“I wanna do this with you “ a love language

Hi Mr. deadpresidents! I'm in high school and have to write a paper about a person from WW2 but want to choose someone different because I know everyone will pick FDR or Churchill or Hitler, any suggestions? thank you!

In my opinion, the person who never gets enough credit is General George C. Marshall, who was the U.S. Army Chief of Staff during World War II and remembered as the "organizer of victory." Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, de Gaulle, Truman, Eisenhower, and many others considered General Marshall to be the greatest man they ever knew. Stalin once said "I would trust General Marshall with my life." STALIN said that! About an American General! Stalin didn't even trust his children! Marshall was so indispensable to FDR that, instead of appointing him to command the Supreme Allied forces in Europe, the President kept Marshall in the United States to be the overall organizer of the immense logistical challenges required to fight a true world war. And, after being one of the most important reasons for the Allied military victory during the war, Marshall ended up earning a Nobel Peace Prize following the war for his Marshall Plan relief work to help rebuild Europe. He is one of the great Americans in our history -- there should be a national monument honoring him in Washington.

If you want to really pick someone out of left field, I've always been fascinating by King Haakon VII of Norway. His contribution wasn't nearly as active or vital as General Marshall's (or pretty much any of the major figures of World War II). But his refusal to accept the puppet regime installed in Norway when the Nazis occupied his country turned him into a very important symbol that the Norwegian resistance used as a foundation against the Nazis. When King Haakon refused to recognize Quisling (who was such a tool of the Nazis that his name has become synonymous with puppet rulers), he offered to abdicate if that was what the true government of Norway wished, but they supported him. The Nazis were determined to capture the King and the royal family, so they had to form a government-in-exile in England, but the Norwegian people rallied around him and began their resistance. Even the King's "H7" monogram became a symbol of the resistance. There's a good Norwegian-language movie called The King's Choice about his story, which is actually available on YouTube right now for free with ads.

"The man stands forth against the background of the Wars of the Roses a curiously modern figure, almost, one might say, the first of the moderns among English monarchs."

Anonymous asked: My grandfather was in World War II and he brought this back from the war do you know anything about it? I can’t post the photo but it’s the H7 logo, can I send it to you somehow

There’s no need to worry about the photo as I know what you mean by H7 logo. In fact every Norwegian knows about this as it’s part of our lore.

Basically H7 was the royal cypher of the Norwegian head of state, King Haakon VII, who reigned from 1905 to 1957. His H7 monogram came into prominence during the Second World War. During Norway's five years under German control, many Norwegians surreptitiously wore clothing or jewellery made from coins bearing Haakon's H7 monogram as symbols of resistance to the German occupation and of solidarity with their exiled King and Government, just as many people in Denmark wore his brother's monogram on a pin.

King Haakon VII is regarded by many as one of the greatest Norwegian leaders of the pre-war period, managing to hold his young and fragile country together in unstable political conditions. His leadership as the symbol of resistance to hostile outside invaders is still deeply revered by all Norwegians to this day even if he was a Dane.
