    hi everyone, i am new here and i love history and we are researching ww2 and i have to do an oral.

    it is on a prominent figure in the war, but i would like him or her to be a controversial figure so that i can take a side and support it with evidence. has anyone got any ideas?

    Just ideas Carpe, for close-to-home relevance, how about MacArthur - aims and motives? Or, for someone you can really astound with, how about Canaris - patriot or traitor?

    Why don't you do a speech that analyzes Hitler's public speaking techniques? You know, a speaker analyzing a speaker.
