Hitler’s Lightning War World War II Hitler’s Lightning War

Setting The Stage During the 1930s, Hitler played on the hopes and fears of the Western democracies. Each time the Nazi dictator grabbed new territory, he would declare an end to his demands. Peace seemed guaranteed– until Hitler moved again. After his moves into the Rhineland, Austria, and Czechoslovakia, Hitler turned his eyes to Poland. After WWI, the Allies had cut out the Polish Corridor from German territory to give Poland access to the sea. In 1939, Hitler demanded that the Polish Corridor be returned to Germany…

Hitler’s Blitzkrieg Invasion of Poland: Hitler’s Blitzkrieg: September 1, 1939 Hitler invades Poland and begins a merciless bombing of the capital of Warsaw France and GB declare war on Germany on Sept 3 Poland will fall to Hitler’s army long before GB and France can mobilize Hitler’s Blitzkrieg: “Lightning war”- use fast moving tanks and airplanes followed by massive infantry forces Catch enemies off guard and overwhelm them Worked to perfection in Poland…

Soviets Make Move Stalin Attacks Poland Soviets Attack Finland Stalin sends troops to occupy eastern half of Poland September 17, 1939 Stalin then annexes Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania – all fall without a struggle Attempt to regain land lost after WWI Soviets Attack Finland Expect Finland to fall quickly- soviets not prepared for winter war Finns put up a strong fight- army on skies attack the slow soviet army Stalin forced to use nearly 1 million troops March 1940 Soviets make Finns sign surrender

War Comes to France German Offensive: Rescue at Dunkirk: Germany sweeps the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg- Keeping the Allies attention on those countries sent a larger force through Northern France Troops head north- force French troops into a corner, with their backs against the sea…. Rescue at Dunkirk: May 1940 German forces force French out of Lille, to the beaches of Dunkirk French army is trapped British send a make-shift fleet to rescue the French troops 850 ships consisting of navy, civilian ships, yachts, life boats, and fishing boats rescue nearly 340,000 troops

France Falls Resistance after Dunkirk: Charles De Gaulle After Dunkirk French Resistance crumbled Germans took Paris by June 14, 1940 June 22, 1940 French leaders surrendered Germany only occupied the northern part of France Charles De Gaulle French General Established a gov’t in exile in London Continued to urge French people to resist the Germans Organized the Free French military forces Continued to battle the Nazis until France’s liberation in 1944

Hitler Turns to Great Britain Winston Churchill: British Prime Minister Declared GB would never give in “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets…we shall never surrender.”
