1.) THESIS STATEMENT - (What will your paper prove?):
The Allies in Europe during World War II fought against the Axis Powers with strategized plans throughout the
battle of the Atlantic, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge.
Thesis Component (Question A) #1
What strategies did the United States use to win the Battle of the Atlantic?
Answer: Quote/ Paraphrase being used to prove Thesis Component #1
My answer: During the Battle of the Atlantic, the U.S imposed the Lend-Lease Act in order to send supplies to
Great Britain and other nations fighting against the Axis Powers. Meanwhile, German U-boats had ambushed
US shipments from underwater, so the convoy system was used in order to counteract the attacks.
Researched Answer: At the time of World War II new technology was made, creating a significant advantage
to those who used it. When Americans adopted Great Britain’s invention of the sonar and radar, it helped US
naval forces scope out German submarines that remained hidden beneath Atlantic waters. Another strategy
Americans had used was fighting from the air. Aircrafts were sent to prevent the sinking of American convoy
ships and to shoot down enemy ships. A German marine officer wrote in his diary during the time of his
struggle against Allied forces:
“The idea of a convoy with its own air defense smashed our basic concept of U-boat warfare. No longer could
we mount a surprise attack or escape without meeting savage counterattacks…”

Thesis: The Allies in Europe during World War II fought against the Axis Powers with strategized plans throughout the battle of the Atlantic, D-Day, and the Battle of the
Bulge.
Component #1/Battle of the Atlantic
Component #1 Battle of the Atlantic
Interpretation: The Battle of the Atlantic during WWII had to be won by the Allies to send supplies from the United
States to Europe. Various causes of losing merchant ships could include mines and being sunk by enemy surface ships.
The sinking of merchant ships increased greatly from submarines from 1939 to 1942. Less ships would be sunk by
submarines because of the convoy system used by the Allies which started hunting and sinking German submarines.
Inventions like radar and sonar helped greatly to find the submarines

Thesis Component (Question B) #2
What strategies did the Allies use on D-Day?
Answer: Quote/ Paraphrase being used to prove Thesis Component #2
My answer: On the first day of invasion, the Allies sent thousands of seaborne soldiers to Normandy’s beaches. Beforehand, troops were
parachuted behind German lines. Allies were given the upper hand of the battle, but suffered heavy casualties, especially along Omaha
beach. Felix Branham wrote about the scene before him during that time stating, “People were yelling, screaming, dying…firing coming
from all directions”. Despite numerous losses, Allies took hold of the beaches and advanced towards France’s capital, Paris. George Patton
led the Third Army division that would advance, and were able to liberate Paris from German occupation
Researched Answer: Due to the inherently chaotic nature of any airborne operation, soldiers of the 82nd and 101st were trained for
situations in which conventional soldiers would seldom find themselves. In the opening hours of D-Day, many troopers ended up alone and
quite often surrounded by the enemy. For this reason, a premium was placed on self-reliance; troopers were highly skilled in land navigation
and the use of explosives and enemy weapons. Every trooper, regardless of rank, was armed with the knowledge of their unit’s objective,
ensuring that even a solitary trooper was capable of completing his unit’s mission, a concept unheard of in the German army. But for the
paratroopers, self-sufficiency came at a price. The average load carried into combat often outweighed the man carrying it. Troopers had
great difficulty climbing aboard their aircraft and required assistance. The heavy load also drowned many paratroopers who landed in the
fields that the Germans had flooded in anticipation of an airborne invasion. However, the mass scattering of paratroopers that occurred on
D-Day was due to the evasive action taken by the C-47s to avoid anti aircraft fire, and ultimately served to convince the Germans that they
were under attack by a much larger force than they actually were.

Thesis:
Picture/Component #2/D-Day
Component #2 D Day
Interpretation: The Allies would drop paratroopers behind enemy lines before D-Day. Paratroopers would drop from airplanes
and/or gliders. Paratroopers were supposed to cut enemy communication lines, perform recon missions and/or sabotage
enemy positions

Thesis Statement Again:

battle of the Atlantic, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge.
Thesis Component (Question C) #3
What strategies did the Allies use in the Battle of the Bulge?
Answer: Quote/ Paraphrase being used to prove Thesis Component #3
My answer: After taking back France, the Allies centered their attention towards the heart of the Axis base in
Berlin, Germany. The month long battle determined the tide of war and the result was German troops
retreating after losing over 120,000 of their men. Once the Allies reached Germany they began liberating death
camps and eventually traveled towards the capital, leading to the fall of Nazi Germany.
Researched Answer: In late 1944, Allied troops advanced towards Germany while managing to take back
German-occupied countries after the invasion of Normandy’s beaches, but advancing armies had little supplies
to rely on. Meanwhile, German leader Adolf Hitler had recognized his armies’ situation and issued for a
counterattack through the Ardennes Forest to retake Antwerp, a significant port Allied forces had recently
reclaimed at the time. During the time of the battle, harsh weather had taken hold of northern Europe which
caused difficulty for soldiers to fight in, along with troops struggling to travel along the snowy terrain. The
German troops sent by Hitler were what remained of his forces, mostly consisting of soldiers who were young
and inexperienced. Some of the Allied divisions were inexperienced as well, including soldiers that were taken
by surprise of Hitler’s counterattack. Although American troops were unprepared, they had enough equipment
to lead them to victory.

Map / Component #3/ Battle of the Bulge
Component #3 : Battle of the Bulge
Interpretation: The Battle of the Bulge was the last German Offensive. The Battle was supposed to be a surprise but was not because
the Germans used the route to previously invade France. The Germans would lose 120,000 troops, 600 tanks and 1600 airplanes which
could not be replaced. The Allied forces would bulge but not break. The Allies suffered great casualties. They did not break because
they were reinforced because of the beaches secured on D-Day and Americans shipping more equipment and supplies
