B It provides reasons for why Hedy Lamarr became involved in technological advances during WWII.
The trouble in Europe came to a head on September 1, 1939, when Nazi German forces invaded Poland, effectively starting World War II. From her home safe in the United States, Lamarr read reports of civilian deaths at the hands of the German forces. She was particularly upset about German submarines sinking ships at sea. Innocent men, women, and children were killed by these torpedoes. Lamarr thought about ways to save lives. She also thought about her mother, who was still alive and living in Austria, one of the countries being invaded by German forces. She used her contacts to help her mother escape the Holocaust.
