Our class is just starting to study in depth World War 2. We started by putting together lists that show what we want to know and what we already know about the war. Personally I would be very interested to know how each of the world leaders rose to power, and how they were being presented by the media.
For example, our president Teddy Rosevelt was in a wheelchair suffering from a bone related disease in his legs so was often filmed sitting behind his desk, the wheelchair hidden. Hitler was portrayed by many if not all Allied powers media, and possibly due to the course of the war he will be known as the villain forever. He was also portrayed by his own media as a savior of the people, a messiah. I need to find out who the real Hitler was, not the mass murdering cynacil villain that many know him as. Would his reputation be different if he had won the war? Of course it would. But how?
