Pat,
Kees makes a very good point of using the various figures from the different
countries to illustrate your point.
I would suggest looking at some of the historical speeches. Immediately those
that come to mind are:
FDR: request for a declaration of war against Japan.
Churchill: speech on the fall of France. "Nothing to offer but, blood, sweat
and tears."
Churchill: speech on the Battle of Britian. "Never have so many, owed so much
to so few."
Churchill: speech on the attack of the Germans into Russia.
Others should include some of Hitler's speeches immediately before Munich and
in August of 1939.
Another approach: Invite a veteran to come speak to the class. Ask him when
he found out about the Holocaust. Perhaps a panel of veterans or others from
that time. Maybe you can find someone who worked on an assembly line during
the war.
I hope this helps.

The IJN lost their carriers at Midway!
They lost their pilots in the Battles around Guadalcanal!

The USN pilots gained experience at Midway and around Guadalcanal!

Does almost count?
Or, Does it just scare the daylights out of you?
