The Association's Finances After deducting our $5,000 contribution for The Heritage Mu­ Sincerly in Love seum Chapel, there remains $10,127.44 in our general ac­ Jim count. Our Heritage Museum Memorial Fund account con­ tains $16,592.00 at the time of the preparation of this report. While we have met our Memorial fund account goal, contri­ butions from those who have not yet participated would help in the event there are some unanticipated expenses. Cost overruns unfortunately are usually par for the course. Fund overage, if any, would be turned over to the Association's general account. It is the general account which gives cause for concern. Pub­ lication for the Hardlife Herald costs as much as we currently have in our general account. In 1997, we received only $2,749 in dues and donations. We are solvent by virtue of the fact that $13,000 was transferred to our general account by the Tucson Reunion Committee. The Executive Committee is currently considering means to generate funds as to make our organization somewhat more comfortable financially.

At the time, Germany’s leader was Adolf Hitler. He was the leader of the Nazi party, and he believed that there was a superior race of people: the Aryan race. He was so intolerant of people that were not part of the Aryan race that the Nazis began to kill people. He particularly targeted the Jewish community in Europe. The war began because the Allies knew the Nazis needed to be stopped. Over 75 million people were killed in total, which is the most deaths from any war in history. Try it at home 1. 1.

  • New Hamburg-Nuremberg Block-Train Service Started by Vienna-Based Roland Spedition
    New Hamburg-Nuremberg Block-Train Service Started by Vienna-based Roland Spedition Starting last week, Vienna-based Roland Spedition forwarders is running its own container-block-train service linking three Hamburg Container Terminals: CTA, CTB and EKOM/EUROGATE with the TRICON Terminal in Nuremberg. Initially, there are three weekly departures on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from Hamburg. The containers are available for collection at the TRICON Terminal in Nuremberg on Tuesdays from 10.00 am, Thursdays from 6.00 am and Fridays from 11.00 am. Nikolaus Hirnschall M.A. of Roland Spedition Vienna points out that block-trains for on-carriage from Nuremberg to Austria also transport empty containers to Linz, Enns, Vienna and Graz. “The round-trip service, Hamburg-Nuremberg-Austria-Hamburg, offers additional fast and environment-friendly transport capacity by rail on the Hamburg-Nuremberg leg, for import containers coming out of the Port of Hamburg en route to the economically- strong Nuremberg region. There is real interest in the new train showing its acceptance in the market place. With the service from Nuremberg to Austria, we additionally offer our customers cost-effective empty container positioning. Interested shippers can obtain a thorough briefing on the new train products and offerings from the Roland Spedition sales team,” explains Hirnschall. Bavaria is the most important partner for container hinterland transport for the Port of Hamburg. Its strongly export-oriented commerce exploits Hamburg’s dense network of liner services for global goods distribution. Almost every port in the world is reachable via Hamburg. Some 750,000 standard containers (TEU) were transported to/from Bavaria via Hamburg in 2015.

  • 9 October 1944
    The Star, 9th October 1944 Fire Fighting Heroes of the Blitz By T. H. CRAMB, “STAR” REPORTER There are several details of the Sheffield blitz, December 1940 which have never come to light. Some never will, but one service which had many heroes during the rain of fire and destruction on the city was the Fire Service. Some of the work which the Auxiliary Fire Service - as it was then known - performed that night can now be told. Heroism, devotion to duty, service under difficulties, undaunted spirits, and hard work all rolled into one aptly describes those firemen’s night way back in 1940. They were called and not found wanting. They answered the call of the sirens, they stood their ground, and they did their best. Appliances got stuck in bomb craters. In some cases the crews managed to get them out; others had to be left as they were damaged. One pump received a direct hit as it was working and three of the crew were killed and another injured, while another pump was wrecked by the blast of a nearby bomb. Five Men Killed During the night five members of the Service were killed and 56 injured, 12 of them seriously - a very small number considering the total number of personnel actively engaged during the raid. Page 1 of 4 Researched by John Hague, and re-typed and formatted from the original material by Edward Mullins Information had been received earlier in the evening that Sheffield was likely to receive a strong visit from the Luftwaffe that night, with the result that as much preparedness as possible was made.

In March 1943 General Arnold suggested a mission against German ball-bearing Mplants. The "Casablanca Directive" of 21 January 1943 listed priority targets in the air offensive against Germany and was further modified by American and British experts. First on this list was the aircraft industry (both airframes and engines) and second was ball- bearing manufacturers. It was believed that destruction of ball-bearing production would cause an insurmountable bottleneck in German industry. During this planning period, the 8th Air Force Bomber and Fighter Group strength had been expanded and the planners felt that a mission against Schweinfurt was practical, despite the long distance to the target. The 8th Air Force mission plan was complex and required close timing. The 1st Air Task Force, led by Col. Curtis LeMay of the 4th Bomb Wing, consisted of 146 aircraft divided into three Combat Wings which took off at three minute intervals between Wings.

  • The Origins of Mad: a Short History of City-Busting
    CHAPTER 1 THE ORIGINS OF MAD: A SHORT HISTORY OF CITY-BUSTING Richard R. Muller INTRODUCTION The 20th century was the age of total war, and nothing symbolized that dreadful era more than the bombardment of civilian populations from the air. From its halting beginnings in the First World War, in which 1,141 Britons lost their lives, strategic bombing evolved into the mass air raids of the Second World War, in which some 52,000 British, 330,000 Japanese, and anywhere from 300,000 to 1,000,000 German civilians perished. Nations poured scarce blood and treasure into the development and manning of vast bomber fl eets capable of carrying the war directly to enemy economic and population centers in the hope that this investment would prove decisive in modern warfare.1 The underlying rationale for strategic air warfare predates the reality of manned powered fl ight. Before the arrival of the machine age, wars were fought primarily between the armed forces of the belligerents. The 19th century Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz noted that, while the “center of gravity . the hub of all power and movement” of an enemy state was normally its army, it could also be the capital, a key ally, or even public opinion.2 National power, therefore, could not be measured solely in terms of traditional military capability. Political will, economic productivity, transportation, commerce, and communications became increasingly important factors in struggles between the great powers. The advent of the commercial, fi nancial, and industrial revolutions brought with it the rise of the modern urban center, in which many of these elements were concentrated.
