  • Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries
    Introduction Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries Version: 01 April 2019. Introduction Terminology Bibliography By: Henry L. deZeng IV and Douglas G. Stankey I N T R O D U C T I O N This work is the sum total of many years of collecting data concerning the careers of some of the officers of the Luftwaffe during the Third Reich period. In a change in policy, we now include all commissioned officers known to have served in the Luftwaffe during the Third Reich period. Thus the 73,500 officers represented here are only a fraction of the approximately 120,000 officers and senior officials (Beamte) of officer rank that the Luftwaffe possessed over this period. Nor is the data complete. Due to the near total destruction of official records, we resorted to taking information from the microfilms of the few surviving records and from better quality books. An estimated 75% of the entries were taken from the thousands of wartime Luftwaffe personnel branch’s officer assignment and promotion orders that constitute a microfilmed collection of some 50,000 pages of documentation. Due to the fragmentary nature of our sources, there have been some unavoidable errors for data of those with similar or identical names. While every reasonable effort has been made to distinguish individuals, some comingling of data between them has taken place. Another related issue has been duplicate entries for a given person. These problems are insidious and are corrected as they are found. The level of detail per individual varies from near complete to only a trace reference.

In “Ships of State?,” Christopher R. O’Dea describes how China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited has come to control a rapidly expanding network of ports and terminals, ostensibly for commercial purposes, but has thereby gained the ability to project power through the increased physical presence of its naval vessels—turning the oceans that historically have protected the United States from foreign threats into a venue in which China can challenge U.S. interests.

  • Involvement of Partner City Wrocław/Oleśnica World War II
    Involvement of partner city Wrocław/Oleśnica World War II Author: Piotr Michałowski 20.02.2016 Poland, the liberated state as created in 1918 after the end of the WWI, was dreamed of for many years. When it appeared, the happiness didn’t last for a long time. Poland was in that time deeply into inside conflicts and when building the governing system it was romantic to think that in an environment of growing powers, like the Third Reich or Soviet Russia, the country would be left untouched. The German philosopher Edmund Husserl would say that Poland was deep in the Lifeworld (Lebenswelt) -sometimes defined as a bubble- that it is hard to put on an equal rule with the others. In his ‘Crisis of the European Science and Transcendental Phenomenology’ (published in 1936) he wrote: “In whatever way we may be conscious of the world as a universal horizon, as a coherent universe of existing objects, we -each “I-the-man” and all of us together- belong to the world as though living with one another in the world; and the world is the world, valid for our consciousness as existing precisely through this ‘living together’”1. World War II started on the 1st of September, 1939 with an attack on the Polish harbour in Gdańsk in the west and with the bombing of the city of Wieluń in central Poland. The country was invaded by Nazi Germany from the West and on the 17 th of September from the East by Soviet Russia. The second date, after The War ended, would be forbidden to mention due to Soviet propaganda.

  • The Story of Malta: Appendix
    AKHIL KADIDAL THE STORY OF MALTA: APPENDIX AIR HEADQUARTERS MALTA HQ: Valletta, Malta Air Vice-Marshal Forster Maynard – 1939 Air Vice-Marshal Hugh P. Lloyd May – 26 December 1941 Air Vice-Marshal Sir Keith Park – 15 July 1942 to 1944 Air Vice-Marshal R.M. Foster – 26 March 1944 Air Vice-Marshal K.B. Lloyd – 19 October 1944 to 6 June 1947 Air Headquarters Malta was formed on 26 December 1941 by renaming RAF Mediterranean. Subordinate to Middle East Command, Air HQ Malta was transferred to Mediterranean Air Command on 18 February 1943, and then to HQ Mediterranean Allied Air Forces on 10 January 1944. On 1 August 1945, the formation was transferred to RAF Mediterranean and Middle East, and granted independent command status on 1 December 1953. Air HQ Malta was disbanded on 30 June 1968. RAF Order of Battle June 1940 to May 1943 First Period, June 1940 to February 1942 The air war began in Malta with token strength of six antiquated Gladiator fighters. A force of Hurricane’s was flown in and this constituted No.412 Flight. In late-1940 RAF Wellingtons (five squadrons) were based on the island and were the only offensive capability Malta possessed. In January 1941, however, all these were destroyed on the ground in a series of intense air attacks. Meantime, Hurricane fighters were constantly ferried to the island to replace losses and to increase the number fighters on Malta. In all, 361 Hurricanes were ferried towards Malta since August 1940 of which 303 reached the island, and of which 150 went on to North Africa.
