  • BAOR July 1989
    BAOR ORDER OF BATTLE JULY 1989 “But Pardon, and Gentles all, The flat unraised spirits that have dared On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth So great an object….” Chorus, Henry V Act 1, Prologue This document began over five years ago from my frustration in the lack of information (or just plain wrong information) regarding the British Army of The Rhine in general and the late Cold War in particular. The more I researched through books, correspondence, and through direct questions to several “Old & Bold” on Regimental Association Forums, the more I became determined to fill in this gap. The results are what you see in the following pages. Before I begin a list of acknowledgements let me recognize my two co-authors, for this is as much their work as well as mine. “PM” was instrumental in sharing his research on the support Corps, did countless hours of legwork, and never failed to dig up information on some of my arcane questions. “John” made me “THINK” British Army! He has been an inspiration; a large part of this work would have not been possible without him. He added the maps and the color formation signs, as well as reformatting the whole document. I can only humbly say that these two gentlemen deserve any and all accolades as a result of this document. Though we have put much work into this document it is far from finished. Anyone who would like to contribute information of their time in BAOR or sources please contact me at [email protected]. The document will be updated with new information periodically.

  • Witness to History
    WITNESS TO HISTORY A book by Michael Walsh This book will not break your heart, it will crush your heart in sorrow and compassion for all mankind. This one book, ABOVE ALL OTHERS I've read, puts together information using statements from historical figures in a way that, I believe, will erase doubts from any doubting Thomas that one of the biggest lies -- or mass of massive lies -- we've ever been told involve WWII, German National Socialism; its Chancellor, Adolf Hitler; and in fact WHO made that war happen. As I was reading this book to the listeners of our Sweet Liberty radio broadcast, we discovered the REAL hot-button. I received a phone call from WWCR questioning my 'motives' for presenting this information. THAT was a first, and reinforced my desire to share the information with as many as will listen/read/hear/see through the biggest lie. I continued to read until finally it became nearly impossible for listeners to hear the broadcast on a once-crystal clear frequency; on two occasions we were actually knocked off the air-waves. When the subject matter changed, the reception cleared up. From this I've realized that the lie must be maintained at all costs; we MUST hate Adolf Hitler with all the venom a serpent can muster or the perpetrators of the lie begin frothing at the mouth. Although the material presented on the broadcast is always controversial, and although the quality of our short-wave reception seems to be manipulated depending upon the topic at hand, this one subject is taboo, period.

The thesis has not been submitted for a qualification at any other academic institution. Aaron Pegram 24 July 2017 2 Acknowledgements ________________ This thesis would not be completed without the assistance of a good many people. First, I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Bill Gammage at ANU, and Professor Peter Stanley of UNSW Canberra, who both gave endless advice on drafts, did their best to rid the verbosity from my writing, and were exceptionally patient while I completed this thesis part-time. I am eternally grateful to Bill, Peter and Professor Paul Pickering at ANU for their mentoring and overall efforts in making me a better historian. I would also like to recognise the assistance of Dr Roger Lee, Dr Andrew Richardson, Nick Anderson and the Australian Army History Unit for a research grant that allowed me to study the Western Front battlefields and carry out research in Germany in 2011. I have drawn on years of encouragement from my friends and colleagues in the Military History Section at the Australian War Memorial.

  • A Catalyst for the Development of Human Rights: German Internment Practices in the First World War, 1914-1929
    A Catalyst for the Development of Human Rights: German Internment Practices in the First World War, 1914-1929 Alison Marie Vick Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History Heather Gumbert (Co-chair) Robert Stephens (Co-chair) Glenn Bugh David Cline May 6, 2013 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Germany, prisoners of war, First World War, human rights, international law Copyright 2013 A Catalyst for the Development of Human Rights: German Internment Practices in the First World War, 1914-1929 Alison Marie Vick ABSTRACT This thesis is a transnational study of the military actions and responses related to prisoners of war in World War I. Building on the works human rights scholars, I explore the how the collective rights afforded to prisoners of war under the 1906 Geneva Convention and 1907 Hague Convention served as a precursor to the concept of human rights that emerged after World War II. I argue that German military treated prisoners of war according to national interest, rather than international law. Specifically, I explore how the concepts of “military necessity” and “reciprocity” drove German internment practices, and how German internment practices escalated in violence during the last two years of the war. The violent practices committed by the Germans against prisoners of war produced an international demand to hold the perpetrators of wartime atrocities accountable for their actions in the postwar period. Acknowledgements This thesis was possible because of the help and encouragement of many supportive individuals.
