World War II attackers

In my AP English class, our teachers vouched for us to read Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. The book itself takes place during World War II and follows the journey of Louis Zamperini. In respect to that, we have been assigned to somehow connect our blog topic to the book. So I did some research about snakes during WWII and turns out that snakes had a an influence in some battles. At the battle of Okinawa in Japan, snakes inhabited the waters around the island. So when the soldiers fought, some of them accidentally stepped on or destroyed the homes of many of these snakes. This created a sense of alarm by the snakes and many of them injected their venom into the soldiers, actually killing them.
