Thoa was the tactical purpose of the combined Franco-American effort to remove this menace* The strategical objective of the operation was to increase the fighting front for the purpose of oonsuming and absorbing the maximum number of German troops (5) ) Ltr AWCHS p. 2 (3) HAEF, p. 308 ReXA, p. 60 AAEC, p 293-295 ^4) HAEF, p 308 A29» PP 1 and 2 AAEC, p 293-295 (5) RelA, p. 60 Page 2.

MIHIEL drive. The Allies knew this and as a oonsequenoe they were concerned, with accomplishing surprise as to WHERE, on this front, the main effort was to be launched* Captured German documents indicated that the high command was convinced that the main Allied effort in the VERDUN SECTOR would be Made east of the MEUSE RIVER, and elaborate defensive works were established to stop a drive on this front* (9) The Allied attack west of the MEUSE RIVER on 29 September had caused the Germans to rush troops to that side of the (6) RelA, p. 60 (7) H33D, p 104 A29, PP 3 and 4 (8) RelA p. 60 TO 33DAEP, p 5 SIA, Qhap V, Part 5 (9) SIA,Chap V, Part 5 AAEC , pp 293-295 A29, pp 1 and 2.

Progress of the attack: Tuesday, October 8th. At 5 AM the attack of the XVII French Army Corps began• There was no preliminary artillery preparation (13) As indicated before the troops in line from right to left were: 26th and ?.8th French Divisions, attacking ina direction approximately north-northeast and the 29th and 33rd U*S* Divisions, attacking approximately due north.

The 33rd Division, on the west bank, consisted of the 1st and 2d Battalions, 132nd Infantry; 2d Battalion, 131st Infantry; Companies A and D 124th Maohine Ghm Battalion, in addition to organic field artillery* (15) The Frenoh divisions started the attack with the 56th Brigade, pushing forward at 5 AM* The 1st and 2d Battalions, 132d Infantry were not advanoed from the southern edge of the Bois de Forges until 9:00 All* (16) The terrain over wfcioh the attack was launched can be estimated as follows: ( 17) From VACHERAUVTLUE, on the east bank of the MEUSE, the heights extended some 22 kilometers to the north, out by a series of streams and ridges running east and west over which the attack must pass. The cajrture of these heights was essential to further advance west of the MEUSE* l German defenses consisted or a series of positions frofa BRABANTER itellung, a parallel of observation, back to KREIMHELDE St el lung, on the cross ridge. This was the last German line. The main battle position extended across the VOLKER and HAGEN Stellungs through MALBROUCH HILL. North of BRABANTER the heights were covered by woods making defense easy and attack hazardous* The MEUSE RIVER was unrordable and the oanal which paralleled it was dry from SAM01WEUX to the north.

(18) The XVII French Uorpu line ran through SAMQGNBUX due east (19J* On the west bank tne line from R8GNBVIIUB to VILNOSNUS was held by the 33rd Division while on the east the 59th Brigade took posit ion r (tP)« The 53th brigade troops had made a night march or kilometers and were placed in assault positions north or 8AK0GNEUX. (21) The direction or attack or the 50th brigade was due north and, since the MfiUSK KIVttR runs northwestf a gap was opened oome tiae arter the attack was launched, on the east side of the river• ( 22) This gap was filled by two battalions of the 132d Infantry, whioh crossed the river on bridges at BRABANT, built by the engineers under heavy fire. Due to the fact that the attack came aa a surprise the early advance of the 58th Brigade, 29th Division, was rapid and no serious blocking of the effort was felt until the line reached the CONSENVOYE woods. Fifteen hundred prisoners and some machine guns and artillery were oaptured during this advance ( 23). The 18th French Division experienced difficulty as early as 10:15 AM in the FOIS de HAUMONT and had lost contact with the 58th Brigade on its left* The 58th Brigade reached MALBROUCK and the southern edge of Bois de BRABANT* "~ 8)) Mapp .

  • The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference
    The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Katharyne Mitchell, Chair Victoria Lawson Michael Brown Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Geography ©Copyright 2017 Christopher A. Lizotte University of Washington Abstract The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Katharyne Mitchell Geography I examine a package of educational reforms enacted following the January 2015 attacks in and around Paris, most notably directed at the offices of the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo. These interventions, known collectively as the “Great Mobilization for the Republic’s Values”, represent the latest in a string of educational attempts meant to reinvigorate a sense of national pride among immigrant-descended youth – especially Muslim – in France’s unique form of state secularism, laïcité. While ostensibly meant to apply equally across the nationalized French school system, in practice La Grande Mobilisation has been largely enacted in schools located in urban spaces of racialized difference thought to be “at risk” of anti-republican behavior. Through my work, I show that practitioners exercise their own power by subverting and adapting geopolitical discourses running through educational laïcité – notably global security, women’s rights, and communalism – are nuanced by school-based practitioners, who interpret state directives in the light of their institutional knowledge and responsiveness to the social and economic profiles of their student populations.

  • This Index Lists the Army Units for Which Records Are Available at the Eisenhower Library
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. ARMY: Unit Records, 1917-1950 Linear feet: 687 Approximate number of pages: 1,300,000 The U.S. Army Unit Records collection (formerly: U.S. Army, U.S. Forces, European Theater: Selected After Action Reports, 1941-45) primarily spans the period from 1917 to 1950, with the bulk of the material covering the World War II years (1942-45). The collection is comprised of organizational and operational records and miscellaneous historical material from the files of army units that served in World War II. The collection was originally in the custody of the World War II Records Division (now the Modern Military Records Branch), National Archives and Records Service. The material was withdrawn from their holdings in 1960 and sent to the Kansas City Federal Records Center for shipment to the Eisenhower Library. The records were received by the Library from the Kansas City Records Center on June 1, 1962. Most of the collection contained formerly classified material that was bulk-declassified on June 29, 1973, under declassification project number 735035. General restrictions on the use of records in the National Archives still apply. The collection consists primarily of material from infantry, airborne, cavalry, armor, artillery, engineer, and tank destroyer units; roughly half of the collection consists of material from infantry units, division through company levels. Although the collection contains material from over 2,000 units, with each unit forming a separate series, every army unit that served in World War II is not represented. Approximately seventy-five percent of the documents are from units in the European Theater of Operations, about twenty percent from the Pacific theater, and about five percent from units that served in the western hemisphere during World War II.

DOI: 20 France and the German Rearmament Problem 1945-1955 GEORGES-HENRI SouTou The Fourth Republic was shaken by many crises, but none aroused as much passion as the debate on the European Defence Community. When in 1950, five years after the end of the war and occupation, the suggestion of German rearmament was put to the French, the whole nation was profoundly shocked. However, thanks to recent research, particularly by Pierre Guillen and Raymond Poidevin, we know that many people realized very early on that the Soviet threat made rearma- ment inevitable. Many of those who accepted this painful necessity nevertheless disputed the terms of rearmament.
