Constanta Branch Abstract: Although linked to the Austro-Hungarian Empire by a secret alliance treaty in 1883, Romania chose to declare itself neutral at the outbreak of hostilities in July 1914, relying on the interpretation of the "casus foederis" clauses. The army was in 1914 -1915 completely unprepared for such a war, public opinion, although pro-Entente in most of it, was not ready for this kind of war, and Ion I. C. Bratianu was convinced that he had to obtain a written assurance from the Russian Empire in view of his father's unpleasant experience from 1877-1878. This article analyze the political and military decisions after Romania entry in Great War. Although linked to the Austro-Hungarian Empire by a secret alliance treaty in 1883, Romania chose to declare itself neutral at the outbreak of hostilities in July 1914, relying on the interpretation of the "casus foederis" clauses. In the south, Romania has three major strategic interests in this region: - defense of the long Danubian border and the land border between the Danube and the Black Sea; - the keep open of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, through which 90% of the Romanian trade were made; - avoiding the isolation or political encirclement of Romania by keeping open the Thessaloniki-Nis- Danube communication, preventing its blocking as a result of local conflicts or taking over under strict control by one of the great powers in the region[1].

  • The German Army After the Battle of Kursk by Walter S
    The German Army after the Battle of Kursk By Walter S. Zapotoczny The Wehrmacht’s strength and combat effectiveness in the east after the Battle of Kursk entered a period of steady decline. Sporadic arrivals of new conscripts and equipment, especially for the mechanized units and the Waffen SS, gave the German defenders the means to conduct local counterattacks. These attacks were steadily less effective, both due to the growing superiority of the Soviet troops and the steady decay in the level of German training and effectiveness. The German infantry formations were even more emaciated than their mechanized counterparts were. This period marked the full development of Soviet force structure, equipment, and operational and tactical concepts. August 23, 1944 proved to be one of the decisive days of the entire war. With the Russian tanks on the Prut River and more racing south for the Focsani gap in Romania, the fate of the entire German Army Group South was uncertain. This was proof of the massive and effective Russian battlefield performance in Moldavia and Bessarabia. This alone, however, did not make this day so historic. What changed the fortune of Germany’s entire southeastern theater was the coup carried out that day in Bucharest, when King Michael had the Antonescu brothers arrested and Romania ceased to fight alongside Germany. Rumanian troops were instructed to cease firing on the Red Army and King Michael surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. The Rumanian defection turned Germany’s military defeat into a catastrophe, which made it felt far beyond the limits of a single Army Group.

  • The Russian Army and the Conduct of Operations in 1914
    British Journal for Military History, Volume 2, Issue 2, February 2016 The Russian Army and the Conduct of Operations in 1914 STEPHEN WALSH Royal Military Academy Sandhurst Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The scale of the fighting on the Eastern Front in 1914 is reasonably familiar but the Russian campaign of 1914, apart from Tannenberg, is poorly understood. The Russian Army’s military strategy, the choices it made, what it was trying to achieve, why and how, are not well known. This article will analyse Russian strategy and operations in a thematic rather than narrative manner, placing the Russian conduct of operations in the context of Russian military thinking at the time. It will argue that the relative importance of the East Prussian and Galician Operations has been misunderstood, especially the Russian operations in northern Galicia. In late August 1914, the Russian Army faced strategic catastrophe on the entire Eastern Front, not because of events in East Prussia, but in northern Galicia where the chronic lack of correlation between ends and means in Russian military strategy became acute. The Russian high command’s desire to launch a third operation into eastern Germany, in August 1914, distorted Russian strategy to the point where the Russian Army flirted with catastrophe in northern Galicia, a brush with disaster that rescued Russian strategy from its own illusions, enabling them to defeat the Austrians and force the German Army into a sustained two- front war. ‘The history of the campaign of 1914 is nothing else but the story of the consequences of the strategical errors of the War Plan’1 On 31 July 1914, Tsar Nicholas II authorised the mobilisation of the Russian Army, a defining moment2 in the sequence of events that began the First World War, a war 1 N.N.

  • 29-An Army in an Army
    1 1945 July 16-22 An Army in the Army (La Crosse Tribune, 1945 July 22, page 12) 2 In June and July 1945, there were many newspaper articles about La Crosse County men and women being brought back to the United States for reassignment or being discharged to civilian life. There are undoubtedly more to come the rest of the year. The article above, concerning Private First Class Louis Gueltzow of La Crosse, is typical. Gueltzow was a member of the 345th Infantry Regiment of the 87th Infantry Division. At various times, the 345th Infantry Regiment, as part of the 87th Infantry Division, was part of the 7th, 9th, 1st, and 3rd Armies in the European Theater. The concept of Armies in the Army may be confusing, so what does all of this mean? The key to understanding the nomenclature, and also appreciating the scope of World War II, is decoding the hierarchical structure of the United States armed forces, in this case the United States Army. Since United States Army infantry divisions were the most numerous units in World War II, this analysis will use them as an example. Squad = 8-12 men: commanded by a Corporal or a Sergeant Platoon = 3-4 squads: commanded by a 2nd Lieutenant (48-50 men) Company = 3-4 platoons: commanded by a 1st Lieutenant or Captain (150-200 men) Battalion = 3-4 companies: commanded by a Major (800 men) Regiment = 3 battalions: commanded by a Lt. Colonel (2,400 men) Division = 3 regiments: commanded by a Lt. [3-star] or Major [2-star] General (10,000 - 15,000 men) Corps = 2 or more divisions: commanded by a Lt.

  • Rigg Bm.Pdf (651.5Kb)
    notes note on sources Although oral testimonies are subject to fallible human memories, they have none- theless proven invaluable in explaining several documents collected for this study. Documents never before seen by historians, found in people’s closets, basements, and desk drawers, created a much fuller and complex history, especially when their owners supplied the background and history of the documents as well. These sources helped re-create the unique and tragic history of the Mischlinge, which is still so little understood over half a century later. The thousands of pages of documents and oral testimonies (on 8 mm video and VHS video) in this study are now part of the permanent collection at the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv in Freiburg, Germany, as the Bryan Mark Rigg Collection. Although interviews need to be treated with some skepticism, they have repeatedly shown that oral history often enriches rather than contradicts historical documents. All too often, history is written without the human element, that is, without knowing what these people thought, felt, and believed. Oral history helps reconstruct many of these people’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs through their diaries, letters, interviews, and photographs. In this way, a healthy combination of hard documents or primary sources and secondary sources and testimonies expands our sense of this history. Often one reads about men and women but feels no human connection with them. The interviews were done to try to bridge this gap and to pro- vide readers with the means to enter these men’s and women’s thoughts and feelings to understand them better and to deepen readers’ knowledge of this history.

During my visits in Russia to research in the former Soviet archives it was not possible to see the origi- nal plans for operations. It was pointed out to me that the "ground level vegetation" is still the same in the border areas of Russia and Finland. This, of course, was a friendly way of saying to me that the legislation still forbids of giving those materials for researchers.

  • Romanian Aviation in the First World War
    Mihail ORZEAÞÃ • Valeriu AVRAM ROMANIAN MILITARY THINKING ROMANIAN AVIATION IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR Professor Mihail ORZEAȚĂ, PhD „Apollonia” University, Iaşi Professor Valeriu AVRAM, PhD Romanians are among the pioneers of heavier-than-air flight, being also among the first in the world to use aircraft for military purposes. However, the efforts and creativity of Romanian aviation pioneers were not properly appreciated by the political and military leaders of their time. At the outbreak of the war the Romanian Crown Council decided to keep the country neutral. Romania signed a treaty with the Entente because the Alliance pledged support to the unification of all Romanians into a single state. Counting on the Entente’s promises to launch offensive operations in Thessaloniki and in Bucovina, the Great General Headquarters of the Romanian Armed Forces developed a risky concept of operations in order to enter the war by launching offensive in two divergent directions. This risky strategy implemented alongside the unfavourable evolution of the strategic situation of the Entente on both Eastern and Western fronts resulted in defeat for the Romanian Armed Forces in 1916. The additional effect of the defeats was the occupation of two thirds of the Romanian territory by German troops. Having a new organisational structure and better equipment and training, the Romanian aviation contributed to the successes in the battles of Mărăști, Mărăşeşti and Oituz in July and August 1917. Russia’s decision to exit the war contributed to the decision of the Romanian Council of Ministers to sign the Peace Treaty with the Central Powers in May 1918.

LAW REPORTS OF TRIALS OF WAR CRIMINALS SELECTED AND PREPARED BY THE UNITED NATIONS WAR CRIMES COMMISSION I One of the aims of this series of Reports is to relate in summary form the course of the most important of the proceedings taken I' against persons accused of committing war crimes during the Second [I World War, apart from the major war criminals tried by the ,I Nuremberg and Tokyo International Military Tribunals, but ;1 'I including those tried by United States Military Tribunals at I Nuremberg. Of necessity, the trials reported in these volumes are examples only, since the trials conducted before the various Allied Courts of which the Commission has had record, number about 1,600. The trials selected for reporting, however, are ~hose which are thought to be of the greatest interest legally and in which important points of municipal and international law arose and were settled. Each report, however, contains not only the outline of the proceedings in the trial under review, but also, in a separate section headed" Notes on the Case ", such comments of an explanatory nature on the legal matters arising in that trial as it has been thought useful to include. These notes provide also, at suitable points, general summaries and analyses of the decisions of the courts on specific points of law derived primarily from a study of relevant trials already reported upon in the series.
