NEXT 2ADA CONVENTION: Official Publication of the: CHICAGO! Right back where we started from. SEE BACK PAGE. Volume 47 Number 4 Winter 2008 An Ode to the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library By E. BUD KOORNDYK (389th & 93rd) • Photos from www.tournorfolk.co.uk and www.military-airshows.co.uk hat does it mean that we as a proud generation of men and The songwriter Woody Guthrie beautifully expressed this feeling, W women, who through God’s providence, have been enabled and I quote: to pass on to the generations that follow a living memorial such “Nobody living can ever stop me, as the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library in Norwich, England? As I go walking the freedom highway. It will be a living memorial as long as men and women from gen- Nobody living can make me turn back, erations that follow will step forward and give of their time and This land was made for you and me.” talents to help preserve the freedoms that we enjoy today, and as a continual reminder of the over 7,000 men and women who gave their lives in its defense in our generation. Pericles in 431 BC also said: “Take these men as your example, like them, remember that posterity can only be for the free, that freedom is a sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.” It is a memorial which so aptly expresses our love for freedom. These freedoms have become the cornerstone and bedrock of our Memorial Library and with it the legacy which we will pass down to the generations that follow. Freedom does not mean that we are able to do whatever we want to do. Freedom means that we have been set free to be come all that God wants us to be and achieve all that God wants us to achieve and enjoy all that God wants us to enjoy, in whatever avenue of life we are asked to serve. May those who follow us and are called to serve from our two nations on behalf of the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library use these freedoms as a compass and north star to guide them through the uncharted waters that we see existing in the world today. May their heads and minds be lifted out of the confusion of earth long enough to hear the solutions of a higher being.

    Der Zweite Weltkrieg / Band 08 Luftkrieg Europa-bezogen Vorwort und Themen dieses Buches Vorwort zum Luftkrieg Europa bezogen Der Verlauf des Luftkrieges in fünf Phasen Zusatzthemen zum Luftkrieg Navigation und Abwurf der Bomben Flugabwehrkanonen und Jäger in Deutschland Luftwaffen der am Krieg in Europa beteiligten Länder Vorwort und Themen dieses Buches Der Zweite Weltkrieg von 1939 bis 1945 war der zweite global geführte Krieg sämtlicher Grossmächte des 20. Jahrhunderts und stellt den grössten militärischen Konflikt in der Geschichte der Menschheit dar. Er begann in Europa mit dem deutschen Überfall auf Polen am 1. September 1939. In Ostasien befand sich das mit Deutschland verbündete Japan seit 1938 in einem Grenzkrieg mit der Sowjetunion und seit 1937 im Pazifikkrieg mit China. Im Kriegsverlauf bildeten sich zwei militärische Allianzen, die als Achsenmächte und Alliierte bezeichnet werden. Direkt oder indirekt waren über 60 Staaten an diesem Krieg beteiligt, mehr als 110 Millionen Menschen standen unter Waffen. Der Krieg kostete über 60 Millionen Menschen das Leben und erfasste den ganzen Erdball. Der Zweite Weltkrieg bestand in Europa aus Blitzkriegen, Eroberungsfeldzügen gegen die deutschen Nachbarländer mit Eingliederung besetzter Gebiete, der Einsetzung von Marionettenregierungen, Flächenbombardements sowie im letzten Jahr dem Einsatz von Atomwaffen in Japan; er verlief in drei Hauptphasen. Mittelbar starben Millionen Menschen durch Holocaust (Shoa), Porajmos und weitere Massenmorde, durch Zwangsarbeit und zahllose Kriegsverbrechen. Das vorliegende Buch ist ein Zusammenzug von vorhandenen Daten und Dokumente und der Versuch diese in einen chronologischen Ablauf zu bringen. Die Quellen sind jeweils zu Beginn eines Themas aufgeführt. Keiner dachte nach dem 1. Weltkrieg, dass ein solches furchtbares Ereignis noch übertroffen werden könnte.

The University of Nebraska was among the first to welcome them. It eventually enrolled more Nisei students than all but two other institutions. The author asserts that this controversial acceptance resulted from humanitarian decisions made by a few individuals in Lincoln.
