• Civilian spotter fills his watch looking for enemy planes, so he can warn of an approaching attack.

• Civilian fire crews put out fires caused by incendiary bombs before they can spread through London.

• During daytime raids, Nazis targeted hospitals and churches so as to dishearten civilians.

• Limited space in the safety of the countryside meant many elderly people decided to stay in London despite the hardship

British children were separated from their families and moved to farms and villages in the country where the

Germans were not bombing. Their parents had to stay in London to work in the factories and support the war effort.

When bomb raids moved to the night time, civilians slept in the underground subway system so that they could be protected from the fire bombs dropped on London.

King and Queen visit Londoners After the BlitzQueen Elizabeth refused to leave England despite being advised to travel to safety in Canada by the Cabinet. "The princesses would never leave without me, and I couldn’t leave without the King, and the King would never leave," she said. Buckingham Palace even took a direct hit during the height of the bombing although luckily no-one was hurt.

Operation Barbarossa:Hitler’s Biggest Mistake

Operation Barbarossa: June 22, 1941

3,000,000 German soldiers. 3,400 tanks.

The Russians Respond: Russian Scorch Earth Policy

If we can’t have it…. No one will…..

They burn the grain in the

fields, poison the wells, tear down the houses, kill

the farm animals. There will be nothing left for Hitler to

use.

ASQ: What one Russian resource stopped Genghis Kahn and

Napoleon both?The Deadly Russian Winter

Only Russians Can Survive

Minimum temperatures for the Moscow area in late 1941: December, --20°F. The

lowest Temperature recorded that exceptionally cold winter was -63°F.

Still, Russians are Bitter. Stalin fought alone against Hitler in Europe from 1941 – 1944. Russia loses more soldiers and civilians holding the line than any other nation.

Cartoon Analysis

• Being able to Analyze (identify and state the deeper, below the surface meaning in something) is an important Social Studies Skill.

• Political Cartoons are a common way to tackle difficult ideas in history.

• Today we are going to learn an advanced technique for analyzing political cartoons.

• You will use this technique all Semester.

S.C.I.B.A. Cartoon Analysis

• Symbolism• Caricature• Irony• Background• Argument

Symbolism

• A symbol is something that represents or stands for something else (Uncle Sam stands for the US)

• What do these symbols represent?

Caricature

• A drawing or description that exaggerates something’s or someone’s characteristics

• Adds humor• Draws your attention to something• What is exaggerated helps you

understand the political carton’s message

Irony

• Irony is when something happens that is inconsistent (absurd or laughable) from what might be expected to happen.

Background

• What background information do you have that could help you understand what is going on?

• What is the historical context in which the cartoon was produced?

Argument

• What argument is the author of the cartoon making?

• What is the main point of the Thesis of the cartoon?

Following the S.C.I.B.A. Process

1. First identify the Symbols2. Next, describe the elements in the cartoon that

are Caricatures3. Thirdly, explain the Irony in the cartoon4. Then write the Background of the cartoon,

what history is represented?5. Finally, what Argument is the cartoonist

making? This is not just the history. What is the cartoonist’s view on the history?

Analyze Political Cartoons of WWII using the BASIC method
