World War 2


This is what I have learnt about the War:

The War started in 1939 and lasted until 1945. Germany invaded Poland and Britain and France declared war on Germany.
Hitler was the leader of Germany. Germany invaded many Countries and tried to invade Britain. Our planes did a good job and stopped the Germans invading.
Plymouth was bombed heavily by Germany during war. The church in the city centre on the roundabout was bombed. It is still there as a memory of the war. It is called Charles Church.
