Il doit son existence à la nécessité d’une organisation logique du commandement allemand en Méditerranée (avec le GA E en Grèce et Balkans et le GA G en France du Sud), sans parler du fait qu’il faut ménager l’ego de Kesselring. Celui-ci assure en pratique le commandement de la 14e Armée, qu’il a confié nominalement à son ancien chef d’état-major. 14.

    OPERACIJA BURA (27. SIJEČNJA – 4. VELJAČE 1945.), PRODOR NJEMAČKE VOJSKE I ORUŽANIH SNAGA NDH U JUŽNU HERCEGOVINU Hrvoje Mandić * UDK: 94(497.6)“1945“ 355.432(497.6)“1945“ Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 24. II. 2015. Prihvaćeno: 31. VIII. 2015. SAŽETAK Krajem siječnja 1945. Nijemci su u južnoj Hercegovini pokrenuli operaciju Bura. Ta je ope- racija poremetila planove Vrhovnog štaba NOVJ za zauzimanje Širokog Brijega, Mostara i Nevesinja krajem siječnja 1945. Prodorom združenih njemačkih i oružanih snaga NDH u južnu Hercegovinu nastojalo se osigurati nesmetano povlačenje njemačke skupine armija E preko Mostara, Ivan sedla, Sarajeva i dalje prema Brodu na Savi. U radu su korišteni objavljeni i neobjavljeni izvori. Ključne riječi: operacija Bura, njemačka skupina armija E, Široki Brijeg, Mostar, Nevesinje, Čapljina, 369. pješačka divizija, Oružane snage NDH, 29. hercegovačka divizija. UVOD Do kraja prosinca 1944. narodnooslobodilačka vojska Jugoslavije (NOVJ) nadzirala je Srbiju, Makedoniju, Crnu Goru i dio Nezavisne Države Hrvatske (NDH). Njemačko Vrhovno zapovjedništvo (Oberkommando des Heeres) je sredinom 1944. uvidjelo da njihovim položajima u jugoistočnoj Europi, zbog općih promjena na europskom bojištu, s istoka prijeti opasnost od Crvene armije i NOVJ. Snage Crvene armije i NOVJ grupirale su se između Dunava i Beograda s namjerom osvajanja Zagreba i Budimpešte. Njemačka vojska u NDH našla se pred ozbiljnom prijetnjom potpunog vojnog sloma od strane Crvene armije. Otežavajuću okolnost za zapovjedništvo Jugoistoka predstavljalo je to što se njemačka skupina armija E, jakosti oko 350 tisuća vojnika, koja se sredinom 1944. * Hrvoje Mandić ([email protected]) je magistar povijesti uposlen u Hrvatskom dokumentacijskom centru Domovinskog rata u BiH sa sjedištem u Mostaru.

    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History April 2005 Volume 4 Number 1 James H. Critchfield, Partners at the Creation: The Men Behind Postwar Germany’s Defense and Intelligence Establishments. Annapolis, Md.: Naval Institute Press, 2003. X, 243pp. ISBN 1-59114-136-2. Illustrations, appendix, bibliography, index. Reviewed by Jeffrey G. Barlow U.S. Naval Historical Center, Washington D.C. USA _______________________________________________________________ In recent months, the book under review has received two highly negative reviews by other historians. In the July 2004 issue of The Journal of Military History, David Kahn, one of the deans of American intelligence history, wrote that the book was an insignificant memoir that adds nothing of any value to “the history of the establishment of post-World War II intelligence” (p. 1011). Similarly, in the July/August 2004 issue of Foreign Affairs, historian Timothy Naftali of the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, took James Critchfield to task for arguing in his book that the CIA’s support of Reinhard Gehlen’s intelligence organization in occupied Germany in the early Cold War years was on balance a benefit both to the United States and to the West German state that emerged in May 1949. In fact, Naftali asserted, the CIA’s arrangement with the Gehlen organization was a Faustian bargain that “plunged the United States into moral and political corruption” (p. 131) and moreover proved of little value, since Gehlen’s operation “was thoroughly penetrated by the Soviets, and its ability to collect useful intelligence for NATO questionable” (p.

    Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 by Brett Edward Lintott A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © Copyright by Brett Edward Lintott, 2015 Abstract Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 Brett Edward Lintott Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto, 2015 This dissertation provides an analysis of the Mediterranean double-cross system of the Second World War, which was composed of a number of double agents who were turned by the Allies and operated against their ostensible German spymasters. Utilizing many freshly released archival materials, this study assesses how the double-cross system was constructed, why it was an effective instrument, and how it contributed to Allied success in two areas: security and counter-intelligence, and military deception. The focus is thus on both organization and operations. The chapters cover three chronological periods. In the first — 1941-42 — the initial operational usage of a double agent is assessed, along with the development of early organizational structures to manage and operate individual cases as components of a team of spies. The second section, covering 1943, assesses three issues: major organizational innovations made early that year; the subsequent use of the double agent system to deceive the Germans regarding the planned invasion of Sicily in July; and the ongoing effort to utilize double agents to ensure a stable security and counter-intelligence environment in the Mediterranean theatre. The third and final section analyzes events in 1944, with a focus on double-cross deception in Italy and France, and on the emergence of more systematic security and counter-intelligence double-cross operations in Italy and the Middle East.
