Hitler goes down!

One challenge associated with having an extremely curious five year old is that they ask lots of questions, and then remember the answers to these questions. So when Spencer found the DVD case to a World War II movie lying around, I soon found myself explaining (in very general terms) what happened during World War II. A few weeks later, Spencer comes home from school having created the following 12 page story on WWII (Spencer drew the pictures and dictated the story to his teachers). Spencer embellished the story a bit, but it’s not like Tarantino didn’t do the same thing with ‘Inglorious Basterds’.

Here is the story:

World War II: by Spencer

World War II: by Spencer

pages 2 and 3

Once Adolf Hiter wanted to be the boss and take over the whole world. So, they rided on horsie to the fight.

pages 4 and 5

And that is a guy, a man who is shooting a laser gun at a bad guy on Adolf Hiter's team. This guy with 3 hands was fighting Adolf Hiter with a sword, a firedart, and a fire ball.

And these are bad guys on Adolf Hiter's team. A good guy on the United States team shot a cannon at these guys on Adolf Hiter's team.

And the United States won the fight. This guy holding the trophy is the guy with three hands. Here he is holding the big trophy. He's very strong.

And here he is again, holding the big trophy.

Here is the guy with the three hands on the United States team.
