No. 4 \ With a keen sense of sorrow, the Governor announces to the Military and Naval forces of the State the death of Major General Walter G. Robinson, The Adjutant General of New York, at New York City on January 24, 1940. In his death the Military and Naval forces of the State of New York mourn the loss of an eminent citizen and a distinguished soldier. Since December 13, 1907, when General Robinson entered the National Guard of the State, his services to both the State and the Nation were marked by his great devotion to duty and a sense of loyalty that has been unexcelled. No man could be richer in his sympathy toward his subordinates nor more genuine in his fidelity to his superiors. Throughout his entire service, he won the respect and admiration of those who were privileged to be his associates. His military record is as follows: Commissioned 1st Lieutenant, Company "E", 2nd Infantry, New York National Guard, December 13, 1907; Captain, Company "E", 2nd Infantry, December 11, 1911; Major, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry, March 30, 1915; Regimental Machine Gun Officer, 105th Infantry, June 16, 1921; Transferred to command 3rd Battalion, 105th Infantry, July 8, 1922; Transferred to command 2nd Battalion, 105th Infantry, January 5, 1926; Commisisoned Lt. Colonel, 105th Infantry, March 5, 1926; Colonel, 105th Infantry, July 7, 1926; appointed Brigadier General, The Adjutant General, December 11, 1934, and Major General, The Adjutant General, January 10, 1940, which position he held at the time of his death. He was first mustered into Federal Service for duty on the Mexican Border, June 19, 1916, as Major, commanding 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry, and was mustered out of Federal Service November 8, 1916. He was again mustered into Federal Service for service in the World War, as Major, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry, March 25, 1917, which organization was later redesignated as 2nd Battalion, 105th Infantry; Transferred, as Major, to 1st Pioneer Infantry, United States Army, October 11, 1917; Commissioned Lt. Colonel, 1st Pioneer Infantry, December 30, 1918; Served in the American Expeditionary Forces with the latter regiment, participating in the Marne Offensive, the Oise-Aisne and Meuse-Argonne operations; Returning to the United States with his regiment, and mustered out of Federal Service on July 30, 1919. He attended and was graduated from the Army War College, Gl Course, in 1927. General Robinson was born in Auburn, New York, April 11, 1879. In respect to his memory, the National Flag will be displayed at half staff on all Military and Naval stations, armories or buildings of the National Guard and Naval Militia of the State until retreat, Saturday, January 27, 1940, the day of his funeral. The prescribed badge of mourning will be worn by all officers for a period of thirty days from the date of this order. BY COMMAND OF THE GOVERNOR: AMES T. BROWN, OFFICIAL: Colonel, A. G. D., N. Y. N.

  • The Buildup of the German War Economy: the Importance of the Nazi-Soviet Economic Agreements of 1939 and 1940 by Samantha Carl I
    The Buildup of the German War Economy: The Importance of the Nazi-Soviet Economic Agreements of 1939 and 1940 By Samantha Carl INTRODUCTION German-Soviet relations in the early half of the twentieth century have been marked by periods of rapprochement followed by increasing tensions. After World War I, where the nations fought on opposite sides, Germany and the Soviet Union focused on their respective domestic problems and tensions began to ease. During the 1920s, Germany and the Soviet Union moved toward normal relations with the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo in 1922.(1) Tensions were once again apparent after 1933, when Adolf Hitler gained power in Germany. Using propaganda and anti-Bolshevik rhetoric, Hitler depicted the Soviet Union as Germany's true enemy.(2) Despite the animosity between the two nations, the benefits of trade enabled them to maintain economic relations throughout the inter-war period. It was this very relationship that paved the way for the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of 1939 and the subsequent outbreak of World War II. Nazi-Soviet relations on the eve of the war were vital to the war movement of each respective nation. In essence, the conclusion of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact on August 23, 1939 allowed Germany to augment its war effort while diminishing the Soviet fear of a German invasion.(3) The betterment of relations was a carefully planned program in which Hitler sought to achieve two important goals. First, he sought to prevent a two-front war from developing upon the invasion of Poland. Second, he sought to gain valuable raw materials that were necessary for the war movement.(4) The only way to meet these goals was to pursue the completion of two pacts with the Soviet Union: an economic agreement as well as a political one.

  • CHAPTER 2 the VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security
    CHAPTER 2 THE VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security CHAPTER 2 8 THE VITAL FUNCTION World War II and Diplomatic Security The experiences of the World War II era (1933-1945) expanded and solidified diplomatic security as a vital function of the Department of State. From the first days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency, the Department faced grave threats to U.S. diplomacy, primarily from Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan. As a result, the Department broadened its definition of security and expanded the number of entities monitoring and enforcing security. The Department’s new, expanded security apparatus under President Roosevelt, however, was disjointed. Security responsibilities were dispersed across multiple offices with overlapping jurisdictions. Moreover, the Office of the Chief Special Agent, which had handled security since World War I, often was not involved in many of the new security measures. By the end of World War II, the Department was implementing security in a more extensive, formalized manner that touched and altered every level of the Department’s operations. In fact, many security measures first implemented during World War II—such as coded ID badges, formal document classification procedures, and a courier network—are today accepted as part of the Department’s normal, daily routine. Moscow and Berlin When Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed the Presidency in March 1933, the Department of State faced diplomatic security threats from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Throughout the 1930s, the regimes of both nations respectively targeted the U.S. Embassies in Berlin and Moscow for espionage. Security problems at the U.S.

  • Timeline April 1940
    TIMELINE APRIL 1940 There are varying opinions as to when the Phoney War came to an end. Some say it was in April 1940 with the invasion of Norway and the first really significant and direct engagement on land between Ger- man and British forces. Others say that it was in May with the invasion of the low countries and France, and, of course, Dunkirk. Wherever you stand on this point there can be no doubt that the battle for Norway marked the point of no return – any slim hopes of securing a peace settlement were effectively blown sky high. April 1940 is ALL about the battle for Norway, and I make no apologies for the fact that I am going to talk mostly about that as we work through our timeline for the month. I’m going to start by clarifying the status of the Scandinavian countries in the run-up to the battle – and by that I mean Denmark, Norway and Sweden, leaving Finland to one side for the moment - and by briefly taking you back to events that we have already covered as they set the scene, or perhaps lit the fuse, for what was to come. SCANDINAVIA 1939 At the outbreak of war all three of these Scandinavian countries were neutral, and it would have served German strategic interests for all of them to have remained neutral throughout the war. But this attitude changed in the Spring of 1940 largely as a result of actual or feared allied actions to either draw the Scandinavian countries into the war, or to gain control of Scandinavian territory.

  • Timeline June 1940
    TIMELINE—JUNE 1940 This month is mainly about the fall of France, and the continued evacuation of Allied troops not just from Dunkirk but other north western ports. It also sees Italy enter the war, albeit ill-prepared to do so. It ends as the Battle of Britain begins. On 1st June, as Operation Dynamo continued, a further 64,429 Allied troops were evacuated from Dunkirk. The following day Hitler set foot on French territory for the first time, visiting the Canadian National War Memorial at Vimy Ridge near Arras. It had been rumoured, and widely reported, that the Germans had destroyed the memorial, and it is thought that Hitler chose to visit the site to prove otherwise. It is also suggested that he particularly admired the memorial because it is a monument to peace, not a celebration of war. Make of that what you will! Whatever, he ensured that the monument was protected throughout the war. On 3rd June the last British troops were evacuated from Dunkirk, and overnight over 26,000 French troops. At 10.20am on 4th June the Germans occupied the city and captured the 40,000 French troops who were left. Dunkirk was reduced to rubble. Overall Operation Dynamo had rescued 338,226 men – two thirds of them British – from the beaches of Dunkirk, although 243 vessels and 106 aircraft had been destroyed in the process. Lord Gort, the Commander of the BEF, was also evacuated, leaving Lt General Harold Alexander in command of the remaining troops Among those still in France was Private Herbert Mutton.

  • The German Military Mission to Romania, 1940-1941 by Richard L. Dinardo
    The German Military Mission to Romania, 1940–1941 By RICHARD L. Di NARDO hen one thinks of security assistance and the train- ing of foreign troops, W Adolf Hitler’s Germany is not a country that typically comes to mind. Yet there were two instances in World War II when Germany did indeed deploy troops to other countries that were in noncombat cir- cumstances. The countries in question were Finland and Romania, and the German mili- tary mission to Romania is the subject of this article. The activities of the German mission to Romania are discussed and analyzed, and some conclusions and hopefully a few take- aways are offered that could be relevant for military professionals today. Creation of the Mission The matter of how the German military mission to Romania came into being can be covered relatively quickly. In late June 1940, the Soviet Union demanded from Romania the cession of both Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. The only advice Germany could give to the Romanian government was to agree to surrender the territory.1 Fearful of further Soviet encroachments, the Roma- nian government made a series of pleas to Germany including a personal appeal from Wikimedia Commons King Carol II to Hitler for German military assistance in the summer of 1940. Hitler, Finnish Volunteer Battalion of German Waffen-SS return home from front in 1943 however, was not yet willing to undertake such a step. Thus, all Romanian requests were rebuffed with Hitler telling Carol that Romania brought its own problems upon itself by its prior pro-Allied policy.
