GUIDES TO GERMAN RECORDS MICROFILMED AT ALEXANDRIA, VA. No. 49. Records of German Field Commands: Armies (Part VII) The National Archives National Archives and Records Service General Services Administration Washington: 1965 PREFACE This Guide is one of a series of finding aids describing the declassified seized German records deposited in the National Archives. The series was initiated by the Microfilming Project of the Committee for the Study of War Documents of the American Historical Association in cooperation with the National Archives and the Department of the Army. With the termination of the Microfilming Project in July 1963, the National Archives assumed sole responsibility for the reproduction of records and the preparation of Guides. This is one of a number of Guides projected to describe the records of the German Army field commands. These records are being micro- filmed in five groups: Records of Army Groups, Records of Armies, Records of Corps, Records of Divisions, and Occupation and Other Records. Constituting Part VII of army records, this Guide describes the contents of 263 microfilm rolls reproducing the records of the Eigh- teenth Army for the World War II period. While the bulk of the records covers the campaigns on the Eastern front, operations in the West in 1940 are also described to some extent. The provenance of the documents-cbscribed in this Guide is attributed to the Eighteenth Army, although a large proportion of the docu- ments were retired by AOK 18 to the Heeresarchiv Potsdam for permanent retention. At Potsdam an accession number was stamped or written on the cover, and it is by this numbering system that the folders were organized in the World War II Records Division and its predecessor, the Departmental Records Branch of the Department of the Army. All folders that had not gone through the Heeresarchiv accessioning process before capture or had never been retired to the Heereaarchiv were given folder numbers in an extension of the Heeresarchiv system using numbers above 75,000, but otherwise following the Potsdam pattern. Considerable information on the fate of German military records during World War II, especially on several fires with subsequent efforts to reconstruct the files, may be found in the records of the Chef des Heeresarchivs in the German Army High Command. (These records were filmed in T-78, Rolls 1-38, and are described in Guide No. 12 of this series). Descriptions of AOK 18 documents were prepared on cards. Each card has been filmed before the document it describes. The cards for all documents on one roll are also filmed at the beginning of that roll. This Guide contains the text of the cards. A short unit history and an organization index by staff section (Abteilung) precede the file item listing for each army. The unit history has also been filmed at the beginning of each roll of the unit's -records. At the time of the initial filming of the records described in this Guide, documents that were security classified were excluded. Since then, the documents have been declassified and descriptions of them have been included in the Guide. Although the declassified docu- ments have been inserted in their proper numerical order in the "File Item Listing", the roll and 1st frame numbers will be out of numerical order. iii The term "Roll" in the Guide refers to the sequences of the film. "1st Frame" gives the frame number of the first page of the folder. The "Item ^lo." is the identification symbol on the original folder. The "Item" provides (a) the abbreviation of the staff section that originated the document, and (b) the title appearing on the document cover or other information providing a general idea of the contents of the item. The original records have been returned to the Federal Republic of Germany, The microfilms have been deposited with the Exhibits and Publications Division, National Archives, Washington, B.C., 20408, as microcopy T-312. Philip P. Brower served as Editor of the Guide. The descriptions were prepared in part by the staff of the AHA Microfilming Project under the supervision of Dr. Willard Mien Fletcher, Director of the Project, and in part by Anthony Grassl and Petronilla Hawes under the guidance of Donald Spencer. Frs. Hawes also prepared the stencils. IV GERMAN MILITARY SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS la Operations abte ilung Battr. Batterie Ic Nachrichtenabteilung Baupi Bauoioniere Ic/A.O.

Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911.

  • Icebreakers at War: Flight of the Russian White Government from Archangel (19-25 February 1920)

    Icebreakers at War: Flight of the Russian White Government from Archangel (19-25 February 1920)

    Icebreakers at War: Flight of the Russian White Government from Archangel (19-25 February 1920) George Bolotenko En 1919, dès que les puissances interventionnistes en Russie ont compris que les bolchéviks allaient gagner, elles se sont mises à retirer leurs forces. Par conséquent, les gouvernements blancs de diverses régions, certaines formations militaires et de nombreux civils ont aussi choisi de quitter les lieux. Cet article traite d’une des évacuations, du port d’Arkhangelsk sur la mer Blanche en février 1920. Ce cas présente un intérêt parce que l’évacuation s’est déroulée sur un brise-glace, le Minin, lors d’une poursuite par un autre brise-glace, le Kanada (anciennement le Earl Grey, navire du gouvernement canadien). Les deux navires ont participé à des combats maritimes juste au sud du cercle polaire, probablement le seul événement de ce genre dans l’histoire maritime. Introduction The story told here is part of a larger historical phenomenon, the flight of White administrations, armies, military families and civilians out of Red Russia. As Red armies established control over the heartland, White opposition forces were pushed to the littorals, and eventually into flight. With some differences among them these departures more or less followed a similar pattern. The evacuations occurred on the eve of Red forces breaking through last lines of White defence; wounded and rear guard units were, willingly or not, left behind, as well as thousands of civilians; the ports of departure became scenes of chaos, disorder and desperation; people of influence and money found ways to assure a place aboard ship; anything that could float was utilized in these evacuations.

    A Highly Disreputable Enterprise: Men-on-the-Spot and the Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War, 1917-1920 Undergraduate Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation "with Honors Research Distinction in History" in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Conrad Allen The Ohio State University May 2016 Project Advisor: Professor Jennifer Siegel, Department of History The First World War ended on November 11, 1918. The guns that had battered away at each other in France and Belgium for four long years finally fell silent at eleven A.M. as the signed armistice went into effect. "There came a second of expectant silence, and then a curious rippling sound, which observers far behind the front likened to the noise of a light wind. It was the sound of men cheering from the Vosges to the sea," recorded South African soldier John Buchan, as victorious Allied troops went wild with celebration. "No sleep all night," wrote Harry Truman, then an artillery officer on the Western Front, "The infantry fired Very pistols, sent up all the flares they could lay their hands on, fired rifles, pistols, whatever else would make noise, all night long."1 They celebrated their victory, and the fact that they had survived the worst war of attrition the world had ever seen. "I've lived through the war!" cheered an airman in the mess hall of ace pilot Eddie Rickenbacker's American fighter squadron. "We won't be shot at any more!"2 But all was not quiet on every front.

TROSHINA, Doc. Sci. (Hist.), Professor E-mail: [email protected] Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Arkhangelsk, Russia; Northern State Medical University, Arkhangelsk, Russia Abstract. Based on historical material, the article presents the regional experience of searching for a model of economic development on the example of the Arkhangelsk Province's desire to get rid of the image of a “resource province” in the context of the growing importance of this region for the state. The article con- siders the period of the military-revolutionary era and the early NEP, which is short by historical standards, when, in the conditions of the inaction of other Russian ports, foreign policy sanctions, and a “trade block- ade”, the economically active community of Arkhangelsk sought to diversify the economic life of the region as much as possible, choosing a different vector of further development. The author noted the forms of responding to the challenges of the era that forced look for new ways of solving problems. There is a desire to find its way for the Arkhangelsk Province within the framework of a single state, and the unification of the European, Ural, and Siberian territories gravitating towards the White Seaports. These issues should be considered in terms of only economic interregional cooperation. Among the variety of development projects, the foreign trade aspect was selected for consideration.

    RECORDS OF THE GERMAN FIELD COMMANDS : CORPS (Part V) XXVIII. Armeekorps ( XXVIII Army Corps) The XXVIII Army Corps was formed in May 19*4-0 in Berlin, Wehrkreis III, and was immediately moved to the western front, where it advanced through parts of southern Holland, through Belgium, and into northern and western France. Its function during and after the western campaign was essentially that of bringing up reserve divisions and of commanding units engaged in coastal occupation duty in Normandy and Brittany. In April 19^1 the Corps was transferred to East Prussia, with headquarters at Friedland, to prepare for the campaign against the Soviet Union. It fought in the northern sec- tor of the eastern front, crossing the Lithuanian border at Janciai on June 22, 19^-1, and captured lonava and Daugavpills (Dunaburg) in its northeasterly thrust through Lithuania, eastern Latvia, and the southeastern edge of Estonia toward its prime target, Leningrad. Its divisions reached the Luga River in August 19^-1 and the Neva River a short time later. By September the Corps was in the imme- diate area of Leningrad, positioning itself south and east of the city. It remained southeast of Leningrad and engaged in position defense in the Lyuban, Tosno, and Tigoda River areas until early 19^U when it withdrew to the Pskov (Pleskau) and Ostrov area south of Lake Peipus. The Corps was still in the northern sector of the eastern front in mid- Item Dates Item No. Roll 1st Frame la, Kriegstagebuch 1, Teil 1; Ic, Tatigkeitsbericht.
