    LiberationLiberation Liberation 65th ANNIVERSARY 2010 By Rona Mendelsohn During the final weeks of World War II, the task of freeing the western por- tion of Czechoslovakia fell to the soldiers of the American Third Army, led by General George S. Patton, Jr. The following article is a day-by-day account of that momentous two-week period, which is clearly etched in the memories of those who lived through it. Many Czech citizens have written to the Ameri- can Embassy, sending photographs and sharing their recollections of those days in great detail. The Embassy thanks them for their generous assistance and valuable information. This account, however, has been compiled from the American side. It was written by Rona Mendelsohn, a professional writer in Washington, D. C, after consulting more than 20 original sources, including letters, books, military records, newspaper articles, and personal interviews. Cover and left: After its liberation, Pilsen was the scene of a victory parade by the U.S. 3rd Army. 1 n May 4, 1945, General the passes before anything hit us.” He had George S.

Rowan Tracey General Sir Thomas Blamey was commander-in-chief of the Australian Military Forces during World War II. Tough and decisive, he did not resile from sacking ineffective senior commanders when the situation demanded. He has been widely criticised by more recent historians for his role in the sackings of Lieutenant-General S. F. Rowell, Major-General A. S. Allen and Brigadier A. W. Potts during the Kokoda Campaign of 1942. Rowan Tracey examines each sacking and concludes that Blameyʼs actions in each case were justified. On 16 September 1950, a small crowd assembled in High Command in Australia in 1942 the sunroom of the west wing of the Repatriation In September 1938, Blamey was appointed General Hospital at Heidelberg in Melbourne.

As preparations were made for the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, with its emphasis upon American accomplishments and customs, it was not surprising that someone suggested a horse race from the West to Chicago. The ride was designed to pit skilled Western horsemen against each other over a one thousand-mile route spanning the three states of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. This article presents the planning, the promotion, the opposition, and the story of the actual race. Cataloging Information: Names: A C Putnam, N H Weir, William

  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

Issue 30, 2021 On morning of 1 July 1945 hundreds of warships and vessels from the United States Navy, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), and the Royal Netherlands Navy lay off the coast of Balikpapan, an oil refining centre on Borneo’s south-east coast. An Australian soldier described the scene: Landing craft are in formation and swing towards the shore. The naval gunfire is gaining momentum, the noise from the guns and bombs exploding is terrific … waves of Liberators [heavy bombers] are pounding the area.1 This offensive to land the veteran 7th Australian Infantry Division at Balikpapan was the last of a series amphibious operations conducted by the Allies to liberate areas of Dutch and British territory on Borneo. It was the largest amphibious operation conducted by Australian forces during the Second World War. Within an hour some 16,500 troops were ashore and pushing inland, along with nearly 1,000 vehicles.2 Ultimately more than 33,000 personnel from the 7th Division and Allied forces were landed in the amphibious assault.3 Balikpapan is often cited as an example of the expertise achieved by Australian forces in amphibious operations during the war.4 It was a remarkable development.

  • The Battle of Messines
    CHAPTER XV THE BATTLE OF MESSINES-JUNE 7TH BEFOREmost great attacks on the Western Front, during that critical last night in which, generally, the infantry left its billets and made its way, first, in column of fours on dark roads beside moving wheel and motor traffic, then, usually in file, along tracks marked across the open, and finally into communication trenches to wind silently out in the small hours and line the “ jumping-off ” trenches or white tapes laid in the long wet grass of open No-Man’s Land, where for an hour or two it must await the signal to assault-during these critical hours one thought was usually uppermost in the men’s minds: does the enemy know? With the tactics of 1917,involving tremendous preparatory bombardments, which entailed months of preliminary railway and road construction, G.H.Q. had been forced to give up the notion of keeping an attack secret until it was delivered. Enemy airmen could not fail to observe these works and also the new camps, supply centres, casualty clearing stations, hangars for aeroplanes. Reference has been made to the Comniander-in-Chief’s desire to impart the impression, in April, of a serious attack, and,‘in May, of a feint. But the final week’s bombardment had given sure notice of the operation, and the most that could be hoped for was that the enemy might be deceived as to the main stroke that would come after, and might continue to expect it at Arras rather than at Ypres. As far as the Messines offensive went, the Germans must know that a great attack-whether feint or principal operation-was imminent ; indeed, German prisoners spoke with certainty of it.

  • The Armed Forces of South Russia by Marja Erwin
    The Armed Forces of South Russia By Marja Erwin The Armed Forces of South Russia developed from the previously-separate Don Armies and Volunteer Army, and incorporated other pro-White forces such as the Southern Army. In 1919, they had the support of the Entente powers, which eventually supplied about 200,000 rifles, more than 6,000 machine guns, more than 1,100 artillery pieces, and even 74 tanks. By 1919, Armed Forces of South Russia included three main troop categories: 1. Officers' Units. The officers' units were the original core of the Volunteer Army. The Guard and Grenadier units joined later but were similar. These were the most reliable shock troops of the Armed Forces of South Russia. By late 1918, the Volunteer Army began to conscript officers in Volunteer-occupied areas. By late 1919, the Armed Forces of South Russia combined regular units into the officers' regiments, in order to mobilize additional officers' regiments. 2. Cossack Units. These included most of the Don Armies and much of the Volunteer Army. These included most of the White cavalry. The Don and Terek Cossacks were mostly Russian. The Kuban Cossacks were mostly Ukrainian, but included many Russians. 3. Other Units. These included revived units of the old army, non-Cossack units of the Cossack hosts, and others. The Armed Forces of South Russia did not consider peasants, workers, and others as reliable as the officers and Cossacks; the regular forces generally conscripted officers and cossacks before trying to recruit others, but the Cossack forces often conscripted non-Cossacks into their scout units.
