  • Introduction
    Title: Daring Missions of World War II Author: William B. Breuer ISBN: 0-471-40419-5 Introduction World war ii, the mightiest endeavor that history has known, was fought in many arenas other than by direct confrontation between opposing forces. One of the most significant of these extra dimensions was a secret war-within-a-war that raged behind enemy lines, a term that refers to actions taken a short dis- tance to the rear of an adversary’s battlefield positions or as far removed as a foe’s capital or major headquarters. Relentlessly, both sides sought to penetrate each other’s domain to dig out intelligence, plant rumors, gain a tactical advantage, spread propaganda, create confusion, or inflict mayhem. Many ingenious techniques were employed to infiltrate an antagonist’s territory, including a platoon of German troops dressed as women refugees and pushing baby carriages filled with weapons to spearhead the invasion of Belgium. Germans also wore Dutch uniforms to invade Holland. The Nazi attack against Poland was preceded by German soldiers dressed as civilians and by others wearing Polish uniforms. In North Africa, British sol- diers masqueraded as Germans to strike at enemy airfields, and both sides dressed as Arabs on occasion. One British officer in Italy disguised himself as an Italian colonel to get inside a major German headquarters and steal vital information. In the Pacific, an American sergeant of Japanese descent put on a Japan- ese officer’s uniform, sneaked behind opposing lines, and brought back thir- teen enemy soldiers who had obeyed his order to lay down their weapons.

  • User Documentation. Panzer Campaigns: Moscow
    Whenever I think of this attack, my stomach turns over … Adolph Hitler speaking to Heinz Guderian, 14 May 1943 THE BATTLE The Battle of Kursk is probably one of the best known Eastern Front battles in the West. That said, there has only been deep research on the battle in the last twenty years after the opening of the Soviet archives in the early 1990’s. Many of the ‘truths’ of Kursk have been found to be based more on fiction than fact. Claims such as the largest tank battle of the Second World War are wrong (that crown is held by the armoured battles in the Southern Ukraine around Dubno in the first fortnight of Operation Barbarossa) as is the heavy losses of troops and tanks suffered by the Germans. Many of the operational details of the battle are well known, but there is much less information available at the tactical level. Amazingly there has only been one detailed review of the pivotal battle of Prokhorovka written to date and available in English (Valeriy Zamulin’s: Destroying the Myth). Page 2 This first release in the Panzer Battles franchise is focused on the Southern flank of the Kursk battle. The offensive action by Army Group South (Heeresgruppe Sud) was countered by the defence and ultimately offense of Voronezh and Steppe Fronts. The dates covered are from July 4th 1943 to July 12th 1943. THE MAP The map used for the Battles of Kursk scenarios is based off a section of the Panzer Campaigns Kursk ’43 map. The map creator took the base map and expanded it to 250 meter hexes from the original 1km.

THE SWORD OF STALINGRAD Most scholars recognize Antony Beevor’s 1998 book, Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege, as the best account of the battle. Beevor interviewed survivors and uncovered extraordinary documents in both German and Russian archives. His monumental work discusses Vasily Zaitsev and his talents as a sniper. But of the duel story, Beevor reports, at page 204: Some Soviet sources claim that the Germans brought in the chief of their sniper school to hunt down Zaitsev, but that Zaitsev outwitted him. Zaitsev, after a hunt of several days, apparently spotted his hide under a sheet of corrugated iron, and shot him dead. The telescopic sight off his prey’s rifle, allegedly Zaitsev’s most treasured trophy, is still exhibited in the Moscow armed forces museum, but this dramatic story remains essentially unconvincing. If the telescopic sight is still on display, and the story made all the papers, why does Beevor think it is not convincing? It is worth noting that there is absolutely no mention of it[the duel] in any of the reports to Shcherbakov [chief of the Red Army political department], even though almost every aspect of ‘sniperism’ was reported with relish. What did Vasily Zaitsev have to say about the duel? Living to old age in the Ukraine, where he was the director of an engineering school in Kiev, this Hero of the Soviet Union was apparently quoted by Alan Clark in Barbarossa: The sun rose.

What place did foreign musical performers have in Germany’s increasingly xenophobic employment market during the 1930s? Likewise, how did the Nazis deal with those musicians, and what margin of manoeuvre were foreigners given to carry out their craft? These are the questions that form the basis of this thesis. To answer them, I examine a collection of primary Reichsmusikkammer (Reich Music Chamber) records that are now held on microfilm in the United States National Archives, grouped under the description “Auftrittsgenehmigungen für Ausländer” (Performance Permits for Foreigners; specifically musicians).
