HW 8

1.)
A.) The sources are anonymous because of the over arching nature that the Nazis had over the media. Had anyone given their name, the Gestapo would surely had them killed. The picture of Warsaw just goes to show the extent of which German forces besieged the city. The stories were eventually published in Britain in 1940 to help draw attention to the war effort.
B.) Bombing was considered a humane part of the war effort because it was only intended to destroy buildings, but it obviously killed people too. The bombing campaign did end up killing people which would make it an inhumane attack.
C.) The constant air raids caused many Britons to fear bombings. Britons seemed to adjust their lives, just with the addition of gas masks and other equipment. It was called the Phoney War because the people didn't change their behaviour that much.

2.)
A.) Churchill offered the British people a hope after German aggression had decimated parts of England. The British were desperate for help and hope after a morale of the country had gone down.
B.) An armada is a large group of ships which implies that the effort to save all the people was much larger than it may have been. The title would have been written much differently by both the French reporter and the German reporter.
