December 11, 1941 |
The United States was still reeling from the surprise attack by the Japanese on Pear Harbor on December 7, 1941 and had formally declared war on Japan. Tens of thousands of young American men rushed to join the armed forces. On December 11th, Germany and Italy responded by declaring war on the United States. Germany had recently opened an eastern front by attacking Russia. Soon, however, the two front strategy would backfire and Germany would find its supply lines and forces against the greater might of the Allied Forces.
