Higgins Boats

New Orleans, LA 70130 print.
B. During World War II on D-day one of the best inventions in boats to help the U.S
military win the war was the Higgins Flat bottom boat. These boats were designed
to carry men further to land than regular boats; they were called the Higgins
Flat boats. These boats were designed by a man named Andrew Jackson Higgins.
Although his creation was a great advantage to the U.S army it was difficult to
get the U.S military’s attention and plus he had was competing with other
companies. In the end his company won and got the military’s attention. In 1938,
he operated a single boatyard employing less than 75 workers. By late 1943, his
seven plants employed more than 25,000 workers. The Higgins workforce was the
first in New Orleans to be racially integrated. Higgins employees included
whites, blacks, men, women, seniors, and people with disabilities. All were paid
equal wages according to their job functions. They responded by shattering
production records, turning out more than 20,000 boats—12,500 of them LCVPs—by
the end of the war. During the war, Higgins’ name became indelibly tied to his
landing craft. Men did not come ashore in LCVPs; they traveled in “Higgins
boats.”
C. The Higgins boat was designed for carrying U.S militants to the land so they can
fight for their country and also it has a flat bottom so it can carry the
solders further to land than any other ships that they have that’s why the
Higgins boat was very useful to the American military and to help win the
war.
D. This source was helpful for me because it taught me more about what that boat
was and how it helped the US in World War II. Also it shows you who the creator
of the boats was and how his business started from them bottom to helping the
U.S military win the World War II. Also this source shows the amount of workers
that were coming in the beginning of the business to when it became a big hit,
it shows the year it started and the year when it started to progress around
America and where it all started, which is New Orleans home of Higgins

New technology meant new techniques such as mouse holing Mouse-holing is a
tactic used in urban warfare, in which soldiers create access to adjoining rooms
or buildings by blasting or tunneling. This is different from ww1 because in ww1
we weren’t able to go underground or use tunneling; in ww2 we had the ability to
adjoin buildings which gave us a lead in war. Another technique was lightning
warfare a technique used to kill more men in war. This was different from ww1
because without this technique it would have been more difficult for us to kill
all those men. This source was reliable because it give accurate information on

U-boats

In the article this story gives a lot of information to people
seeking information about World War II and German U – Boats. This article was a
useful source in research of the German submarines known as the U – Boats, plus
this seems like a reliable source about the war. And the goal of this source was
to go back in history and talk to survivors of World War II and what the
experienced in that time period. This source was helpful to me because in the
end it gave me sort of a feeling of how powerful the u boats were and just why
they helped and aided Germany’s combat skills in the war. Also it has changed my
perspective of how I saw Germany’s defense system and just how lethal it

Appeasement
"Appeasement:causes of the Second World War." Hindsight Jan. 2008: S28+. General OneFile. Web. 30
2013
Appeasement [causes of the second world war] this
is about a little background information on Hitler and how that appeasement was
already in to action in world war two. Also it talk about why Hitler wanted to go
into world and how he thought that he was going to die because of the way his
parents died and how the world started.
I think this source appeasement cause of the second world war is a credible source
because the source was updated recently and it is a document article and it is
part of the gale power research. Another reason why I think this is a credible
source is because it have the dates and pointed information on the start of the
world.
Concentration camps
Wyszogrod, Morris. Morris Wyszogrod, graphic designer, Holocaust survivor Steven Heller. September-October 1998.
This article describes the holocaust through the eyes of another survivor. It tells
the story of his experience during the holocaust and how his skill in graphic
design helped save his life. Morris was skilled in graphic design, and was able
to get jobs that used this skill in the death camp to keep him alive. He drew
art for Germans that worked there and had to fight to get materials in order to
continue creating art and therefor survive. This shows that the Nazis where
much more forgiving to the Jews that had skills they could gain from. This source was useful because unlike the article “I will survive: one girl’s life in
a Nazi Death Camp”, it showed yet another way people in the holocaust where able
to survive. In “I will survive: one girl’s life in a Nazi Death Camp” it showed
how Kor pushed through the danger and pain as a kid, but in this interview we
can see that Morris was able to survive using a skill that the Nazis found
interesting. This article is reliable because I used ICONN.org, a web site that
I believe uses reliable sources. I also checked the author and found that he
writes a long range of articles on various different topics and is a very
experienced author. The magazine known as “Print” which this article was written
for is mostly made up of international political issues and articles on the art
of the past and present, so they would be experts on a political issue such as
the holocaust especially when interviewing a victim of this horrible event.
German Children
"Infamous Nazis' children face their inheritance in new film." World War II May-June 2010: 12+. General
OneFile. Web. 30 May 2013.
Years after the war German children who were too young to fight in World War ll had
to wrestles with the legacy of Hitler’s regime. Zeevi’s
film, Hitler’s children planned for release later this same year. Well
over 60 years on not wanting to be filmed there are children of senior Nazis for
Hitler’s circle who will not speak in front of camera’s.
This source was helpful to me because it told me how Hitler impact kids at a young age life. It
answers my question because in the article it tells me about the kids and the
things they went threw during the World War ll. I learned that kids had went
threw something that no young kids should ever have to go threw at that age and
that we should be grateful that we didn’t have to do the things they
did.
Hitler
"How did Hitler become dictator of Germany in 1933-34?" Hindsight Jan. 2008: S48+. General OneFile. Web. 30 May 2013.
This article talks about how Hitler became dictator of Germany in 1933 – 1934 In
January 1933 Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. The Nazis were only one party
of many and Hitler was not firmly in control. However, by the end of 1934,
Germany had become a one party state, with Hitler its dictator. Hitler was empowered to pass laws for four years, without interference from the Reichstag. The Enabling Law brought the Weimar Constitution to an end and gave
Hitler the means to become a dictator.
Hitler destroyed rivals to his power inside the Nazi Party.
This supports my topic because it has something to do with the Nazi Party and how it impacted the Anti-Nazis also its
giving me information I never knew about and wasn’t expecting to learn or read about .
Health
Doctors
Doctor Resources
Renner, Michael. "Resource Wars The Facts." (2004)
This article talks about how doctors were needed almost all the time during World War
II. It talks about how the death rate was high even with doctors, and would’ve
been unimaginable without them. The point of this article is to inform the
reader about how important doctors were during World War II. The article is
mainly about how many of the injured soldiers were constantly in need of a
doctor and there weren’t always enough doctors to attend every patient at once.
As a result of that, there was a very high rate of death and a loss of
soldiers.
This article was very useful because it provides many useful statistics and graphs as
well as enriching text that described doctors during World War II. This source
stood out compared to the other articles that I was going to use because in this
source because in this article, it not only contains text, but it also has many
graphs and statistics that help the reader gain knowledge about how important
doctors were during World War ll. This source was very reliable because it was
found on iconn.org, which is a website that finds articles that are legit and
reliable. The author wrote this article to inform the reader about how important
doctors were during the War.
Doctor Knowledge
"WWII Archives." 1944. Archives Web Site. 28 May 2013 <http://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww2/photos/#aid>.
These three photos offer a wide range of content covering the importance of doctors
during World War II . The topics that are covered in these photos are surgery,
in – battle assistance, and life or death situations that the doctors influence:
whether the patient lives or dies. Overall, these photos cover a wide range of
knowledge that the viewer would gain if he or she was examining
these.
This website offers very enriching content that covers a wide range of World War II
medical knowledge. To compare this source with the other ones that I was
researching, this one stood out because it is not only reliable but it offers
very in depth an “in the moment” scenes from World War II that involve doctors.
The obvious reason that the source is reliable is because the three photos were
found on a government website. The purpose of the government putting this on
their website was to have records of World War 2 and also so that American
citizens can view them.
This source answers my inquiry question because the content of the three photos show
how soldiers would have zero chance of living without doctors at their
assistance. This source was very helpful to me because the photos offer a wide
range of content that shows just how important doctors were during World War II.
From this source, I have learned two things. First, I learned that doctors were
very important during World War II. I have also learned that doctors and medical
supplies are very different than from today.
STD
STD Propaganda
Stampler, Laura. These Are The Military's Jaw-Dropping Propaganda Posters Against WW2
Soldiers' Real Enemy: STDs. 24 March 2012. 23 May 2013
<http://www.businessinsider.com/ww2-military-propaganda-posters-against-stds-2012-3?op=1>.
The propaganda poster about STDs really shows how bad these
diseases were during WWll. They usually show a woman with men in the armed
forces “drooling” over her. The posters have very useful information though. One
of them said that 98% of procurable women have an STD, so what are the chances
that the men won’t get one? Most of the posters are just saying to stay away
from prostitutes or you’ll get a venereal disease (STD) and to get prophylaxis
(condoms) to prevent it.
This source is useful because the posters give people a good idea
on how dangerous “good time” girls can be. The posters were made during World
War ll so they are very accurate. Stampler is an advertising reporter for
Business Insider and before that she was a reporter for The Huffington Post. The
goal of this source was to remind people how grim STDs are and for the men
serving to stay abroud.
These propaganda posters were really helpful because they taught
people how alarming these diseases were during WWll. These posters answered my
inquiry question fully; STDs were very severe during WWll. They showed that most
men had a venereal disease because they would easily trick the women.
Sex Crimes

Yamaguchi and Foster's article explains how Osaka Mayor Toru
Hashimoto apologized for saying that U.S troops should see adult entertainment
as a way to reduce sex crimes. However, he denied the fact that Japan had sex
slaves for the soldiers during WWll. Hashimoto says that the use of the women
was necessary to provide "relaxation" for the soldiers.
This source is useful because it shows that there were sex slaves
used during WWll and that it was a big issue. The article was written just
yesterday so it is very current. The authors are reporters that get the stories
about politics, etc. The goal of this source was to inform the public about what
is being brought up from the past from WWll.
This article was helpful because it taught people that sex slaves
were a huge problem during WWll. It didn't answer my inquiry question fully but
it gave me a decent understanding. It showed me that my topic is more serious
than I thought

Kevin Chappell’s article explains the roles of black African American soldiers during
World War II and how people viewed them. The article covers what the black
soldiers did, what they accomplished, and how white soldiers and other people
thought of their achievements. It is an interesting text that reveals black
soldiers in a way that isn’t often talked about.
This is a reliable source because the author, Kevin Chappell, is an award winning
author and veteran. He has interviewed many famous political figures including
George Bush, and Barack Obama. He even covered the war in Iraq. The source is
useful because it provides a feel for how black people were treated during WWII.
Chappell’s article was helpful in understanding how black people were treated
and viewed in WWII. Overall from reading the article, I’ve come to understand that black
soldiers accomplished many things during the war that the white soldiers
couldn’t, despite the white soldiers’ belief that they would be unsuccessful.
Many soldiers individually received honors and awards for their services, but
not one of them got a Congressional Medal of Honor. This ties to my inquiry
question because I now see that despite their race, black soldiers were very
accomplished. They did gain respect from the white soldiers.
History, A. I. (1870- 1930). Black, White & Beyond. Retrieved 29 5, 2013, from
industrial Age:<http://learn.uakron.edu/beyond/industrialAge.htm>.
The main arguments made in this source are that, more than 6 million African Americans
were affected by World War II and they decided to migrate to cities that were in
the north. This website showed that if something as bad as World War II happened
again, you need to have somewhere to go, where you know that you can keep your family
safe and you know that they can have a better life.
This source was very useful. This doesn’t compare to some of the other sites that I
had seen before. This information is reliable to anyone that would look at it.

bravely fought abroad--while their country discriminated against them at home."
2 January 2012. Junior Scholastic.29 May 2013<http://place.scholastic.com/>.
Welty’s article is a script of the Tuskegee airmen’s story, “Red Tails”. It is a brief
portion of the script with a short description of the event that took place in
real life. It describes how the airmen were discriminated against and how they
fought to prove the others wrong.
This source is reliable because Tara Welty is a famous award-winning author whom
works for scholastic. She also was Assistant Editor for social studies at
Harcourt School Publishers.
This article helped to answer my inquiry question because it showed how the Tuskegee
airmen were criticized and discriminated against during the time of WWII. One
statement that stuck out was that “African-American soldiers have fought in
every war in U.S. history. But for centuries they were not treated as equals.”
Another statement that I found interesting was that “By the end of 1939, World
War II had begun in Europe. Although the U.S. was not yet involved, it began to
build up its military. Black soldiers served in segregated units and were barred
from the Air Corps.” This article has made it obvious that black people still were
not treated completely equally despite their services.

GPS&sw=w>.
Jason R. McCammack’s article “Women make WAVES in World War II” offers information on
women in the military in WWII. It explains that women, who were in the military,
often served as navy seals and contributed to winning the war and helping the
U.S when they were short of soldiers. 84,000 women enlisted in the war and they
risked their lives to save the country’s democracy philosophy. One of the
remarkable skills these women had while serving in the NAVY were being code
breakers. Code breakers were people who solved German’s secret messages. This
source gave a lot of valuable information; it explained the importance of women
in the military, their skills, and their courageousness.

&u=s0000&it=r&p===GPS&sw=w>.
Mizrahi’s article, “The WASP Women Airforce Service Pilots” offers information
about another area of the army that women enlisted in; the AirForce. This
article explains that the U.S. was having a shortage of trained pilots to serve
in the army. Women were trained to become professional pilots which was a big
risk in WWII because the planes that they were flying were very dangerous. The
women were basically on a suicide missions, but they would do whatever they
could to serve their country. Men disagreed with women being in the Air Force
because they felt that they were not fit for the job and that they were taking
the place of men in the army. Women never got recognized for their superior
accomplishments in the air force and were treated unfairly but they still fought
to serve their country. This article and the author is a reliable source because
he knows a lot about aircrafts and the air force. This article also helps to
show the importance that women have during WWII and it helped to solve my
inquiry question. It was valuable information and a lot was learned about the
history of women during WWII and how they were the key to winning the
war.

This National Archives article about the women’s effect on the war is very
informational because it talks about the specific impact. For example, this
article talks about how Mobile, Alabama was affected during World War 2. This
was a very helpful source. Even though it only focused on one section of one
state, this article does do a good job of explaining exactly how Mobile,
Alabama, was affected by the war.
The website is reliable because it’s a partof the national archives. The National Archives
is the official national government record keeper. This corporation holds all of the nation’s important
writings. The main goal of the writing was to educate the reader about the impact that women
had outside the home using any primary source that they have about this topic.

This article is mainly discussed how hard it was for women to start working in
factories during WWII. The main purpose of this web page was to educate the
reader about how women were viewed during WWII. The topics covered throughout
this article were how Rosie the Riveter came about, what types of women went to
work (by race, age, social class, marital status), and how the government and
society reacted to the recruitment of women to the workforce. Overall, this
source was really useful. This source is pretty equal with the other sources
that was used for this annotated bibliography. This source was credible because
the URL ends in a .gov which means that it is a website that was published
under the government’s authority. This source was helpful to the research
because it gave information about how women were treated. This source helped to
answer the inquiry question, which was “since WWII, how has a woman’s role
during wartime change outside the home” because it gave insight on the topic of
women outside of the home.

source is because it have the dates and pointed information on the start of the
world.
Concentration camps
Wyszogrod, Morris. Morris Wyszogrod, graphic designer, Holocaust survivor Steven Heller. September-October 1998.
This article describes the holocaust through the eyes of another survivor. It tells
the story of his experience during the holocaust and how his skill in graphic
design helped save his life. Morris was skilled in graphic design, and was able
to get jobs that used this skill in the death camp to keep him alive. He drew
art for Germans that worked there and had to fight to get materials in order to
continue creating art and therefor survive. This shows that the Nazis where
much more forgiving to the Jews that had skills they could gain from. This source was useful because unlike the article “I will survive: one girl’s life in
a Nazi Death Camp”, it showed yet another way people in the holocaust where able
to survive. In “I will survive: one girl’s life in a Nazi Death Camp” it showed
how Kor pushed through the danger and pain as a kid, but in this interview we
can see that Morris was able to survive using a skill that the Nazis found
interesting. This article is reliable because I used ICONN.org, a web site that
I believe uses reliable sources. I also checked the author and found that he
writes a long range of articles on various different topics and is a very
experienced author. The magazine known as “Print” which this article was written
for is mostly made up of international political issues and articles on the art
of the past and present, so they would be experts on a political issue such as
the holocaust especially when interviewing a victim of this horrible event.
German Children
"Infamous Nazis' children face their inheritance in new film." World War II May-June 2010: 12+. General
OneFile. Web. 30 May 2013.
Years after the war German children who were too young to fight in World War ll had
to wrestles with the legacy of Hitler’s regime. Zeevi’s
film, Hitler’s children planned for release later this same year. Well
over 60 years on not wanting to be filmed there are children of senior Nazis for
Hitler’s circle who will not speak in front of camera’s.
This source was helpful to me because it told me how Hitler impact kids at a young age life. It
answers my question because in the article it tells me about the kids and the
things they went threw during the World War ll. I learned that kids had went
threw something that no young kids should ever have to go threw at that age and
that we should be grateful that we didn’t have to do the things they
did.
Hitler
"How did Hitler become dictator of Germany in 1933-34?" Hindsight Jan. 2008: S48+. General OneFile. Web. 30 May 2013.
This article talks about how Hitler became dictator of Germany in 1933 – 1934 In
January 1933 Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. The Nazis were only one party
of many and Hitler was not firmly in control. However, by the end of 1934,
Germany had become a one party state, with Hitler its dictator. Hitler was empowered to pass laws for four years, without interference from the Reichstag. The Enabling Law brought the Weimar Constitution to an end and gave
Hitler the means to become a dictator.
Hitler destroyed rivals to his power inside the Nazi Party.
This supports my topic because it has something to do with the Nazi Party and how it impacted the Anti-Nazis also its
giving me information I never knew about and wasn’t expecting to learn or read about .
Health
Doctors
Doctor Resources
Renner, Michael. "Resource Wars The Facts." (2004)
This article talks about how doctors were needed almost all the time during World War
II. It talks about how the death rate was high even with doctors, and would’ve
been unimaginable without them. The point of this article is to inform the
reader about how important doctors were during World War II. The article is
mainly about how many of the injured soldiers were constantly in need of a
doctor and there weren’t always enough doctors to attend every patient at once.
As a result of that, there was a very high rate of death and a loss of
soldiers.
This article was very useful because it provides many useful statistics and graphs as
well as enriching text that described doctors during World War II. This source
stood out compared to the other articles that I was going to use because in this
source because in this article, it not only contains text, but it also has many
graphs and statistics that help the reader gain knowledge about how important
doctors were during World War ll. This source was very reliable because it was
found on iconn.org, which is a website that finds articles that are legit and
reliable. The author wrote this article to inform the reader about how important
doctors were during the War.
Doctor Knowledge
"WWII Archives." 1944. Archives Web Site. 28 May 2013 <http://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww2/photos/#aid>.
These three photos offer a wide range of content covering the importance of doctors
during World War II . The topics that are covered in these photos are surgery,
in – battle assistance, and life or death situations that the doctors influence:
whether the patient lives or dies. Overall, these photos cover a wide range of
knowledge that the viewer would gain if he or she was examining
these.
This website offers very enriching content that covers a wide range of World War II
medical knowledge. To compare this source with the other ones that I was
researching, this one stood out because it is not only reliable but it offers
very in depth an “in the moment” scenes from World War II that involve doctors.
The obvious reason that the source is reliable is because the three photos were
found on a government website. The purpose of the government putting this on
their website was to have records of World War 2 and also so that American
citizens can view them.
This source answers my inquiry question because the content of the three photos show
how soldiers would have zero chance of living without doctors at their
assistance. This source was very helpful to me because the photos offer a wide
range of content that shows just how important doctors were during World War II.
From this source, I have learned two things. First, I learned that doctors were
very important during World War II. I have also learned that doctors and medical
supplies are very different than from today.
STD
STD Propaganda
Stampler, Laura. These Are The Military's Jaw-Dropping Propaganda Posters Against WW2
Soldiers' Real Enemy: STDs. 24 March 2012. 23 May 2013
<http://www.businessinsider.com/ww2-military-propaganda-posters-against-stds-2012-3?op=1>.
The propaganda poster about STDs really shows how bad these
diseases were during WWll. They usually show a woman with men in the armed
forces “drooling” over her. The posters have very useful information though. One
of them said that 98% of procurable women have an STD, so what are the chances
that the men won’t get one? Most of the posters are just saying to stay away
from prostitutes or you’ll get a venereal disease (STD) and to get prophylaxis
(condoms) to prevent it.
This source is useful because the posters give people a good idea
on how dangerous “good time” girls can be. The posters were made during World
War ll so they are very accurate. Stampler is an advertising reporter for
Business Insider and before that she was a reporter for The Huffington Post. The
goal of this source was to remind people how grim STDs are and for the men
serving to stay abroud.
These propaganda posters were really helpful because they taught
people how alarming these diseases were during WWll. These posters answered my
inquiry question fully; STDs were very severe during WWll. They showed that most
men had a venereal disease because they would easily trick the women.
Sex Crimes
Mari Yamaguchi And Malcolm Foster, The Associated Press. Japanese politician
apologizes to US over sex comment, denies Japan's forced WWII prostitution. 27
May 2013. 28 May 2013
<http://www.brandonsun.com/world/breaking-news/japanese-mayor-apologizes-for-saying-us-troops-should-visit-adult-businesses-to-reduce-rapes-209032101.html?thx=y>.
Yamaguchi and Foster's article explains how Osaka Mayor Toru
Hashimoto apologized for saying that U.S troops should see adult entertainment
as a way to reduce sex crimes. However, he denied the fact that Japan had sex
slaves for the soldiers during WWll. Hashimoto says that the use of the women
was necessary to provide "relaxation" for the soldiers.
This source is useful because it shows that there were sex slaves
used during WWll and that it was a big issue. The article was written just
yesterday so it is very current. The authors are reporters that get the stories
about politics, etc. The goal of this source was to inform the public about what
is being brought up from the past from WWll.
This article was helpful because it taught people that sex slaves
were a huge problem during WWll. It didn't answer my inquiry question fully but
it gave me a decent understanding. It showed me that my topic is more serious
than I thought

Kevin. "Blacks in World War II." 1995. Power Search. 28 May 2013

search¤tPosition=1&contentSet=GALE%7CA17362103&&>.
Kevin Chappell’s article explains the roles of black African American soldiers during
World War II and how people viewed them. The article covers what the black
soldiers did, what they accomplished, and how white soldiers and other people
thought of their achievements. It is an interesting text that reveals black
soldiers in a way that isn’t often talked about.
This is a reliable source because the author, Kevin Chappell, is an award winning
author and veteran. He has interviewed many famous political figures including
George Bush, and Barack Obama. He even covered the war in Iraq. The source is
useful because it provides a feel for how black people were treated during WWII.
Chappell’s article was helpful in understanding how black people were treated
and viewed in WWII. Overall from reading the article, I’ve come to understand that black
soldiers accomplished many things during the war that the white soldiers
couldn’t, despite the white soldiers’ belief that they would be unsuccessful.
Many soldiers individually received honors and awards for their services, but
not one of them got a Congressional Medal of Honor. This ties to my inquiry
question because I now see that despite their race, black soldiers were very
accomplished. They did gain respect from the white soldiers.
History, A. I. (1870- 1930). Black, White & Beyond. Retrieved 29 5, 2013, from
industrial Age:<http://learn.uakron.edu/beyond/industrialAge.htm>.
The main arguments made in this source are that, more than 6 million African Americans
were affected by World War II and they decided to migrate to cities that were in
the north. This website showed that if something as bad as World War II happened
again, you need to have somewhere to go, where you know that you can keep your family
safe and you know that they can have a better life.
This source was very useful. This doesn’t compare to some of the other sites that I
had seen before. This information is reliable to anyone that would look at it.
Welty, Tara. "Tuskegee Airmen: during World War II, a group of African-American pilots
bravely fought abroad--while their country discriminated against them at home."
2 January 2012. Junior Scholastic.29 May 2013<http://place.scholastic.com/>.
Welty’s article is a script of the Tuskegee airmen’s story, “Red Tails”. It is a brief
portion of the script with a short description of the event that took place in
real life. It describes how the airmen were discriminated against and how they
fought to prove the others wrong.
This source is reliable because Tara Welty is a famous award-winning author whom
works for scholastic. She also was Assistant Editor for social studies at
Harcourt School Publishers.
This article helped to answer my inquiry question because it showed how the Tuskegee
airmen were criticized and discriminated against during the time of WWII. One
statement that stuck out was that “African-American soldiers have fought in
every war in U.S. history. But for centuries they were not treated as equals.”
Another statement that I found interesting was that “By the end of 1939, World
War II had begun in Europe. Although the U.S. was not yet involved, it began to
build up its military. Black soldiers served in segregated units and were barred
from the Air Corps.” This article has made it obvious that black people still were
not treated completely equally despite their services.

GPS&sw=w>.
Jason R. McCammack’s article “Women make WAVES in World War II” offers information on
women in the military in WWII. It explains that women, who were in the military,
often served as navy seals and contributed to winning the war and helping the
U.S when they were short of soldiers. 84,000 women enlisted in the war and they
risked their lives to save the country’s democracy philosophy. One of the
remarkable skills these women had while serving in the NAVY were being code
breakers. Code breakers were people who solved German’s secret messages. This
source gave a lot of valuable information; it explained the importance of women
in the military, their skills, and their courageousness.

&u=s0000&it=r&p===GPS&sw=w>.
Mizrahi’s article, “The WASP Women Airforce Service Pilots” offers information
about another area of the army that women enlisted in; the AirForce. This
article explains that the U.S. was having a shortage of trained pilots to serve
in the army. Women were trained to become professional pilots which was a big
risk in WWII because the planes that they were flying were very dangerous. The
women were basically on a suicide missions, but they would do whatever they
could to serve their country. Men disagreed with women being in the Air Force
because they felt that they were not fit for the job and that they were taking
the place of men in the army. Women never got recognized for their superior
accomplishments in the air force and were treated unfairly but they still fought
to serve their country. This article and the author is a reliable source because
he knows a lot about aircrafts and the air force. This article also helps to
show the importance that women have during WWII and it helped to solve my
inquiry question. It was valuable information and a lot was learned about the
history of women during WWII and how they were the key to winning the
war.
National Archives. World War II: Women in the Work Force During World War 2. n.d.
28 May 2013<http://www.archives.gov/atlanta/education/resources-by-state/wwii-
women.html>.
This National Archives article about the women’s effect on the war is very
informational because it talks about the specific impact. For example, this
article talks about how Mobile, Alabama was affected during World War 2. This
was a very helpful source. Even though it only focused on one section of one
state, this article does do a good job of explaining exactly how Mobile,
Alabama, was affected by the war.
The website is reliable because it’s a partof the national archives. The National Archives
is the official national government record keeper. This corporation holds all of the nation’s important
writings. The main goal of the writing was to educate the reader about the impact that women
had outside the home using any primary source that they have about this topic.
Sorensen, Aja. Rosie the Riveter: Women During World War II. n.d. 29 May 2013
<http://www.nps.gov/pwro/collection/website/credit.htm>.
This article is mainly discussed how hard it was for women to start working in
factories during WWII. The main purpose of this web page was to educate the
reader about how women were viewed during WWII. The topics covered throughout
this article were how Rosie the Riveter came about, what types of women went to
work (by race, age, social class, marital status), and how the government and
society reacted to the recruitment of women to the workforce. Overall, this
source was really useful. This source is pretty equal with the other sources
that was used for this annotated bibliography. This source was credible because
the URL ends in a .gov which means that it is a website that was published
under the government’s authority. This source was helpful to the research
because it gave information about how women were treated. This source helped to
answer the inquiry question, which was “since WWII, how has a woman’s role
during wartime change outside the home” because it gave insight on the topic of
women outside of the home.
