    Axis Blitzkrieg: Warsaw and Battle of Britain

    Axis Blitzkrieg: Warsaw and Battle of Britain By Skyla Gabriel and Hannah Seidl Background on Axis Blitzkrieg ● A military strategy specifically designed to create disorganization in enemy forces by logical firepower and mobility of forces ● Limits civilian casualty and waste of fire power ● Developed in Germany 1918-1939 as a result of WW1 ● Used in Warsaw, Poland in 1939, then with eventually used in Belgium, the Netherlands, North Africa, and even against the Soviet Union Hitler’s Plan and “The Night Before” ● Due to the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, once the Polish state was divided up, Hitler would colonize the territory and only allow the “superior race” to live there and would enslave the natives. ● On August 31, 1939 Hitler ordered Nazi S.S. troops,wearing Polish officer uniforms, to sneak into Poland. ● The troops did minor damage to buildings and equipment. ● Left dead concentration camp prisoners in Polish uniforms ● This was meant to mar the start of the Polish Invasion when the bodies were found in the morning by Polish officers Initial stages ● Initially, one of Hitler’s first acts after coming to power was to sign a nonaggression pact (January 1934) with Poland in order to avoid a French- Polish alliance before Germany could rearm. ● Through 1935- March 1939 Germany slowly gained more power through rearmament (agreed to by both France and Britain), Germany then gained back the Rhineland through militarization, annexation of Austria, and finally at the Munich Conference they were given the Sudetenland. ● Once Czechoslovakia was dismembered Britain and France responded by essentially backing Poland and Hitler responded by signing a non-aggression with the Soviet Union in the summer of 1939 ● The German-Soviet pact agreed Poland be split between the two powers, the new pact allowed Germany to attack Poland without fear of Soviet intervention The Attack ● On September 1st, 1939 Germany invaded Warsaw, Poland ● Schleswig-Holstein, a German Battleship at 4:45am began to fire on the Polish garrison in Westerplatte Fort, Danzig.

    Sixth Form Curriculum Guide 2018 Admissions THE SIXTH FORM AT BERKHAMSTED Sixth Form can bring some of the happiest days as students benefit from a real sense of purpose in preparing for the next phase of life and an increasing sense of responsibility as they act as role models and take on leadership positions. The main aim of Berkhamsted Sixth is to produce confident, ambitious, well-qualified and happy individuals who have the skills to rise to the challenges of the modern and ever-changing world. As nearly all our students go on to higher education, the Sixth Form has a strong academic focus. A level work is challenging and requires a high level of motivation and responsibility. Self-discipline is crucial, as is a willingness to be fully involved in academic study. Sixth Form students will receive encouragement and support to achieve their potential in their A levels, but they also need to commit themselves to working hard over two years. The Sixth Form also aims to develop other interests and skills - academic, cultural, physical and social. It is a time when the individual can explore ideas and learn to think independently in preparation for university and the professional world. Initiative, creativity and the enhancement of academic and professional skills are encouraged. We hope students will enjoy their time in the Sixth Form and feel able to make contributions to life at the school. Essentially, the Sixth Form provides invaluable preparation for life in the adult world. The strong House system is a key feature of the Sixth Form which helps the students to gain a sense of belonging to a community.
