The Course of World War II Class 4 William A
The Course of World War II Class 4 William A. Reader [email protected] The Nazi-Soviet Pact Hitler on Poland On 28 March 1939, Hitler denounced the 1934 Non-Aggression Pact with Poland and had his military begin preparations for an invasion of Poland Hitler had two problems with Poland • Situated between Germany and Russia, Poland barred the invasion route into Russia • Poland had a large German population and territories that Hitler felt belonged to Germany To ensure the quiet eastern border that Hitler desired for his attack on France, Poland had to subordinate itself to Germany Hitler on Poland - 2 To Hitler, Polish subordination meant • Joining the Anti-Comintern Pact • Ceding Danzig and predominantly-German areas to Germany • Allowing Germany to build a highway across the Polish corridor While Poland was willing to negotiate over Danzig and allow Germany to build a highway across the Polish Corridor, it would not cede territory to Germany nor join the Anti-Comintern Pact This led Hitler to decide on an invasion of Poland • It also led him to seek an agreement with Stalin Stalin’s View of Nazism Stalin saw National Socialism as simply a nastier form of monopoly capitalism – more brutal than the capitalism of the Western democracies but essentially the same • Stalin did not realize that Hitler and the Nazis were racist ideologues committed to expansion eastward and to the replacement of Russians by Germans as the population of Western Russia • What Stalin did not understand was that, under Hitler, Germany’s capitalist and economic -
Academy Award® Winner the Adventures of Robin Hood
ACADEMY AWARD® WINNER THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) SCREENING SPOTLIGHTS THE PRODUCTION DESIGNS OF CARL JULES WEYL PRESENTED BY THE ART DIRECTORS GUILD FILM SOCIETY AND AMERICAN CINEMATHEQUE Sunday, June 28 at 5:30 PM at the Aero Theatre in Hollywood LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2015 - The Art Directors Guild (ADG) Film Society and American Cinematheque will present a screening of Errol Flynn’s swashbuckling adventure fantasy THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) spotlighting the production design by Academy Award®- winning designer Carl Jules Weyl, as part of the 2015 ADG Film Series on Sunday, June 28, at 5:30 P.M. at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. The ADG “Confessions of a Production Designer” Film Series is sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter. “Welcome to Sherwood, my lady!” Legendary, beloved, much imitated but never surpassed, The Adventures of Robin Hood is pure escapism epitomizing the very best in classical Hollywood matinee adventure storytelling. Rich in its visual imagination, it remains a case study in film design excellence. Inspired by the romantic illustrations of famed illustrator and artist N.C. Wyeth, Carl Jules Weyl’s masterful designs served well this Warner Bros.’ first venture into three-strip Technicolor productions. “The Adventures of Robin Hood remains a fitting tribute to the achievements and talent of this exceptional designer, as well as being a reminder of the many less celebrated but equally gifted masters of design who have left us with a visually-inspired legacy,” said Production Designer Thomas A. Walsh, -
Gilmour on Bennett, 'One World, Big Screen: Hollywood, the Allies, and World War II'
H-War Gilmour on Bennett, 'One World, Big Screen: Hollywood, the Allies, and World War II' Review published on Saturday, June 1, 2013 M. Todd Bennett. One World, Big Screen: Hollywood, the Allies, and World War II. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2012. xiii + 362 pp. $39.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8078-3574-6. Reviewed by Colin Gilmour (McGill University) Published on H-War (June, 2013) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey M. Todd Bennett’s One World, Big Screen opens to the dichotomy of the well-known photograph of Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin as a seated trio at the Tehran Conference in 1943, and a lesser-known image of the same scene but from a further vantage point. The crowd of newspapermen and photographers visible in the second image, Bennett notes, speaks to the behind- the-scenes engineering which made possible the temporary unity of the three very different leaders and countries. Like this latter photo, One World, Big Screen aims to take “a fresh approach that reveals a transnational cultural dimension to the historical rise of the United Nations, World War II, and foreign relations more broadly” (p. 2). The book begins by documenting the parallel developments of film and propaganda in the United States before American entry into the war in December 1941. After documenting the interwar debate over propaganda as a legitimate tool for communicating political aims or an “un-American” trick (p. 25), Bennett chronicles the development of the partnership between Hollywood and interventionist policymakers after the onset of the Second World War. -

Interview with Ted Sorensen, President Kennedy's Speechwriter by Sherry and Jenny Thompson, February 2010
Sorensen interview with Jenny and Sherry February 2010 Q. Your relationship to Thompson and his to Kennedy When John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960, one of the reasons he ran was because at the height of the Cold War he was fearful that the Eisenhower/Dulles foreign policy of massive retaliation might only lead to nuclear war. Your father, Llewellyn Thompson, who had been US ambassador in Moscow during those late 50’s years was I’m quite certain a career a foreign service officer who was appointed I’m not sure what his title was counselor or maybe Ambassador at Large in the State Department. When CMC broke, (and more details in my new book called Councilor: Life at the Edge of History) on Oct. 16 the first of 13 memorable days of 1962. Historians still call them the 13 most dangerous days in the history of mankind. Because a misstep a wrong move could have started a war which would have turned very quickly into a nuclear exchange. And if the first step were Soviets firing tactical nuclear weapons, The United States, would have responded at least with tactical nuclear weapons and once both sides were on that nuclear escalator, they would have moved up to strategic weapons and then to all-out warfare, and the scientists say that the explosion of so many large nuclear weapons in both eastern Europe and in North America would have produced, in addition to the bombardment of 100s of thousands and millions of people in both countries, would have resulted in radioactive poisoning of the atmosphere and in time of every dimension of our planet and would be speed via wind and water and even soil to the far reaches of the planet until that planet was uninhabitable: no plant life, no animal life, no human life, and we you and I would not be talking right now. -
Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability. -

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF David Hoien Overby for the Master of Science in Teaching History presented May 24, 1973. Title: The Diplomatic Stalemate of Japan and the United States: 1941. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESI Bernard v. Burke, Chainnan George c. Hoffma~ ~ This thesis contends from the time of September 1940 to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States and Japan offered each no workable concessions that might have deterred war. A stalemate was finnly established between the two countries. The position ,of the Japanese nation was to expand and control "Greater East-Asia," while the position the United States held was one that claimed all nations should uphold certain basic principles of democracy, that all nations should honor the sanctity of treaties," and that they should treat neighboring countries in a friendly fashion.
