  • September 1St, 1918 [Day 72] Stix Ahead
    September 1st, 1918 [Day 72] Stix Ahead The Hindenburg System of Lines What is often called the Hindenburg defensive system by the Allies is a series of German defensive lines (‘stellung’ ) that are joined so as to create a wall behind the main trench system used throughout the war. These stellung serve as a place of withdrawal if things go bad. The main lines that compose the whole system are: most ominous, the oldest and most elaborate, between Cambrai and St. Quentin, the famous Siegfried stellung, which is up to ten miles deep. To the north, the Wotan is called by the allies the Drocourt-Quéant Switch, which is to the front of the Canadians. Toward the south, the Alberich (St.Quentin to the west of Laon), the Brunhild in Champagne, and the Kriemhilde, behind the Argonne, as far as Metz. Each of these lines tend to be behind rivers or canals to improve their strength. Their names come from Wagner’s dark symphonies Der Ring des Nibelungen. This is why, with September, begins, for the advancing armies, what will be called the Battle of the Canals, before reaching the infernal Stellungs. — The River Stix, before the Hades, was not more ominous to Ancient Greeks. ----------------------- !Terraine, To Win a War, p. 141. September 2nd, 1918 [Day 71] Hit in the wrong place Achiles’ Heel : the Drocourt-Quéant Switch On the morning of 2 September 1918, First British Army accomplishes a feat that stands out as one of the most successful of the war. Its Canadian Corps leading, it succeeds in breaching the Drocourt-Quéant Switch, this section of the defensive line that extends to the north of the Hindenburg Line, where railroad switches stand at the nexus of a supply system.

    MILJAN MILKIĆ THE SERBIAN ARMY IN 1914: TRADITION, RELIGION AND MORAL State, Nation and Religion There is an assessment dominating in Serbian historiography which says that the period from 1903 to 1914 represents “the golden age” of Serbian democracy.1 We can con- clude that the army in such conditions could materially and morally become stronger and turn into one of the most respected institutions in the Kingdom of Serbia. Such an army was able to gain great victories during the Balkan Wars and in 1914. The Serbian Army was an important part of a complex internal political life, too.2 In order to understand national identity, tradition and moral in the Serbian Army during the First World War and especially in 1914, we need to introduce the following facts. In the summer of 1914 the Serbian state’s territory consisted of two clearly separate entities: the territory before the Balkan Wars (around 54 000 square kilometres with more than 3 million inhabitants) and the territory which was acquired in the Balkan Wars (around 33,000 square kilometres and 1.5 million inhabitants).3 For our analysis it is important to know that those two enti- ties had not merged either economically or culturally and they differed totally in national composition. The Serbian state territory before the Balkan Wars was homogeneous with Serbian as the dominant nation and with the majority of christian Orthodoxy. The newly- acquired territories were also populated by Macedonians, Albanians and Turks, many of whom were Muslims. When Serbia was attacked by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a state inhabited by a large number of persons whose ethnic origin was identical with or simi- lar to that of the Serbs, and this atmosphere provided the psychological basis for resist- ance.

Marković Editor-in-Chief Dragana Marković Editor Slavica Djerić-Magazinović 2 R E P U B L I C O F S E R B I A MINISTRY OF DEFENCE DEFENCE POLICY SECTOR Strategic Planning Department WHITE PAPER ON DEFENCE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA Belgrade, 2010. 3 Defence is one of the most important functions of each state, because all other spheres of human activity aimed at cre- ating basic preconditions for the overall development and prosperity overlap there. The Republic of Serbia, being an independent state since 2006, builds up its defence system tailored to meet its needs in the conditions characterizing the totality of relationships at the global, regional and local level. Year 2010 is a milestone in the reform of defence system, which is demonstrated through adoption of strate- gic-doctrinal and legal-normative documents, in the long and medium term planning and programming of the defence system development, professionalization of the Serbian Armed Forces, the reform of the military education and military health care system, systematization and rationalization of the Ministry of Defence, re- vitalization of the defence industry and encouragement of partic- ipation of the Armed Forces and other defence forces members in building and maintaining peace in the world and the region. White Paper on Defence is developed for the first time in the Re- public of Serbia as an independent state. This is a document which transparently presents to the wide domestic and international pub- lic the processes, achievements and projections regarding the de- velopment of the defence system of the Republic of Serbia.

  • The Change of Rule and Reprisals Against the Hungarians in Yugoslavia 1944^1946
    The change of rule and reprisals against the Hungarians in Yugoslavia 1944^1946 ENIKŐ A. SAJTI The Lakatos government in Hungary was considering the idea of forming a Serb defence force to help Hungary to retain Bafka (Bácska) and sent an emissary to the headquarters of Mihailovic to discuss the matter.1 Meanwhile, however, the Yugoslav partisans entered the Banate (Bánát) at the beginning of October, along with the Soviet army. Units of the Eighth Vojvodina Brigade transferred there from Srim (Szerémség) entered Bela Crkva (Fehértemplom) on 1 October and reached Vrsac (Versec) on the following day. On 16 October, the partisan high command moved there, including Tito. He had just reached an agreement with Stalin in Moscow, covering joint military operations of the Yugoslav and Soviet armies on Yugoslav soil. Under that agreement, Tito had received a requested tank division, an undertaking from the Soviets to quit the territory of Yugoslavia after the military operations, and permission for Yugoslav authorities to exercise 1 Lajos Bolla, the Hungarian consul general in Belgrade, wrote in his report on 3 October 1944, "An emissary of ours (a military man) tried recently to reach Mihailovic's head- quarters. This happened just at the time when Tito's bands had made a successful strike on Mihailovic's headquarters in the Ravna Gora mountains. Our emissary told me that as a result of the attack, he failed to reach his desired destination and had to make a 35-km night-time journey through the pathless mountains, partly on foot. Fur- thermore, he found himself in an extremely dangerous situation in a village near Gornji Milanovac, when Mihailovic's men began to act in a threatening way towards him, so that only after strong representations by him and the Mihailovic officer accom- panying him could he continue his journey.
