The R.A.F
The R.A.F pilots were a group of soldiers who flew
in bomber planes, attempting to bomb the enemy
from above. The name R.A.F stands for the Royal
British Airforce.
The Royal British Airforce
Were a big part of our
Win against Germany,
and without them
we would probably
speak German.
Rationing
Food and clothes were rationed so that there was enough food,
and enough clothes.
The reason food was rationed was because the Germans
destroyed the boats carrying our supplies and we had little left.
The reason clothes were rationed is so that parachutes could be
made with the material instead of clothes, and children could
only have new have clothes if it was absolutely necessary.
Factories
• Women were sent to factories to
work.
• They had to work tirelessly to make
things like ammo and parachutes.
• The women were determined to
help save the men.
War-time cooking
In the war supplies were short so we had
to make basic dishes, for example…
LORD WOOLTONS VEGETABLE
PIE,MACARONI AND BACON
DISH,PARSNIP PUDDING, CARROT
COOKIES,POTATO PIGLETS, LIVER
SAVOURY,CHEESE PUDDING and
SKIRLY-MIRLY, and sometimes they
weren’t very nice.
A child’s perspective of
war
• Most children involved in war
felt insecure and unstable,
worrying about family
members fighting or in danger.
The war shook them all up, and
left some without parents.
Hitler
Adolf Hitler was born on 20th of
April 1889. Hitler was a serial
prankster, often playing jokes on
his generals. Hitler led the Nazis
in an invasion of Britain. Hitler
committed suicide 10 days after
his 56th birthday (the 30th April
1945).
Churchill and
Chamberlain
• Chamberlain was
England's Prime Minister
when the war started,
but Churchill took over
near to the end of the
war.
Evacuees
• Evacuees were children who were taken
away from their families, and placed with
another one in the country ,until it was safe
to go back to their home town.
• Evacuees all had mixed emotions about
their new homes. Some loved it, were
treated well and wanted to stay ,but others
hated it and were used for unpaid labour
(Work that you don’t get paid for).
How the war started
• Germany wanted to take revenge for
Germany’s defeat in the Great War by
expanding Germany’s empire.
• In 1938, the Nazi party invaded Austria
and then on the 15th March 1939 they
invaded Czechoslovakia (Now 2
countries called the Czech republic
and Slovakia.)
Why it ended
The war ended because the
United States used atomic
weapons. On 8 May 1945,
people accepted Germany’s
surrender, about a week after
Adolf Hitler had committed
suicide.
Always remember your pride in our
country...
