    Major Hesketh Vernon Prichard, later Hesketh-Prichard DSO MC FRGS FZS was an India-born British explorer, adventurer, writer, big-game hunter, marksman, and cricketer who contributed to sniping practice within the British Army during the First World War. Concerned not only with improving the quality of marksmanship, the measures he introduced to counter the threat of German snipers were credited by a contemporary with saving the lives of over 3,500 Allied soldiers.Hesketh-Prichard eventually gained official support for his campaign, and in August 1915, he was given permission to proceed with formalized sniper training. By November of that year, his reputation was such that he was in high demand from many units. In December, he was ordered, on General Allenby's request, to the Third Army School of Instruction and was made a general staff officer with the rank of captain. On January 1, 1916, he was mentioned in dispatches.His friend George Gray, himself a champion shooter, told him that he had reduced sniping casualties from five a week per battalion to forty-four in three months in sixty battalions; by his reckoning, this meant that Hesketh-Prichard had saved over 3,500 lives. He was promoted to major in November 1916. By this time in the war, his contributions to sniping had been such that the former German superiority in the practice had now been reversed.

    Archive sind Orte der Geschichte, in denen Zeugnisse der Vergangenheit aufbewahrt und der Nutzung zugänglich gemacht werden. Auch verwahren sie Dokumente, die Zeugnis über ihre eigene Vergangenheit ablegen. Der Einfluss von Politik und Ideologie auf die archivische Tätigkeit war im Nationalsozialismus stark ausgeprägt. So hat das Staatsarchiv Hamburg bei der Erstellung der sogenannten ¿Ariernachweise¿ aufgrund der von ihm aufbewahrten Quellen eine besondere Position eingenommen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Vergangenheit und die Rolle des Staatsarchivs sowie der dort tätigen wissenschaftlichen Archivare ¿ Heinrich Reincke, Hans Kellinghusen, Erich von Lehe und Kurt Detlev Möller ¿ im Nationalsozialismus auf der Basis von Geschäftsakten und betrachtet die dabei gewonnenen Ergebnisse vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Forschungen.

    A heart-stopping true tale of a submarine mission aimed at destroying Japan's merchant marine lifeline and ending World War II. By 1945, the U.S. Navy's submarine force in the Pacific had sunk over a thousand enemy cargo ships and tankers supplying the food, weapons, and oil Japan needed to continue to fight. Yet this once mighty merchant fleet continued to thrive in the Sea of Japan, where, protected from American submarines by a seemingly impenetrable barrier of deadly minefields, they provided a tenuous lifeline for the Japanese. Senior American commanders believed that if these enemy ships were sunk, Japan would be forced to surrender. Here is the incredible story of Operation Barney, the daring plot to penetrate those minefields and decimate the enemy fleet. The brainchild of the dedicated sub commander Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, the mission would hinge on a new experimental sonar system that would, with luck, guide American submarines safely past the mines and into the open sea. The nine submarines chosen, nicknamed Hellcats, were tasked with the impossible-the combined crews of 760 submariners all knew their chances of survival depended on an unproven technology and their own nerve. Based on original documents and the poignant personal letters of one doomed Hellcat commander, Sasgen crafts a classic naval tale of one of World War II's most dangerous missions.

    How did the British people feel during the final years of the Second World War? What did they really think about rationing, evacuations, and the US and Soviet Union joining the Allies? How did the tide of feeling change as the war turned against the Axis Powers and the focus moved to creating a post-war world?During the war, the morale of the British people was monitored by Home Intelligence, part of the Ministry of Information, that kept watch on the behaviour and opinions of the public. Leading historian Jeremy Crang brings together extensive extracts from the Home Intelligence Reports from June 1941 to December 1944. The collection provides an original and gripping account of life on the home front in the final years of the Second World War.The book offers unique insights into public reactions to key British military events but also the continuing stresses and strains of life on the home front such as strikes, food rationing and fuel economy. It strips away some of the nostalgia that had grown up around the British home front and enables readers to explore for themselves a fascinating and many-sided record of the 'People's War.'The collection is a truly exceptional history of the last years of the war. It is indispensable in understanding both the unity and the diversity of wartime Britain, as well as public aspirations for a better post-war 'tomorrow'.

    This publication is a facsimile reprint of the issued study papers for the British Army battlefield tour of Operation Goodwood of 1947. Used on its own, the book presents a description of the planning of the operation, events before and during the action (from 18 to 21 July 1944) and also the detailed Order of Battle of 8th Corps. Also included are the operation instructions for 8 Corps and 11 Armoured Division. The artillery plan is given in detail together with the air plan and other important items. The maps are reproduced in colour and bound as per the original.Goodwood was launched at a time of high frustration in the higher command of the Allies, and this contributed to the controversy surrounding the operation. The Allied bridgehead in Normandy was not expanding at the pace they wanted; the lodgement was about 20% of the planned size, which led to congestion, and there was some fear of a stalemate. Allied commanders were not able to exploit their potentially decisive advantages in mobility during June and early July 1944. They were looking for a decisive breakthrough of the German defensive front.This British offensive took place between 18 and 20 July 1944 as part of the larger battle for Caen in Normandy, France. The objective of the operation was a limited attack to the south, from the Orne bridgehead, to capture the rest of Caen and the Bourguébus Ridge beyond. While Goodwood failed in its primary aim, it forced the Germans to keep powerful formations opposite the British and Canadians on the eastern flank of the Normandy beachhead and Operation Cobra, the first US Army attack which began on 25 July, caused the weaker German defences opposite to collapse.

    How does one engage in the study of strategy? Strategy: Context and Adaptation from Archidamus to Airpower argues that strategy is not just concerned with amassing knowledge; it is also about recognizing our imperfect understanding of the environment and respecting the complex nature of adaptation to the unforeseen or unexpected. In essence, the strongest strategists are those who commit to an education that cultivates a more holistic and adaptive way of thinking. With that thought in mind, the contributors to Strategy, each a current or former professor at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, widely considered the Department of Defense's premier school of strategy, offer ways of thinking strategically about a variety of subject matters, from classical history to cyber power. Practitioners in the profession of arms, perhaps more than any other profession, must employ critical thinking where the application of power on land, at sea, in the air, and in space and cyberspace are concerned. Strategy examines various sub-disciplines regarding the use of power, and illuminates different approaches to thinking which have implications beyond the implementation of force.

    Anton Ottmann eröffnet einen bewegenden Einblick in das Leben des Ehepaars Rositta und Leopold Oppenheimer sowie ihrer Söhne Hans und Max - eine Familie, die durch die Schrecken des Holocausts zerrissen wurde, aber nie aufhörte, gegen das Vergessen anzukämpfen. Ottmann verknüpft die fragmentierten Lebenswege zu einem fesselnden Gesamtbild einer deutsch-jüdischen Familie mit regionalem Bezug. Von Heidelberg bis nach London, von den französischen Internierungslagern Gurs und Noé, von der Verfolgung bis zum Exil, taucht Ottmann tief in die Geschichte dieser Familie ein. Herzstück des Buches bilden Auszüge aus 200 Briefen, die sich die Oppenheimers in der Zeit des Zweiten Weltkriegs geschrieben haben - Zeilen, die von Angst, Liebe, Hoffnung und der unerschütterlichen Bindung zwischen Eltern und Kindern zeugen. Zusammen mit den von Ottmann verfassten Biografien enthüllen sie ein Leben zwischen Verzweiflung und Zuneigung, zwischen dem Kampf ums Überleben und dem Festhalten an Menschlichkeit und Wahrhaftigkeit.

    The story of the United States Air Force stretches back to aerial operations prior to the First World War-well before the USAF became a separate service-and looks forward to a new era of air power in space. Fighting from Above presents a concise account of this expansive history, offering a new perspective on how the air forces of the United States created an independent way of warfare over time.From the earliest battles of the USAF's predecessor organizations to its modern incarnation, Brian D. Laslie identifies four distinct and observable ways of war that developed over four distinct epochs. Beginning with the development of early air power (1906-1941), he highlights the creation of roles and missions, with bombardment theory and practice ascendant. An era of strategic dominance (1942-1975) followed, in which the ideas of strategic bombardment ruled the United States Air Force; when such notions were unceremoniously proven false during the Vietnam-era conflicts, a period of tactical ascendancy (1975-2019) began. Finally, Laslie considers the current environment, where much of the story of the USAF remains unwritten, as we are still grappling with the challenges posed by an unmanned future with drones and realization of the promises of a final frontier.While detailing combat operations, Fighting from Above also pays close attention to technology, politics, rivalries, logistics, policy, organization, equipping, and training. Thorough, concise, and innovative in its approach, it is an authoritative, exceptionally readable history of the development of American air power.

    This book contains eleven stories by members of the British South Africa Police who started out as troopers at periods ranging from the earliest days of the Force to immediately after World War Two.They tell stories of times when malaria and blackwater fever were rife and a cure unknown, the young dispatch rider who died while carrying out his duty as a link in the vitally important task of carrying the mails from the brand new territory (later called Southern Rhodesia) to South Africa; of dealing with rebellion in neighbouring Portuguese East Africa; of such mundane tasks as running the postage service at a small rural station; of the 1920s when roads were still few and far between and the horse and the pack mule were important means of transport; of a time when, once he left his station, the trooper was on his own.One story describes how the 'old hands' enjoyed a typical pun crawl in Bulawayo; another tells of the drifts over the Limpopo River before the bridge at Beit Bridge was opened; another trooper tells of his slightly unorthodox hunt for an elephant who was destroying native crops.The famous gold robbery at Filabusi where the chief suspect was a BSAP trooper is recounted.The memoirs of Trooper Seward who rose to be a Lieutenant Colonel commanding Bulawayo District offers an important insight into how Police duties were performed.Last but not least is the story of Trooper Johnston who was a member of the famous 'Alcantara' Draft immediately after World War Two and who was recruited in London by Lt Col Seward.
