LTC Stephen F.
SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - the third point focuses on the Nazi's killing of Jewish and Gypsy children. The first children the Nazis killed were the retarded and physically deformed that didn't meet the Aryan expectations. They also killed many Slavic children as the German Army moved east during Operation Barbarossa.
the tenth point "The longest battle of WWII was the Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted from 1939-1945." The longest Battle was most likely the Battle for China which began with the Marco Polo Bridge incident in 1937 and lasted until 1945. "A Japanese rifle company took part in a field exercise outside Beijing near the Marco Polo Bridge on the night of July 7, 1937. One soldier went missing.
The company commander believed his soldier was kidnapped by the Chinese.
He wanted to search the nearby city of Wanping, but the commander of the Chinese garrison rejected his demand for search. A shot rang, then.
The Japanese accused the Chinese of firing that shot and vice versa.But that shot... paved the way for an eventual return to the Republic of China of Taiwan, ceded to Japan in 1895."

Fortunately or unfortunately I know far too much about WWII and I could probably comment on most of the points you raised :-)
