The second wave of Red Army Soviet troops that came through Germany are blamed for the bulk of this violence. Type keyword s to search. Today, the battle is mainly remembered for the destruction of the abbey of Monte Cassino which was sheltering civilians by more than a hundred B Flying Fortresses, when the Allies mistakenly believed the abbey to be a German artillery observation position.

  • THE BATTLE of KURSK Belligerents
    THE BATTLE OF KURSK DATE: JULY 05 – AUGUST 23 1943 Belligerents Nazi Germany Soviet Union The Battle of Kursk occurred in July 1943 around the Soviet city of Kursk in western Russia. Germany launched Operation Citadel as Hitler’s response to his devastating defeat by the Soviet Red Army at the Battle of Stalingrad. The battle was Germany’s last chance to regain dominance on the Eastern Front and would be their final blitzkrieg offensive. Despite a massive planned assault on Soviet troops using heavy tanks, artillery and air power, postponements by German dictator Adolf Hitler gave the Soviets ample time to prepare for the onslaught. Ultimately, Germany’s plan to wipe out the Red Army once and for all failed, but not before both sides experienced heavy casualties. By June 1942, Hitler had advanced into the Soviet Union and hoped to easily take the strategic city of Stalingrad, the namesake city of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. But Stalin rallied both Russian troops and civilians who dug in and vowed to fight to the end. When the German Sixth Army reached Stalingrad in September, they were unprepared for the well-armed and well-trained Red Army. Ferocious fighting ensued as the Germans fought their way through the city, building by building, house by house and were met with heavy resistance. The carnage was horrific on both sides. By mid-November, the Germans found themselves outnumbered, outgunned, extremely low on food and medical supplies and surrounded by Russians. They saw the writing on the wall and had a chance to escape but Hitler commanded they “hold their positions to the last man and the last round…” He also promised additional provisions – provisions that never arrived.

  • The Commemoration of a Contested Past in Western Ukraine John Lehr
    Memory Connection Volume 1 Number 1 © 2011 The Memory Waka Memory, Myth, and Monuments: The Commemoration of a Contested Past in Western Ukraine John Lehr and Natalia Aponiuk Memory Connection Volume 1 Number 1 © 2011 The Memory Waka Memory, Myth, and Monuments: The Commemoration of a Contested Past in Western Ukraine John Lehr and Natalia Aponiuk Abstract In 2010, President Viktor Yushchenko’s posthumous award of the title ‘Hero of Ukraine’ to Stepan Bandera ignited a debate that threw memory and history into conflict. Bandera was the founder of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) whose military arm, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), or Ukrayins’ka Povstans’ka Armiya, fought for Ukrainian independence from 1942–1952. Initially it opposed German occupation forces in Ukraine, but following the German retreat it fought Soviet troops, at times controlling considerable territory in Western Ukraine. The UPA hoped to achieve an independent Ukrainian state and continued to conduct guerrilla warfare against the Soviets until 1952. A second arm of the OUN joined the German cause as a route to Ukrainian independence, enlisting in the Waffen-SS Division Halychyna. The UPA received strong support from the Ukrainian population, which regarded it as a liberating national organisation. Its opponents allege that it engaged in ethnic cleansing of Poles, and during the Nazi occupation actively collaborated in the murder and deportation of Jews. Many Western Ukrainians also fought as soldiers of the Soviet Red Army, playing a role in the liberation of Ukraine from Nazi control. During the period of Soviet administration from 1945 until 1991, when Ukraine achieved independence, an official landscape of commemoration was established that celebrated communist heroes and the sacrifices of the Red Army.

The armies were of imposing proportions - each 150,000 men strong. But the Kozaks were defeated when, on the day of the decisive battle, their allies, the Tatars, abandoned the field and kidnapped the Kozak leader, who as a result of this defeat was forced to sign the Treaty of Bila Tserkva. Now, 340 years later on June 16, Ukrainians from northern, western and central lands converged upon the Kor zak graves to celebrate .- not the Berestechko defeat, but the glory of their Kozak past. "We should stop and think: for what did the Kozaks give their lives? For freedom, for independence, for their lands. It is here on this sacred resting place that we should feel strength, ability and courage to follow along Kolomayets the road paved by our ancestors," Levko Lukianenko leads anti-union treaty march down Kiev's main boulevard, the Khreshchatyk.
