Throughout this series of journals released to acknowledge 80 years since the beginning of WW2, we will be looking at the seven years of that conflict on an annual basis. The conflict, the buildup to war, the major battles, the strategies and technological developments, the effect on civilians and most importantly of all we'll consider the role of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who gave their lives fighting for the freedom of others. All around the world as the new year of 1943 began, the effects of a global war were really taking a firm hold. Hardship and deprivation were now simply a way of life, but for the Jews and other ethnic and social groups targeted by Adolf Hitler's racial hygiene program, they were literally fighting for survival. However, at least by this stage news of the terrible atrocities committed in the ghettos and concentration camps had reached the Allies, making leaders Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt more determined than ever to end Hitler's reign of terror, with the utmost expediency. Follow us onward into the history of WW2 in 1943.
