Wow, you need to just google or Wikipedia all of that. Good luck.

I think you'd be more successful in getting your answers if you would just ask one or two at a time. It's not really fair to expect anyone to do such a huge assignment for you, is it?
Please check your textbook. I'm sure this is all in there.

Have you not read your textbook all quarter? This is no way to get an education. By the way why would you trust anonymous strangers to do your homework. You don't know if they know what they are talking about. Crack a book and get offline.

All the names are associated with interesting things. There are movies about it, and pictures.
Plus, once you know more about it, you will catch on to references other people make, in cartoons, probably anime, online, just in life.
Stalin was a mind-boggling person (there's a hint already: he was a person).
All the W- names have to do with WOMEN.
What kinna sickness?
Normandy -- think "Saving Private Ryan"
There was recently a big Pearl Harbor movie.
The atom bomb rings a bell? Maybe you're too young to have heard of it.
Thank God we have stopped worrying about being killed by one at any moment.
There wer POW camps here in CO, and an internment camp in Idaho (AIR!) Not one of the US's brighter decisions.
Internment camps were scattered all over the interior West, in isolated desert areas of Arizona, California, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and Wyoming, where Japanese-Americans were forced to carry on their lives under harsh conditions. Executive Order 9066 was rescinded by President Roosevelt in 1944, and the last of the camps was closed in March, 1946.

Iwo Jimo is where they raised the US flag, the pose copied for flag-raising at World Trade Towers.
But that was back in 2001, a whole 7 years ago. You might have been just in elementary school, a mere child.
Best wishes.

Erwin Rommel was a German general and later Field Marshal, a veteran of WWI (ironically on the Italian front) who led the 7th Panzer Division in France in 1940. He was a brilliant tactician, and his rapid advance from the Ardennes behind the Allied troops defending the northern borders of France against an anticipated rerun of the WWI German attack plans was instrumental in causing the collapse of the French. He was famous for his spectacular rates of advance and his ablilty to motivate troops.

In Feb. 1941 he was sent to North Africa to help the failing Italian forces hold off the 8th Army. Despite having very limied resources and being told to remain on the defensive he tool advantage of British overconfidence and long supply lines to counterattack and drive them back almost to their starting point. The see saw battles in the desert saw him plan and excecute bold attacks that were textbook examples of blitzkreig. He was a daring and innovative leader, but he too overextended his forces and was beaten at El Alamain in Dec. 1942. Forced to retreat, he fought skillful delaying actions and gave the new US forces a bloody nose at Kasserine Pass before being evacuated back to Europe in Jan 1943.

The long hours and stress of the campaign took their toll. He needed a long recouperation before his next assignment, the command of aromured forces covering the Atlantic Wall in western France. Having experienced the devestating effect of Allied airpower, he argued with the overall German commander about where to position the armoured forces. He thought the idea of two or three large reserve forces well behind the beaches who would race to the invasion site was flawed-they would be shot to pieces from the air and would be isolated by blown bridges and rail lines. His idea was to break up the tanks into smaller units stationed right on the beaches to intervene immediately and in some sectors this was done (luckily for the Allies not in Normandy). He was again worn out and dispirited by this struggle and increasingly saw the futility of carrying on with the war. He joined the July 20th plot to kill Hitler and when it failed he was forced to commit suicide to save his wife and son. His role in the plot was kept from the Germans as he was one of their biggest heroes in the war.

My favourite story about him showed his initiative and daring. He made dummy tanks from cars and trucks in Feb 1941 to trick the British into thinking his forces were much larger.

Erwin Rommel, German, very fierce commander, called the desert fox. Nearly took over africa if it wasn't for a British magician (jasper something) He I think had to commit sucide after a failed assisination attempt on Hilter.
Eisnehower, one of the ones responible for d day, because pres later, actually wrote his letter of resination before d day.

ok the rest is up to you and wikapedia. really the answers are all right there just type in the name and press search.

Looks to me like some one has home work and doesn't want to read the book. Read the book. That's where the answer is.
