Brisson 2014 2 Abstract Over the course of the Great Patriotic War, fought from 22 June, 1941 to 9 May, 1945, there was a dramatic transformation in the way the Red Army conducted battle. From an army on the cusp of annihilation to one that quickly recovered to vanquish the invading forces of Nazi Germany, this resurgence can be traced in part to its mastery of operational art.

  • Blunder How the US Gave Away Nazi Supersecrets to Russia.Pdf
    In May 1945, as the Iron Curtain was about to be rung down across Europe, there occurred one of the worst blunders of World War II, a blunder still little understood. It involved the passing of certain extraordinary secret informa- tion from the Americans to the Russians. The incident had begun when Hitler, anticipating a "Greater-Greater Reich," recruited Nazi Germany's top scientists for the development of a technocracy far in advance of anything that the rest of the world had conceived. To oversee this crucial project, he promoted as his most trusted aide SS General Hans Kammler. Then, with the unexpected swift advance of the U.S. Army, certain of these Nazi supersecrets were suddenly in the possession of the Americans. With equal swiftness, this wealth of technological information was passed by the Americans, unaware of its significance, to the Red Army. These secrets provided the Soviets an invaluable boost to their still-trailing military research. The extent of the advantage that this knowledge gave to the Reds has not been completely evaluated. Meanwhile, Washington has resolutely suppressed all attempts to probe the story for its embarrassing truth. The mysteries clouding this blunder were compounded by the simultaneous disappearance, on the eve of Hitler's suicide, of the powerful General Kammler, whose fate remains a source of speculation. In this revealing book, a distinguished correspondent, who is familiar with the scene and the participants, explores the stories behind one of World War II's most closely guarded secrets. Tom Agoston, a veteran British correspondent, is a specialist on Germany and spent more than a decade as Chief of Bureau and diplomatic correspondent in Bonn for the International News Service (INS) for America.

  • M1035 Publication Title: Guide to Foreign Military Studies
    Publication Number: M1035 Publication Title: Guide to Foreign Military Studies, 1945-54 Date Published: 1954 GUIDE TO FOREIGN MILITARY STUDIES, 1945-54 Preface This catalog and index is a guide to the manuscripts produced under the Foreign Military Studies Program of the Historical Division, United States Army, Europe, and of predecessor commands since 1945. Most of these manuscripts were prepared by former high-ranking officers of the German Armed Forces, writing under the sponsorship of their former adversaries. The program therefore represents an unusual degree of collaboration between officers of nations recently at war. The Foreign Military Studies Program actually began shortly after V-E Day, when Allied interrogators first questioned certain prominent German prisoners of war. Results were so encouraging that the program was expanded; written questions replaced oral interrogation, and later certain highly-placed German officers were asked to prepare a series of monographs. Originally the mission of the program was only to obtain information on enemy operations in the European Theater for use in the preparation of an official history of the U.S. Army in World War II. In 1946 the program was broadened to include the Mediterranean and Russian war theaters. Beginning in 1947 emphasis was placed on the preparation of operational studies for use by U.S. Army planning and training agencies and service schools. The result has been the collection of a large amount of useful information about the German Armed Forces, prepared by German military experts. While the primary aim of the program has remained unchanged, many of the more recent studies have analyzed the German experience with a view toward deriving useful lessons.

  • Fighting the Breakout: the German Army in Normandy from "Cobra" to the Falaise Gap'
    H-German Kienle on von Gersdorff and Hausser, 'Fighting the Breakout: The German Army in Normandy from "Cobra" to the Falaise Gap' Review published on Friday, July 1, 2005 Rudolf-Christoph von Gersdorff, Paul Hausser. Fighting the Breakout: The German Army in Normandy from "Cobra" to the Falaise Gap. London and Mechanicsburg: Greenhill Books/Lionel Leventhal, 2004. 255 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-85367-584-3. Reviewed by Polly Kienle (Department of History, Universitaet Konstanz) Published on H-German (July, 2005) Still Fighting for the Myth: German Wehrmacht Officers' Reports for the U.S. Historical Division in the Context of the Historiography on the Allied Normandy Breakout Christian von Gersdorff, writing in service of the U.S. Army Historical Division about his experience as Chief of Staff of the German Seventh Army in the months immediately following the Allied landing at Normandy in June, 1944, sums up the German dilemma in the following words: "Despite a frank and lucid estimate of the situation by the High Command of the German forces in the west, Supreme Command did not alter its decisions, though the overall situation was so obvious that no realistically thinking person could entertain any doubts. However, Supreme Command deceived itself and the German people with its belief in Providence. The overriding principle of command remained: 'We'll manage somehow'" (p. 19).[1] This illusionary perspective, certainly intensified by the attempted military coup of July 20, continued to determine the German High Command's practice until it was much too late to seek the "political solution" that a number of high-ranking Army commanding officers on the western front began to dare to recommend openly when it became clear that Allied forces had gained a foothold on the French coast.
