  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

The first (No. 138) deals with Kwantung Arm's wartime vigil throughout Manchuria in prepa- ration for operations. The second (No. 154) deals with actual military operations against Soviet forces on the eastern front. This monograph, No. 155, covers operations in the northern and western parts of Manchuria and also in northern Korea. Like No. 154, this monograph is actually a collection of closely related sub-monographs, each a separate--but by no means complete--study in itself.

  • The German 290Th Infantry Division at Demyansk by Henning Nagel and Vance Von Borries
    The German 290th Infantry Division at Demyansk By Henning Nagel and Vance von Borries During September 1941 the summer advance into the Soviet Union by German Army Group North had largely ended. In the north, units of the Army Group’s 18th Army laid siege to Leningrad while to the east and south they stood against Soviet efforts to relieve the great siege. To the south, 16th Army entered the Valday Hills region, taking Demyansk on September 8th thereby securing Army Group North’s southern flank and establishing a link with its neighbor, Army Group Center. By the end of November the 16th Army conducted little more than local actions and the campaign in the area settled in to static warfare. The main German effort had shifted south to Army Group Center in front of Moscow. Yet, as Army Group Center began to close around Moscow, it too lost momentum and shifted to the defensive. Then the Soviets struck. What began as a limited counter-offensive against Army Group Center in December grew by January 1942 into a general strategic offensive that threatened to expel the Germans from much of the Soviet Union. Practically all German divisions in Russia were caught up in the winter campaign and at times each would find itself thrown back on its own resources. Little else would be available. In the Demyansk/Valday area all German divisions worked together and each played an important role, sometimes critical, in withstanding the Soviet tide. The story of the 290th illustrates how these divisions held together. The 290th Infantry Division (ID), part of 16th Army’s X.Army Corps in the Valday region, had been formed in March and April 1940 in the Munsterlager Troop Maneuver Area from newly trained north German personnel.

  • Rifle Divisions on 22Nd June 1941 There Were 15 Rifle Divisions in the Leningrad Military District
    The Actual Strength of all Soviet Land Combat Units in a Deployed (D) State on 22nd June 1941 Part IV 6 The Leningrad Military District (Northern Front from 24th June 1941) In this section we will focus on the actual manpower and equipment strength of the land combat units deployed in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941. We will examine the strength of the individual combat units and reconcile this with the actual strength in the whole of the military district. Rifle Divisions On 22nd June 1941 there were 15 rifle divisions in the Leningrad Military District. On 1st June 1941 the average personnel strength in these divisions was 11 985 men, or 83% of the wartime authorised TOE.1 In terms of personnel this made the rifle divisions in this district the strongest of any in the Western Military Districts when the Germans attacked. Three of the 15 rifle divisions (the 237th, 177th and 191st) were new and in the process of forming. The average strength of the 12 older established divisions was over 13 100 men, which made them close to full strength. Perhaps the Soviets maintained these divisions at higher than average strength due to the recent hostilities with Finland. Table Len MD Divs 1 shows the actual strength of the rifle divisions in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941. Most of the rifle divisions were well established divisions with six formed before 1939, five formed in 1939, one in 1940 and three in 1941. The average rifle division in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941 had an inventory containing: up to or over 100% of their authorised MGs and mortars, around 93% of their authorised AT guns, 73-89% of their authorised light artillery and infantry guns (76mm), 78-102% of their authorised medium to heavy artillery, and all their authorised heavy AA guns.

Many men died and many more were wounded in a conflict which could have been avoided if the free world had not been ignorant of the ways of the Communists. Today, many years after the armored spearhead of Communism first drove across the 38th parallel, 350 ,0 0 0 men are still standing ready to repell that same enemy. It is hoped that this study will throw light on the errors which grew to war so that they might not be repeated at another time in a different place.
