World War II and the Pacific: Wisconsin Soldiers and their Roles and Experiences

Abstract

The following Paper covers World War II in the Pacific Theater. Furthermore the paper will focus on Wisconsin soldiers and the roles and experiences that they lived through during their deployments in the Pacific. This paper will compare and answer the question on whether or not the experiences that Wisconsin soldiers had were comparable to those of other soldiers from around the United States. This information was found by using interviews that were provided by the Library of Congress which has spent the last few years working on an oral history project concerning war veterans. The three gentlemen that were used for this were James Webb, Francis Sawyer, and Peter Weitz.
