What was kristallnacht

History

What was <em>Kristallnacht</em>?  It was a night of violence and destruction targeted against Jews in Nazi Germany in 1938.  In that night and its aftermath:

  • Over 7,000 Jewish businesses were vandalized.
  • Over a thousand synagogues were destroyed.
  • About 100 Jews were killed.  
  • Thousands of Jews were sent to concentration camps.

Context/details:

In November, 1938, there was rampant destruction of Jewish-owned businesses and synagogues and violence against Jewish people.  This occurred on the night of November 9 going on into November 10, 1938, and was called "<em>Kristallnacht,</em>" or "The Night of Broken Glass."   It was public violence by masses of people, not a specific campaign ordered by the Nazi regime. However, Nazi officials did tell police and firefighters to do nothing -- to let the violence and destruction occur.  The next day, Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda, said that this sort of eruption against the Jews was natural and understandable.  He said:  "It is an intolerable state of affairs that within our borders and for all these years hundreds of thousands of Jews still control whole streets of shops, populate our recreation spots and, as foreign apartment owners, pocket the money of German tenants, while their racial comrades abroad agitate for war against Germany."

In the days after <em>Kristallnacht, </em>the Nazi government said that the Jewish community itself was responsible for all the damage and destruction, and imposed enormous fines against the Jewish community.  They also arrested more than 30,000 Jewish men and sent them to concentration camps which were built to incarcerate Jews and any others that the Nazis perceived to be enemies of the German state.

What were some of the dangers posed by the island hopping strategy?
suter [353]
Some dangers included:

1) Isolated enemy troops: They can still do damage on supply routes, wreak havoc whenever allied troops landed there, and, if they had a way, travel back home to become reinforcements for the enemies.

2) longer supply routes: As land in between the major islands (that the US have taken) is still teeming with enemies, it would mean that ships and airplanes would not be able to be as safe, or make a landfall to get more freshwater or other supplies on board.
