On December 8, 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt declares war on
Japan
In 1933, Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany, and under
Nazi power, Germany began to rearm and pursue new foreign
policy by demanding the cession territories which were
historically a part of Germany.
Italy and Germany (Hitler) Japan’s allies, declared war on the
United States on December 11, 1941, making the U.S. a full
partner in the war against Germany.

In February 19, 1942, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt signed Executive Order No. 9066,
which forced around 120,000 JapaneseAmericans in the western part of the United
States to relocate.
This was the result of prejudice and wartime
hysteria after Pearl Harbor was bombed
Japanese-Americans had to
surrender their photo cameras (and
radios) to the U.S. authorities who
confiscated it.

The turning point in World War II in Europe
Russia defeated Germany and after this defeat, the Germany Army was in
full retreat
Stalingrad was also an important target as it was Russia’s centre of
communications in the south as well as being a centre for manufacturing.
The Germans simply did not have enough manpower to cope with the
Russian advance to Germany when it came
This is what remained of this city after the Battle for
Stalingrad
The Battle of Stalingrad gave us all hope. Hope that the
war would end and everything would be back to normal. The
Germans and the Japanese would be defeated.
Some of the most brutal fighting
took place at Stalingrad. Seen
here are the Russian soldiers
turning the tide.

Considered one of the greatest defeats in the history of the British Army
and probably Britain’s worst defeat in World War II
Clearly illustrated the way Japan was to fight in the Far East– a
combination of speed and savagery that only ended with the use of the
atomic bomb on Hiroshima in August 1945.
The attack on Singapore lasted from 8 February 1942 to 15 February 1942

When I heard about the Battle of Singapore I
was shocked. This gave the Japanese more military
power.
Dear Helen,
I miss you dearly and I can’t wait till all this gets over
with. I’m now part of the 42nd Infantry Regiment of the
United States Army. I believe serving for my country is
freedom for not only me and my family but for every
citizen of the United States. I know it will be hard to
understand, but my decision is made up.
However this decision isn’t easy, for you and the rest of
my family are now being forced to relocate because the
Executive Order 9066. I can’t explain how confused I am
about all this. I’m trying to do what’s right and they send
my family to be relocated in camps.
We have landed in North France. It’s very hard to
determine whether we are going to win the war right now,
German resistance is very strong. However we were able to
move steadily forward in all sectors against fierce German
resistance.
I hope to see you soon.
With all my love,
James Lee
Dear James Lee,
It seems as to me that there is no hope for
the Japanese Americans here in the United
States. We were forced to relocate and had 48
hours to do so. We were allowed only one
suitcase each. We had to sell the house for one
fourth of what we bought it and we lost the
business.
It is tough. Leaving all I have known to be
relocated as a prisoner. Its unfair! I am very
angry at the government, but I can’t do
anything about it. I must keep quite and
there's been a lot of prejudice since Pearl
Harbor. I won’t lose my faith however, I will
fight for my rights.
I love you,
Helen
Dear Helen,
As we received word to scramble from camp, my best friend from
boot camp had lost a duffle(his clothing and equipment). My transport
was forced to leave without me; the Lieutenant told me I could ride in his
jeep, which was supposed to be reserved for officers only. We finally
found the duffle, my friend and I hopped into the Lt's jeep with the driver,
and we fell in line with the convoy. Several hours into the trip, the road
was ambushed by German forces, hiding out along the hillside. An
explosion from a mortar forced their jeep off the road into a ravine several
hundred feet. it all went down so quickly. His best friend was nowhere to
be found; later it was discovered that out of the four occupants of the
jeep, my grandfather was the only survivor.
I’m getting sent home. I will be landing in Texas first and then at
Long Beach California, where the only Veterans Administration
hospital is located. I’m very happy to be going home, but I’m terribly afraid
I might be in a wheelchair and be paralyzed from the waist down. I lost my
left arm from the accident.
Coming Home Soon,
James Lee

safer because I’m
