  • Les « Vampir
    1944-45 Allemagne NACHTJÄGER Les « Vampir » du Reich ! La Panzerwaffe et ses dispositifs de combat nocturne Par Yann Mahé L’auteur tient à adresser ses plus sincères remerciements à Petr Pechar, sans qui cet article n’aurait pu voir le jour. Note : le lecteur voudra bien nous pardonner quelques lacunes iconographiques mineures tant il est, encore aujourd’hui, extrêmement difficile de se procurer des clichés corrects sur ce type de dispositifs et, surtout, sur les unités allemandes les ayant utilisés ! Nous vous réservons néanmoins quelques « scoops visuels », à l’instar de ces rarissimes clichés de tenues Leibermuster présentés dans nos colonnes ! 1 Nachtjäger, les « Vampir » du Reich ! La Seconde Guerre mondiale, conflit qui a vu les différentes nations belligérantes accomplir des progrès remarquables dans le domaine de la technologie militaire, reste surtout associée à la bombe atomique, aux avions à réaction, aux fusées balistiques ou aux radars. Ces innovations concernent principalement la troisième dimension. Mais l’on oublie bien souvent que des avancées tout aussi spectaculaires ont vu le jour au sein de diverses armées de terre. C’est ainsi que plusieurs puissances se sont intéressées à la technologie infrarouge, seul le III. Reich ayant sérieusement étudié la possibilité de munir ses chars de moyens de détection autorisant le combat de nuit. Dans ce domaine, au fil des mois, les ingénieurs et penseurs militaires allemands vont mettre au point un système d’armes complet et ultramoderne. Et, de fait, les Panzer parviendront à remporter des succès locaux prometteurs contre les Alliés durant les derniers mois de la guerre. Comme bien souvent, l’aversion des hauts responsables de la Wehrmacht pour les nouvelles technologies et les incessants raids aériens anglo-américains sur les usines allemandes n’ont permis que l’introduction tardive et à une échelle négligeable de ces équipements précurseurs de ceux des armées d’aujourd’hui.

  • PANZER BRIGADES on the EASTERN FRONT by Phil Yates
    By Phil Yates UPDATED ON 11 SEPTEMBER 2014 1 PANZER BRIGADES ON THE EASTERN FRONT Y HIL ATES B P Y After the destruction of Army Group Centre in Byelorussia by the Soviet Operation Bagration, there was little left to stop them short of the German border, 600 kilometres to the west. Hitler ordered twelve new panzer brigades created to ‘surprise and destroy the attacking armoured spearheads’. The first four of these entered combat on the Eastern Front in late August 1944, launching immediate counterattacks against the Red Army’s deepest thrusts. When the Red Army launched its counteroffensive after the The first four were to be ready in just over one month. Bearing Battle of Kursk in August 1943, the German Army had little in mind that a panzer division was usually given six months to stop it. The much vaunted panzer divisions had worn to rebuild after being mauled at the front, the timetable for themselves out attacking the Soviet defences around Kursk, creating whole new units was incredibly short.

  • Orders at Sedan 1940 by Brendan B
    Orders Orders at Sedan 1940 by Brendan B. McBreen On 10 May 1940, the German Army invaded France. The lead German divisions punctured the French frontier defenses at Sedan and then raced to the English Channel. In ten days, the Germans surrounded the French and British armies in Belgium. British units evacuated the continent at Dunkirk and the French Army surrendered on 22 June. In combat, German orders were short, and often verbal, because map exercises and unit rehearsals had embedded in all ranks a shared understanding of the mission. Rapid orders made German units more flexible and responsive than their French opponents. One-hundred-thirty-five German divisions invaded France. In the center, Army Group A was the main effort with 45 divisions, including seven of the new Panzer Divisions. The Panzer Division was not a pure tank division, but a balanced combined-arms formation of four tank battalions and four infantry battalions, supported by artillery, anti-tank, engineer, and reconnaissance battalions, with every unit motorized for rapid movement across all terrain. The Germans had only ten Panzer Divisions in 1940. The remainder of the Army, except for eight other motorized divisions, used horse-drawn transport. Over one hundred divisions walked into France. The German Army was weaker than its opponents. The French and British had 151 divisions to the German’s 135. The French had 4000 tanks to the German’s 2500, plus more, and better quality, artillery and aircraft. The advantage the German Army did have was tactics—a flexible combined-arms doctrine executed by well-trained commanders.

  • 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.

  • Scientific Contributions of the First Female Chemists at the University of Vienna Mirrored in Publications in Chemical Monthly 1
    Monatshefte für Chemie - Chemical Monthly (2019) 150:961–974 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00706-019-02408-4 ORIGINAL PAPER Scientifc contributions of the frst female chemists at the University of Vienna mirrored in publications in Chemical Monthly 1902–1919 Rudolf Werner Soukup1 · Robert Rosner1 Received: 29 November 2018 / Accepted: 1 March 2019 / Published online: 29 April 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract In 1897, the frst female students were admitted at the Faculty of Philosophy at Vienna University. The frst dissertation in chemistry was approved in 1902. In the following years, only one or two women were annually enrolled, while the number of male students of chemistry continuously fuctuated around 22. Whereas four women completed their doctorate in the frst year of WWI, six followed in 1917, and ten more in 1919. Strikingly, in that year the number of female students even exceeded that of male colleagues. Margarethe Furcht, the daughter of a Jewish stockbroker, was the frst female chemist with a doctoral degree certifcate in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Her paper “Über die Veresterung von Sulfosäuren…”, which she published in 1902 together with her academic supervisor Rudolf Wegscheider, was one of the frst scientifc chemical publications of women in Austria. However, of all female graduates, only a small number worked as chemists within the next two decades. After the occupation of Austria by German Troops in March 1938, seven of the Jewish women managed to emigrate, four were murdered in the Holocaust. Given the importance of this period within the landscape of European scientifc history, we here aim to provide the frst comprehensive overview of the history of women studying chemistry at the University of Vienna.
