The focal point of the journal remained at international level, with the view on matters from a global perspective. However, due to their importance, in this issue have been published some papers relating to some specific local events.

  • Babadzhanian, Hamazasp
    Babadzhanian, Hamazasp Born: February 18th, 1906 Died: November 1st, 1977 (Aged 71) Ethnicity: Armenian Field of Activity: Red Army Brief Biography Hamazasp Khachaturi Babadzhanian was a Russian military general who served during multiple wars for the Soviet Union, rising to prominence during the Great Patriotic War. He was born in 1906 into an impecunious Armenian family in Chardakhlu, Azerbaijan. He attended a secondary school in Tiflis in 1915 but due to familial financial difficulties was forced to return home and toil in the fields on his family’s plot of land, later working as a highway worker during 1923-24. Babadzhanian joined the Red Army in 1925 and later attended a Military School in Yerevan in 1926, graduating as an officer in 1929, as well as joining the Soviet Communist Party in 1928. He received various postings, mopping up armed gangs in the Caucasus region in 1930 and aided in liquidating the Kulak revolt. Babadzhanian moved around frequently, generally within the Transcaucasus and Baku regions, until 1939-1940, when he served in the Finno-Soviet war. He played a pivotal role in numerous battles in World War 2, participating in the battle of Smolensk, as well as contributing a fundamentally in Yelnya, where he overcame a far superior German force. For his efforts in recapturing Stanslav he received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. He provided support in Poland, as well fighting in Berlin, contributing to the capture of the Reichstag. After the Great Patriotic War Babadzhanian would prove crucial in quelling the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, and some time after in 1975 became Chief Marshal of the Tank and Armoured Troops, a rank only he and one other attained.

  • THE BATTLE of STALINGRAD Belligerents
    THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD DATE: AUGUST 23 1942 – FEBRUARY 02 1943 Belligerents Germany Soviet Union Italy Romania Hungary Croatia The Battle of Stalingrad was a brutal military campaign between Russian forces and those of Nazi Germany and the Axis powers during World War 2. The battle is infamous as one of the largest, longest and bloodiest engagements in modern warfare: from August 1942 through February 1943, more than two million troops fought in close quarters – and nearly two million people were killed or injured in the fighting, including tens of thousands of Russian civilians. But the Battle of Stalingrad (one of Russia’s important industrial cities) ultimately turned the tide of World War 2 in favor of the Allied forces. PRELUDE In the middle of World War 2 – having captured territory in much of present-day Ukraine and Belarus in the spring on 1942 – Germany’s Wehrmacht forces decide to mount an offensive on southern Russia in the summer of that year. Under the leadership of ruthless head of state Joseph Stalin, Russian forces had already successfully rebuffed a German attack on the western part of the country – one that had the ultimate goal of taking Moscow – during the winter of 1941-42. However, Stalin’s Red Army had suffered significant losses in the fighting, both in terms of manpower and weaponry. Stalin and his generals, including future Soviet Union leader Nikita Khrushchev, fully expected another Nazi attack to be aimed at Moscow. However, Hitler and the Wehrmacht had other ideas. They set their sights on Stalingrad; the city served as an industrial center in Russia, producing, among other important goods, artillery for the country’s troops.

  • 7 Common Misconceptions About World War II
    Seven Common Misconceptions about World War II World War II ended three-quarters of a century ago. Now only a tiny and fast- dwindling number of Americans still possess an active memory of the conflict, and most of the rest of us view what happened through the gauzy tissue of fiction and faulty memory. The United States won the war, didn’t we? Through the unparalleled courage of the “Greatest Generation” and the awesome industrial power of our economy, we overwhelmed the Nazi juggernaut in little more than three years and brought Imperial Japan to her knees in less than four. Well, yes. There’s more than a fair measure of truth in all that. In fact, it’s true as far as it goes. But the story of the Second World War is far, far bigger, and far more complex. Most Americans labor under misconceptions about its true nature. And that truth is hiding in plain sight for anyone willing to look closely. Here goes . #1. World War II lasted for four years. Some historians consider World Wars I and II to be part of a single protracted conflict— a twentieth-century Thirty Years’ War, if you will. Others argue that the second global war began in 1931 when Japan’s renegade Kwantung Army engineered the Mukden Incident and subsequently invaded Manchuria. Others still might contend that the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935-37 or the German and Italian involvement in the Spanish Civil War in 1936-39, usually thought a dry run for the Axis, should be considered of a piece with the global conflict.

The operation commenced on 12 December 1942 and was able to advance just halfway to its objective, up to the Myshkova River, before a Soviet outflanking move further to the north forced the relief force to break off and withdraw, dooming the Sixth Army to defeat and capture. 9 x5 The relief attempt depended on a makeshift armoured corps of three panzer divisions, totalling 75,000 men and 500 tanks, assembled by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein. He put General Hoth in charge of the spearhead. The 6th Panzer Division came from refitting in France after nine months on the Eastern Front. The 17th Panzer Division came from Army Group Centre on the Zhizdra front, and the 23rd Panzer Division, recovering from a narrowly averted disaster before Orzhonikidze, came from Army Group A in the Caucasus. These three divisions constituted the LVII Panzer Corps. 10 x2 LVII Panzer Corps was assembled at Kotelnikovo, with 6th Panzer in the middle, 17th Panzer to its left and 23rd Panzer to its right, and the offensive began on 12 December.

URL: http://h-diplo.org/essays/PDF/E111.pdf Reviewed for H-Diplo by Hiroaki Kuromiya, Indiana University arshal Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov (1896–1974) is a giant figure in military history. He is known as one of Stalin’s military commanders who led the Soviet M Union’s victory over Hitler’s mighty Wehrmacht. He is said to have played a decisive role in almost all critical battles, beginning with the defense of Leningrad and Moscow in the autumn of 1941 and ending with the conquest of Berlin in May 1945. Zhukov is the Soviet commander who on 8–9 May 1945 officially accepted Germany’s surrender in Berlin. (This was a second ceremony of German capitulation that was hastily organized at the insistence of Stalin who considered the original ceremony, held on 7 May in Reims, France, inadequate in highlighting the Soviet contribution.) Stalin appointed Zhukov the inspector of the victory parade that took place in Moscow’s Red Square on 24 June 1945. Zhukov took part in the Potsdam Conference in July 1945, establishing a rapport with Western military leaders such as General Dwight David Eisenhower, Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, and others.
