payload 150 miles. This progressed into the V-2, which was TV-guided and could deliver 2,200 lbs of bombs 200 miles in less than 4 minutes. These arrived too late in the war to effect the outcome, though they caused a leap forward in the sciences of aviation.
Particular famous squadrons/ circumstances I came accross: the German night fighters, Japanese Kamikaze, American black-cats, British fighter squadrons in the Battle of Britain, the bombing of Dresden -- the high point of strategic air war in Europe, and much, much more. Feel free to add to this list.

POWs:
Of the approximately 130,000 American prisoners of war in World War II, 27,000 or more were held by Japan. Of the approximately 19,000 American civilian internees held in WWII, close to 14,000 were captured and interned by Japan. After the conclusion of WWII, Congress passed the War Claims Act of 1948, which created a War Claims Commission to pay out small lump-sum compensation payments from a War Claims Fund consisting of seized Japanese, German, and other Axis assets. Payments to POWs held by either Germany or Japan were at the rate of $1 to $2.50 per day of imprisonment. The WCC also paid civilian internees of Japan $60 for each month of internment, and civilians were also eligible for compensation for disability or death. The War Claims Act of 1948 did not authorize compensation for civilian internees held by Germany.

(Propaganda)
(http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/powers_of_persuasion/powers_of_persuasion_intro.html)
Guns, tanks, and bombs were the principal weapons of World War II, but there were other, more subtle forms of warfare as well. Words, posters, and films waged a constant battle for the hearts and minds of the American citizenry just as surely as military weapons engaged the enemy. Persuading the American public became a wartime industry, almost as important as the manufacturing of bullets and planes. The Government launched an aggressive propaganda campaign with clearly articulated goals and strategies to galvanize public support, and it recruited some of the nation's foremost intellectuals, artists, and filmmakers to wage the war on that front.
Government sought to rally public opinion in support of the war's aims; quotes from popular songs and sayings attest to the success of the campaign that helped to sustain the war effort throughout the world-shaking events of World War II.

(propaganda)
(http://members.home.nl/ww2propaganda/)
Allied air forces dropped propaganda pamphlets from planes during WWII. Airdropped leaflets often contained the strategic type of propaganda (aims to influence the target in the long term).
After D-day, many of these propaganda papers were spread over short distances by firing with artillery shells or rockets.
Due to heavy strain on these papers during airdrops, many were destroyed or heavily damaged.
-In the early years of the war, a German spreading these enemy propaganda items on to others could be heavily punished. In the later years of the war, Germans were not even allowed to pick up a leaflet from the ground. So it is understandable that many Germans did not keep leaflets when found. Instead, they often did read them quickly and then, just like the German laws wanted them to, turned them in to the Nazi police after marking the leaflet with the word "Feindpropaganda" ["Enemy propaganda"].

http://hereford.ampr.org/history/portable.html
It is a good website about different types of radio and how they were used.
Technology-
One kind of technology that was used and improved during World War II were the portable radios. There were six different types of radios, four of them are tactical, the other two are not tactical. The tactical ones are:
-The Squad Radio-a small hand held unit for very local communications within ground forces
-VHF FM (wide band) backpack-used for longer distance communications than the squad radio can provide.
-A FAC-for communications with aircraft.
-Special Forces radio-for longer distance communications than the VHF Backpackwould provides.
The non-tactical radios are:
-SAR (Search and Rescue)-used for hurt airmen or any other rescue missions.
-Guard Duty/Fire Rescue/Other Use types-This was used for guard duty, fire rescue missions, or any other various reasons.
That's all the portable radios...and that's all my one page talks about...so yeah, peace...
This following website is a well written, brief article about life at home during WWII:

The U.S. military and navy uses propaganda to invite and appeal to potential soldiers. The sites show heroic videos and stories. Both the U.S. military and navy sites show basic, general information about what the jobs are like: start and end times, places, ect. However, neither show the downsides to fighting in a war or being out on the ocean for months at a time. They do not mention the searing temperatures in Iraq that the soldiers must face.

Espionage
Espionage was very prevalent in WWII in many ways
1) The Enigma Machine- a machine which Germans used to communicate secret messages to eachother which got cracked by the Allies
2) Women Spies- no one would ever see it coming
3) Secret technology- radar, ballistic missiles, spy jet planes, guided smart bombs, secret submarines

The Germans used a secret message machine, the enigma. The Poles cracked the code that the Germans thought was impossible. British ships captured a German abandoned ship and took the Enigma. Germans were the top spymasters in the third Reich. Female spies also unearthed secrets, they supported the resistance and destroyed the morale of the enemy. Women OSS agents dropped behind enemy lines. Female radio operators inside the Third Reich recieved much information. During the "Phony War," many spies, diplomats, agents of influence, intelligence officers, opportunists, chariatans, and statesman to make their move. Methods of fakery and propoganda and also decoy tanks with phony radio broadcasts made much confusion. There was a spy whose lies led Hitler to ruin. Tools of deception was a major weapon. There were primitive baloons to supersonic spy planes and more. Peace Out.
The National Army Security Agency Association is a very good source for information on the history of espionage during WWII. It is very informative and detailed. Unlike many of the other websites in the espionage category, National Army Security Agency Association was helpful, functioning, and did not try to sell you anything. The web site is easy to navigate and very resourceful.
