Hitler had a pretty big family. It was him, his younger brother Edmund, his younger sister Paula, his mom, his dad, his older half brother Alios jr, and his older half sister Angela. When Edmund was six, he died from measles. Adolf, who was interested in things about war, was devastated. When he was thirteen, his father died, leaving him as leader of the Hitler household.

U boats were used in both wars. Higgins boats were used in WWII. The Higgins boats allowed the Allied troops to go on land with some cover. My Great-Grandpa, on Daddy's side, was on a Higgins boat. He got shot in the leg. He got a Purple Heart.

Good forces, bad forces, they're both fighting because Germany got mad at stuff they had to fix. We can learn from this. History can repeat itself. We don't want a World War three.

The Blitz was when Germany was bombing London. Either they stayed in bomb shelters, or their kids got evacuated and the parents stayed in the bomb shelters.
