At first glance it may sound obscure, but it studied the Campaign so it was a lot of work. Actually isn’t. It was the first battlefield where British, French and Firestorm Norway could be called Firestorm Weserübung German soldiers would battle on land in World War II. since it does cover Denmark in an abstract way. I went for It would last longer than the Battle of France. It was the Firestorm Norway for reasons of familiarity with most people. first modern combined arms operation with navy, air and In all my Firestorms I have tried to capture the essence of land forces. One which the Wehrmacht performed to their each Campaign and soon I realised that it was impossible German perfection. It was a gross violation of neutral to separate the Naval Actions from the land Campaign and states and Operation Weserübung would conclude in the this added a whole new dimension. Another thing about the occupation of Norway and Denmark for the reminder of Battle of Norway is that Norway is very long and making the war in Europe. Most would hate the invaders, while a map that covered the entire country made it very hard to thousands of their countrymen joined the ranks of the SS focus on the areas of main fighting. So I decided to break up Wiking and SS Nordland to fight the Soviet Union and the the Campaign to three maps. They are the Strategic Map for Norwegian collaborator Vidkun Quisling would give his Naval and Air actions, South Central Norway from Oslo to name to traitors and collaborators. The Royal Navy learned Trondheim and then finally the Narvik Map. Think of it in the hard way that the age of great battleships was at an terms of the Flames of War sliding scale, the closer you focus end. Naval warfare would be determined by air superiority. on the action the smaller the scale becomes. In that way This was also be the only time, the few but effective surface Firestorm Norway is different from previous Firestorms. ships of the Kriegsmarine, would do battle as a navy on The idea of a Firestorm is to put your Flames of War games the high seas. The Battle of Norway would also have far into a larger context. So I went ahead and tried my hand at reaching consequences. It would lead to Churchill becoming designing a simple yet effective Naval/Air game. This turned the Prime Minister of Great Britain and for the Germans, out to be a lot of work. Initially I had tables but the Holy their brilliant campaign would lead to a heavy burden on Grail of game design is KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. It was resources and manpower, one they could ill afford as the war quite clear by reading the books and articles that I could find went on. that battle at sea could be very deadly but in a number of I really like Firestorms. After designing Firestorms for Greece, engagements very little damage occurred. Battleships were Lorraine and Caen I was approached separately by both Eirik particularly resilient to damage which is not surprising as Ulsund and Dane Tkacs to see if I was interested in doing they are over 30.000 tonnes. I also discovered that a lot of one for Norway. Being Icelandic I was interested in looking ships were seriously damaged rather than destroyed. High closely at the Battle for Norway, as we share a kindred spirit level bombing was very inaccurate but Stukas performed very among the Nordic countries. I had however never really well. German submarines were numerous but as with the US II The wreck of the Heavy Cruiser Blücher destroyed by Oscarsborg Fortress as it attempted to land German troops in Oslo at the start of Operation Weserübung. submarines, at the start of World War 2 their torpedoes were secure in Norway the Royal Navy learned the hard way that defective. So rather than to have complex tables and even Air Superiority would dominate World War II naval warfare. more complex damage rules you simply get a Combat Value It was the persistence of Eirik Ulsund and Dane Tkacs that for each unit that translates into number of dice and as in a made me go for such a difficult campaign to design. For Flames of War game you must decide before you roll what is me the experience was a rewarding one. I feel I now have a your intended target. Also just as in a Flames of War game good understanding of Operation Weserübung and I hope being destroyed doesn’t always mean that everyone is killed, that players will appreciate the workings of this exciting and only a unit is rendered combat ineffective.

If the defender wins, he has done combat. Also there are three maps. The Strategic map, just that, successfully defended. Also in order to make an South-Central Norway map and Narvik map, rather than attack you must commit at least one Firestorm ground Unit just one map. This was the best way to capture the essence to the battle which effectively means you can only attack of the Norwegian Campaign.

Another reason for breaking this up is Mini-Campaign: Unlike Bagration and Market Garden this the fact that Norway is a large country but the fighting was is not a large scale campaign and is easily played with only concentrated in the south/centre section of the country and two or four players. If you are a larger group you will need around Narvik. Trying to do just one map would mean that to work something out; be flexible.

  • Civilian Structures As Military Restrictions the Sudden Transition to Heavy Tanks in Sweden
    vulcan 5 (2017) 42-63 brill.com/vulc Civilian Structures as Military Restrictions The Sudden Transition to Heavy Tanks in Sweden Petter J. Wulff Apeltunet 7, 181 48 Lidingo, Sweden [email protected] Abstract The military community is a secluded part of society and normally has to act on the conditions offered by its civilian surroundings. When heavy vehicles were developed for war, the civilian infrastructure presented a potential restriction to vehicular mobil- ity. In Sweden, bridges were seen as a critical component of this infrastructure. It took two decades and the experiences of a second world war for the country to come to terms with this restriction. This article addresses the question as to why Swedish tanks suddenly became much heavier in the early 1940s. The country’s bridges play a key role in what happened, and the article explains how. It is a story about how a military deci- sion came to be outdated long before it was upgraded. Keywords tanks – infrastructure – transition In the 1920s and 30s, Sweden produced and imported various forms of armored vehicles—primarily so-called ‘tanks’—which had been spectacularly intro- duced in The Great War. In the case of tank technology, however, a sudden shift occurred in the early 1940s. Within a year Swedish tank weights doubled and never returned to earlier levels. Such a drastic shift is not a normal part of technological development, or at least cannot be explained by any sudden change in tank technology itself. The sudden deviation from a more gradual development path calls for an answer as to what made the shift occur.

  • Commemorating the Overseas-Born Victoria Cross Heroes a First World War Centenary Event
    Commemorating the overseas-born Victoria Cross heroes A First World War Centenary event National Memorial Arboretum 5 March 2015 Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, David Cameron The First World War saw unprecedented sacrifice that changed – and claimed – the lives of millions of people. Even during the darkest of days, Britain was not alone. Our soldiers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with allies from around the Commonwealth and beyond. Today’s event marks the extraordinary sacrifices made by 145 soldiers from around the globe who received the Victoria Cross in recognition of their remarkable valour and devotion to duty fighting with the British forces. These soldiers came from every corner of the globe and all walks of life but were bound together by their courage and determination. The laying of these memorial stones at the National Memorial Arboretum will create a lasting, peaceful and moving monument to these men, who were united in their valiant fight for liberty and civilization. Their sacrifice shall never be forgotten. Foreword Foreword Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles The Centenary of the First World War allows us an opportunity to reflect on and remember a generation which sacrificed so much. Men and boys went off to war for Britain and in every town and village across our country cenotaphs are testimony to the heavy price that so many paid for the freedoms we enjoy today. And Britain did not stand alone, millions came forward to be counted and volunteered from countries around the globe, some of which now make up the Commonwealth. These men fought for a country and a society which spanned continents and places that in many ways could not have been more different.

    THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND ALLIED NAVAL FORCES’ OPERATION WITH THE ANTI-COMMUNIST GUERRILLAS IN THE KOREAN WAR: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE OPERATION ON THE WEST COAST By INSEUNG KIM A dissertation submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the British Commonwealth and Allied Naval forces operation on the west coast during the final two and a half years of the Korean War, particularly focused on their co- operation with the anti-Communist guerrillas. The purpose of this study is to present a more realistic picture of the United Nations (UN) naval forces operation in the west, which has been largely neglected, by analysing their activities in relation to the large number of irregular forces. This thesis shows that, even though it was often difficult and frustrating, working with the irregular groups was both strategically and operationally essential to the conduct of the war, and this naval-guerrilla relationship was of major importance during the latter part of the naval campaign.

  • Switzerland in the Second World War
    To Our American Friends: Switzerland in the Second World War By Dr. Hans J. Halbheer, CBE Honorary Secretary of the American Swiss Foundation Advisory Council in Switzerland and a Visiting Scholar at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, California Dr. Halbheer wrote the following essay in 1999 to offer a Swiss perspective on some issues of the recent controversy to American friends of Switzerland. In addressing the arguments raised by U.S. critics of the role of Switzerland during the Second World War, I am motivated both by my feelings of friendship towards America and by my Swiss patriotism. For both of these reasons, I feel deeply hurt by both the charges against my country and the vehemence with which they have been expressed. During a recent period of residency at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, one of the leading U.S. think tanks, I sought to present my personal standpoint regarding the lack of understanding about Switzerland’s role during the Second World War in many discussions with Americans both young and old. On these occasions, I emphasized my awareness of the fact that the criticisms of Switzerland came only from a small number of Americans. Despite the settlement reached in August 1998 between the two major Swiss banks (Credit Suisse Group and UBS) and two Jewish organizations (the World Jewish Congress and the World Jewish Restitution Organization), the matter has still not run its course, although it has widely disappeared from the American media. Unfortunately, I must maintain that as a result of the generally negative portrayal of Switzerland over the past few years, the image of Switzerland has suffered.

  • British Imperialism in Books from the “Third Reich”
    Empire and National Character: British Imperialism in Books from the “Third Reich” Victoria Jane Stiles, MA, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the variety of representations and rhetorical deployments of the theme of British Imperialism within books published in the “Third Reich”. The thesis considers these books not only as vehicles for particular ideas and arguments but also as consumer objects and therefore as the product of a series of compromises between the needs of a host of actors, both official and commercial. It further traces the origins of the component parts of these texts via the history of reuse of images and extracts and by identifying earlier examples of particular tropes of “Englishness” and the British Empire. British imperial history was a rich source of material for National Socialist writers and educators to draw on and lent itself to a wide variety of arguments. Britain could be, in turns, a symbol of “Nordic” strength, a civilisation in decline, a natural ally and protector of Germany, or a weak, corrupt, outdated entity, controlled by Germany’s supposed enemies. Drawing on a long tradition of comparing European colonial records, the British Empire was also used as a benchmark for Germany’s former imperial achievements, particularly in moral arguments regarding the treatment of indigenous populations. Through its focus on books, which were less ephemeral than media such as newspaper and magazine articles, radio broadcasts or newsreels, the thesis demonstrates how newer writings sought to recontextualise older material in the light of changing circumstances.

Tbe basic method is that of echo integration, with compensation for acoustic extinction. Physical capture has been effected by means of the MultisampIer pelagic trawl, which allows remote opening and • closing of each of three codends at arbitrary depths. This has shown essentially thorough mixing of the dominant year classes except in the two fjord arms, where the sampIes contained a larger proportion of older fish (1983 year class). Geostatistics has been employed to describe the spatial structure and to provide an estimate of variance.

    The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway ROGNVALD BOYD Boyd, R.: The Lillevik dyke complex, Narvik: geochemistry and tectonic implications of a probable ophiolite fragment in the Caledonides of the Ofoten region, North Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 63, pp. 39-54. Oslo 1983, ISSN 0029-196X. The Lillevik dyke complex occurs in an allochthonous unit and shows field relationships indicative of a transition from the mafic cumulate to the sheeted dyke zone in a segment of an ophiolite. Major and trace element chemistry confirm the MORB character of most of the diabases. Certain diabase, gabbro and trondhjemite dykes have REE patterns suggesting a later stage of ocean-island volcanism. The Lillevik complex and equivalent bodies along strike on the eastern limb of the Ofoten synform are a probable source for the mafic facies of the overlying Elvenes Conglomerate. Analogies with other areas suggest that the Lillevik complex was obducted during the Finnmarkian orogeny. R. Boyd, Norges geologiske undersøkelse, Postboks 3006, N-7001 Trondheim, Norway.
