GERMAN BOMBING AND AIR-RAID TACTICS 2. WRITER FROM: LONDON To: MOSCOW No: 9** 26th Aug. 40 To DIRECTOR. 1. In the night bombing of LONDON on 24th August fires were caused in ENFIELD, the CITY (MOORGATE) and the Docks. Altogether up to 300 aircraft in groups of 40-80 aircraft took part in the raids on the LONDON area; 50 percent of them were fighters. A high percentage of incendiaries was dropped and heavier bombs than before are being used. Some bombs were said to be full of heavy oil and caused no harm. Until midday on 24th August the SAUSAGE-DEALERS [KOLBASNIKI][i] bombed aerodromes in KENT, then aerodromes around LONDON and towards the evening they bombed LONDON, PORTSMOUTH and RAMSGATE. The press reports that the SAUSAGE-DEALERS are using 3,000 aircraft, i.e. one sixth of their operational aircraft, against Britain. SAUSAGE-DEALERS tactics this week – mass air-raids by day and 1-4 aircraft each night which penetrate to a large town and keep the air defence on the alert all night. 2. WRITER [PISATEL’][ii] has reported that large anti-tank obstacles and concrete blockhouses are being set up in the coastal zone. All the bridges in the zone are mined. In HARWICH there are four infantry battalions, two engineer companies, three artillery batteries and five A.A. batteries. The aerodrome has been bombed. The SAUSAGE-DEALERS appeared unexpectedly on the tail of returning fighters and the air defence was slow in noticing them. In HARWICH [1 group garbled] three wooden submarines. He has heard that the SAUSAGE-DEALERS have bombed decoy ships of this kind in SCAPA FLOW. The port is protected by 30 barrage balloons.

[ii] LOUISA: Almost certainly an error by MOSCOW for MUSE [MUZA]. In No. 949 of 27th August 1940 LONDON asked for MUSE’s radio schedule for several months and for cipher instructions; this message is on an appropriate date to be MOSCOW’s reply. Furthermore, paragraph 3 of LONDON’s No. 987 of 6th September 1940 (the day after the present mess- age was repeated) acknowledges receipt by MUSE “yesterday” of a 30-group message: the present message is 30 cipher groups long.

Prelude to the War in London The Second World War started on 1 st September 1939 with the German attack on Poland. The War in London began nearly one year later. On 24 th August 1940 the German Air Force flew an attack against Thames Haven, whereby some German bombers dropped bombs on London.

On 5th September 1940 Hitler ordered his troops to attack London by day and by night. It was the beginning of the Second World War in London. Attack on Thames Haven in 1940 The Attacks First phase The first phase of the Second World War in London was from early September 1940 to mid November 1940. In this first phase of the Second World War Hitler achieved great military success. Hitler planned to destroy the Royal Air Force to achieve his goal of British invasion. His instruction of a sustainable bombing of London and other major cities like Birmingham and Manchester began towards the end of the Battle of Britain, which the British won. Hitler ordered the German Air Force to switch their attention from the Royal Air Force to urban centres of industrial and political significance.

  • Your Career Guide
    ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE Your career guide YOUR ROLE | THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET | THE PLACES YOU’LL GO WELCOME For most people, the demands of a job and family life are enough. However, some have ambitions that go beyond the everyday. You may be one of them. In which case, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for in the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who provide the Royal Navy with the additional trained people it needs at times of tension, humanitarian crisis, or conflict. As a Reservist, you’ll have to meet the same fitness and academic requirements, wear the same uniform, do much of the same training and, when needed, be deployed in the same places and situations as the regulars. Plus, you’ll be paid for the training and active service that you do. Serving with the Royal Naval Reserve is a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. For some, it’s a stepping stone to a Royal Navy career; for others, a chance to develop skills, knowledge and personal qualities that will help them in their civilian work. Many join simply because they want to be part of the Royal Navy but know they can’t commit to joining full-time. Taking on a vital military role alongside your existing family and work commitments requires a great deal of dedication, energy and enthusiasm. In return, we offer fantastic opportunities for adventure, travel, personal development and friendships that can last a lifetime.

  • Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 30, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33745 SUMMARY RL33745 Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) September 30, 2021 Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Specialist in Naval Affairs Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. BMD-capable Aegis ships operate in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran, and in in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran. MDA’s FY2022 budget submission states that “by the end of FY 2022 there will be 48 total BMDS [BMD system] capable ships requiring maintenance support.” The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA’s budget. The Navy’s budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA’s proposed FY2021 budget requested a total of $1,647.9 million (i.e., about $1.6 billion) in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania. MDA’s budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program. Issues for Congress regarding the Aegis BMD program include the following: whether to approve, reject, or modify MDA’s annual procurement and research and development funding requests for the program; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the execution of Aegis BMD program efforts; what role, if any, the Aegis BMD program should play in defending the U.S.

  • The Demarcation Line
    No.7 “Remembrance and Citizenship” series THE DEMARCATION LINE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE General Secretariat for Administration DIRECTORATE OF MEMORY, HERITAGE AND ARCHIVES Musée de la Résistance Nationale - Champigny The demarcation line in Chalon. The line was marked out in a variety of ways, from sentry boxes… In compliance with the terms of the Franco-German Armistice Convention signed in Rethondes on 22 June 1940, Metropolitan France was divided up on 25 June to create two main zones on either side of an arbitrary abstract line that cut across départements, municipalities, fields and woods. The line was to undergo various modifications over time, dictated by the occupying power’s whims and requirements. Starting from the Spanish border near the municipality of Arnéguy in the département of Basses-Pyrénées (present-day Pyrénées-Atlantiques), the demarcation line continued via Mont-de-Marsan, Libourne, Confolens and Loches, making its way to the north of the département of Indre before turning east and crossing Vierzon, Saint-Amand- Montrond, Moulins, Charolles and Dole to end at the Swiss border near the municipality of Gex. The division created a German-occupied northern zone covering just over half the territory and a free zone to the south, commonly referred to as “zone nono” (for “non- occupied”), with Vichy as its “capital”. The Germans kept the entire Atlantic coast for themselves along with the main industrial regions. In addition, by enacting a whole series of measures designed to restrict movement of people, goods and postal traffic between the two zones, they provided themselves with a means of pressure they could exert at will.

  • Western Europe 1939-1945: Invasion
    WESTERN EUROPE 1939-1945: INVASION INVASION: TASK INSTRUCTIONS The key question: How worried was Britain about invasion 1940-41? Your task In this investigation your task is to study the sources in this box. Decide how worried you think the British government was at the time for each source. You can use a colour code to indicate the extent of the threat (the US government uses this scale today). Use the table to record your views. How worried was Britain about invasion 1940-41? This drawing suggests Britain was confident that Hitler would never be able to invade. But was this just a brave front? This image is a piece of propaganda produced by the British government in the summer of 1940. The basic message is that Hitler is "all talk" and that Britain will easily drive him back if he tries to invade. A caption would have been added later. The question for us in this investigation is whether the British government really was this confident. Look at the other documents here and decide for yourself. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/ Page 1 WESTERN EUROPE 1939-1945: INVASION A drawing produced by the British Ministry of Information in the early stages of the war Catalogue ref: INF 3/1436 Source a http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/ Page 2 WESTERN EUROPE 1939-1945: INVASION Source b What is this source?

    UCLA UCLA Historical Journal Title Protestant "Righteous Indignation": The Roosevelt Vatican Appointment of 1940 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0bv0c83x Journal UCLA Historical Journal, 17(0) ISSN 0276-864X Author Settje, David Publication Date 1997 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California 124 UCLA Historical Journal Protestant "Righteous Indignation": The Roosevelt Vatican Appointment of 1940 David Settje C t . ranklin D. Roosevelt's 1940 appointment of a personal representative / * to the Vatican outraged most Protestant churches. Indeed, an / accounting of the Protestant protests regarding the Holy See appointment reveals several aspects of American religious life at that time. As the United States moved closer to becoming a religiously plurahstic society and shed its Protestant hegemony, mainline Protestant churches sought to maintain leverage by denouncing any ties to the Vatican. Efforts to avert this papal affiliation also stemmed from traditional American anti-Cathohcism. Therefore, the attempt to preserve Protestant influence with anti-Catholic rhetoric against a Vatican envoy demonstrates how mainline churches want- ed to sway governmental pohcy, even in the area of foreign affairs. Protestant churches asserted that they were defending the principle of the separation of church and state. But an inspection of their protests against the Vatican appointment illustrates that they were also concerned about how such repre- sentation would affect their place in U.S. society and proves that they still dis- trusted Catholicism. In short, although they cloaked their arguments in the guise of defending the separation of church and state, the Vatican appoint- ment became a forum in which Protestant denominations displayed their anxiety about the development of religious pluralism in America, voiced tra- ditional anti-Catholicism, and ultimately influenced diplomatic policy.

  • Kearsey, Francis
    Private Francis Kearsey (elsewhere found as Kersey and Kiersey) (Regimental Number 3265), having no known last resting-place, is commemorated on the bronze beneath the Caribou in the Newfoundland Memorial Park at Beaumont-Hamel. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a fireman* earning a monthly sixty dollars, Francis Kearsey was a volunteer of the Twelfth Recruitment Draft. *Possibly not the person who extinguishes fires but he who keeps them lit in steam engines since he is documented as having worked for A. Harvey & Co. and sailing on the SS Bonaventure to Russia (where she was eventually sold) just prior to his enlistment. He presented himself for medical examination on November 20 of 1916 at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury* in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland. It was a procedure which was to pronounce him as…Fit for Foreign Service. *The building was to serve as the Regimental Headquarters in Newfoundland for the duration of the conflict. It was to be on the day of that medical assessment, November 20, and at the same venue, that Francis Kearsey would enlist. He was thus engaged…for the duration of the war*…at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which was to be appended a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. *At the outset of the War, perhaps because it was felt by the authorities that it would be a conflict of short duration, the recruits enlisted for only a single year. As the War progressed, however, this was obviously going to cause problems and the men were encouraged to re-enlist.
