During WWII, the British Security Service or MI5 had a system called the Double XX system. It was an anti-espionage system that relied on spies and two agents to disseminate anonymous information. For example, agent Zigzag (or Eddie Chapman) has leaked German information by reporting that their bombs at the target, Central London. But in reality, when they are started down many miles and they are always lost. As a result, the Germans never aligned themselves with their mission and continued to intensify the war. Another anonymous information system is OperationMincemeat. The British attached high-secret documents to the corpse and dumped them off the coast of Spain. When a German chancellor received false documents, he believed that British troops were planning to invade Greece and Sardinia and immediately set out to capture them. In fact, the target was Sicily and Alliestook in Axis power by surprise. And while the Nazis struggled to find these spies and two agents, the British Double XX system was very successful. In fact, after the war, it was discovered that all agents sent to Britain in Britain had been arrested or simply surrendered.

The only thing was one representative who was never found ... because he killed himself. An incredible number of bombs dropped during WWII. It is estimated that the Allies dropped 3.4 million tons of explosives in Europe and Asia. That is 27,000 tons every month. Even more shocking is that anywhere between 5-15% has never been blown up. Which means they are still buried under our feet, waiting for the explosion at any moment. In Germany alone, more than 5,500 land mines are detected each year. During the final months of the war, Japan's fearsome unit, called Unit 731, planned a long-range attack on the United States. The attack was not important to the military but was seen as a last resort to prevent the US from invading Japan. They called it "Operation Cherry Blossoms Night". Five submarines were to be sent across the Pacific Ocean, each carrying three planes loaded with infected fish. Submarines would then approach the coast of San Diego and launch several attacks on the city. The disease will infect people in this area and kill people gradually. The operation was to take place on September 22nd, 1945. However, because the US used the same weapon (atomic bomb) just one month before, Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night did not happen. At the end of the war, Japan and Russia signed a formal peace treaty ending hostilities. So among them, WWII is still a technical concept.

The name Nazi is derived from the German word "Nationalsozialist". However, when Hitler became party leader in 1920 the first abbreviation of the National Socialist Party was Nasos or just NSDAP. But the name Nazialso is derived from a Bavarian word meaning "simple mind" or "stupid person". It is believed that this led to opposition instead of favoring the Nazi name and that the name eventually returned to Germany. The most successful German investigator of WWII was a man named Hanns Scharff. Thankfully, despite all the bad things that happened during WWII, he never used any form of abuse to be investigated. Instead, he treated the prisoners with kindness and dignity and made friends with them. Hanns was known for taking his prisoners into the woods nearby. But he did not use these natural forms as an opportunity to directly ask his inmates specific questions about the military but instead relied on a growing example of inmates talking to anyone outside of them. In doing so, prisoners often shared fragments of useful information that Hanns had been instructed to obtain. Often without them realizing they have a donation. His tactics there were so successful that after the war, he held talks around the US including the Pentagon about his unusual investigative tactics.

In the early 1940s, the Nazis began their work in Denmark to facilitate the planned attack on Norway's most important target. Since the Danish government was unprepared and in large numbers, the attack lasted only a few hours when they were forced to surrender. Despite this, Denmark has been able to save almost all Jews. In 1943 Hitler ordered all DanishJews arrested and deported. When the Danish resistance group heard about this they managed to secretly deport 7,220 Danish '7,800 Jews to Sweden for neutrality. During WWII it was difficult with Coca-ColaCo. in Germany to import the necessary syrup they need to make Coca-Cola. Overcoming this, the head of Coca-Cola decided to create a new product for the German market using only the ingredients that were available at the time. The new soda became "Fanta". The word is derived from a German word used in the imagination "Fantasie". When Hitler visited Paris in 1940, the French cut the ropes at the Eiffel Tower so that if Hitler wanted to visit the summit, he would have to climb all 1,710 steps alone. As a result, Hitler did not conquer the Eiffel Tower and it has been said that Hitler conquered France but did not conquer the Eiffel Tower.

When the war ended, the Red Army marched into Nazi Germany and met with a shocking vision. In the last four and a half years, 1.3 million people have been sent to Auschwitz. 1.1 million of them will never leave. The atrocities and cruelty perpetrated here cannot be expressed in words. But for many of those who had the freedom to be free, the nightmare had just begun. Female survivors are attacked by rape victims by their so-called saviors as they try to make a back home. Tens of thousands of women across Europe were apparently raped and killed when the Red Army marched. Sadly it is known as The Rape of Europe. Those who have been able to return home in the hope of getting on with their lives have been forced to find their homes destroyed or otherwise owned by someone else.

They were homeless, without property, without money, and many without relatives or friends as all had been killed in the war. They may find themselves struggling to survive long after the war ends. During the war, Auschwitz had 7,000 members of the German SS. Only 15% of them are killed or convicted of war crimes. As commander of Auschwitz was arrested in 1946 and hanged in 1947. Those who managed to escape could enjoy a comfortable life in the post-German war. Some were even able to flee Germany completely through fake IDs. They never face the consequences of their crimes ...
