Blitzkrieg: Invasion of Poland

RADIO SHOW

Associated Press Wire Services. London England July This evening the German Luftwaffe began unrestrained bombing of civilian disticts in London. Citizens flooded the subway stations to wait out the raid. Sirens wailed as anti aircraft guns awakened to the defense of the realm. Squadrons of RAF fighters were at once dispatched from undisclosed locations on the Isle.

By dawn the German bombers had devastated several London districts including Knight’s Bridge, Hyde Park and Chelsea. Winston Churchill has inaugurated the Battle of Britain and morale is high. The people are eager to dig in and face the worst that Germany has to offer. As Hitler’s storm troopers have overrun every corner of the Continent, England alone stands as a bulwark against Nazi aggression in Europe. Our hearts and thoughts go out to these brave cousins across the sea.

The Battle for Britain

VERSUS

Imagine that you are a member of Congress. You have been a strong supporter of U.S. isolationism up to now. It is now June 1940, and France has fallen to the Nazis. President Roosevelt is interested in gauging congressional support for taking steps to help Britain, the last country standing in Hitler’s way. Using your phones, you will vote on whether you believe the U.S. should change course and help Britain, or remain neutral and isolated.

Do Nothing: England falls, U.S. invaded

Declare War: Isolationist Americans are not ready to support war. Civil unrest breaks out following the declaration of war against Germany, allowing demagogue Huey Long to seize power and establish a dictatorship in the United States.

Provide material support: Lend-Lease Act

After the Fall of France in 1940, with England standing alone against Germany in Europe, Hitler began a daily bombing blitz of England.

Desperate for supplies to protect England, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill implored Roosevelt for assistance to fight off Germany’s expected invasion. Winston Churchill

By the end of 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt had no doubt that the U.S. needed to throw its support behind England.

Even though sympathies were starting to sway, their was still a strong isolationist sentiment in the United States.

Congress had passed the Neutrality Acts to keep America neutral during the WWII conflict.

Roosevelt had to find a way to provide supplies to Churchill and still skirt the objections of isolationists.

Roosevelt came up with the Lend-Lease Program. In exchange for the lease of some British islands in the Caribbean Sea, the U.S. provided England with ships and munitions.

Technically skirting the Neutrality laws, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act in March 1941 after a bitter debate.

Roosevelt had found a way to assist the English people. The Lend-Lease Act provided crucial military supplies for Great Britain’s fight against Nazi Germany.
