Rubber soldiers: the forgotten army that saved the allies in WWII
The Rubber Soldiers were an army of 55,000 men from the Brazilian northeast, who were sent to the Amazon basin to harvest rubber for the Allied War effort under an agreement between Brazil and the US.

| Zusammenfassung: | The Rubber Soldiers were an army of 55,000 men from the Brazilian northeast, who were sent to the Amazon basin to harvest rubber for the Allied War effort under an agreement between Brazil and the US. Approximately 26,000 of these men died in the Amazon of malaria, yellow fever, and other jungle afflictions. Many of the original tappers are still alive, now in their late nineties, and living in slums in major Amazonian cities, still awaiting compensation. This book proves the US did pay for the rubber, contrary to common belief in Brazil that they did not. The book also shows that the Allied air bases on Brazil's northeastern coast were critical in defeating the Germans in North Africa, and containing the German U-boat effort in the south Atlantic. This aspect of WWII has rarely been reported and yet it may have been one of the most important events of the war |

[2017] © 2017 200 Seiten Illustrationen txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-194) and index The Rubber Soldiers were an army of 55,000 men from the Brazilian northeast, who were sent to the Amazon basin to harvest rubber for the Allied War effort under an agreement between Brazil and the US. Approximately 26,000 of these men died in the Amazon of malaria, yellow fever, and other jungle afflictions. Many of the original tappers are still alive, now in their late nineties, and living in slums in major Amazonian cities, still awaiting compensation. This book proves the US did pay for the rubber, contrary to common belief in Brazil that they did not. The book also shows that the Allied air bases on Brazil's northeastern coast were critical in defeating the Germans in North Africa, and containing the German U-boat effort in the south Atlantic. This aspect of WWII has rarely been reported and yet it may have been one of the most important events of the war World War (1939-1945) / fast / (OCoLC)fst01180924 World War (1939-1945) fast (OCoLC)fst01180924 1900-1999 / fast History / fast / (OCoLC)fst01411628 Economic development / fast / (OCoLC)fst00901785 Economic history / fast / (OCoLC)fst00901974 International economic relations / fast / (OCoLC)fst00976891 Military assistance, American / fast / (OCoLC)fst01020932 Rubber industry and trade / fast / (OCoLC)fst01100916 Rubber industry and trade Amazon River Region History 20th century World War, 1939-1945 Brazil Military assistance, American Brazil Economic development Amazon River Region Economic development Economic history International economic relations Military assistance, American Rubber industry and trade Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Kautschukproduktion (DE-588)4488620-2 gnd rswk-swf Amazon River Region / fast / (OCoLC)fst01239764 Brazil / fast / (OCoLC)fst01206830 United States / fast / (OCoLC)fst01204155 Brazil Foreign economic relations United States United States Foreign economic relations Brazil Amazon River Region Economic conditions Amazon River Region Brazil United States USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Brasilien (DE-588)4008003-1 gnd rswk-swf 1900-1999 fast Brasilien (DE-588)4008003-1 g Kautschukproduktion (DE-588)4488620-2 s Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Neeleman, Rose Verfasser aut Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032498073&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
