Today in English for sustained silent reading, I was curious about World War II and decided to read about facts on a website called weird and rare facts about World War II. Here are some of the facts I read about.
1. Adolf Hitlers nephew, William Hitler, served US Navy during World War II
2. The siege of Stalingrad resulted in more Russian deaths (military and civilian) then the US and Britain sustained combined in all of World War II
3. They youngest serviceman in the US military was Calvin Graham aged 12, who lied about his age when he enlisted in the US Navy.
4. In 1941, more than 3 million cars were manufactured in the US. Only 139 cars were manufactured in the entirety of World War II
