	VICTORY IN THE WEST Sword beach excerpt
		This stretch of coast was the Sword area and the beach to the west of la Brèche was known as 'Queen'; the British 3rd Division was to attack there on a single brigade front.
		And here as elsewhere along the British front the fact that with few exceptions the near defences of the coast had been silenced did not yet mean that the beaches were free from danger.
		British tanks had reached German artillery positions and seeing that the defence in this sector was beginning to disintegrate the LXXXIV Corps Commander decided to modify his plans and to pull out the 21st Panzer Division from east of the Orne and send it into action against the British landings west of the river.

	Maps WWII Normandy Invasion June-July 1944
		Although the Allied command's expectations of progress in the first fifty days of the Normandy invasion were somewhat optimistic, the results of themilitary campaign in fact showed that the Allies had produced a reasonable forecast of progress to be expected for the first ninety days after the invasion.
		In addition to the armed forces that were designated for the initial landings, there were further divisions and corps allocated for exploitation after a successful beachhead was established.
		In the continuing effort to capture Caen, British armed forces launched a flanking attack on the right of the front which proved insufficient to break the German defense.

		The British agreed not only with the concept but also with a War Department proposal, code named Bolero, for a great buildup of American forces in Britain, with approximately 1 million men to be equipped and trained to carry out air operations in 1942 and a major invasion of the Continent in 1943.
		Troops of the British Second Army meanwhile began to land at 7:20 am On Gold Beach the advance elements of the 50th Division were pinned down at first by German fire, but gradually they worked their way around the resistance and pushed rapidly inland.
		The most significant German development was the ordering of a panzer corps to the Caen area, a harbinger of the fact that the Germans saw the British landings and their threat to open ground leading toward Paris as the Allied main effort.

	Introduction
		The Surgeon General promptly announced that the Army Nurse Corps was 10,000 nurses short, leading some critics to charge that American nurses were shirking their duty and avoiding military service.
		When the war ended in September 1945 just 479 fl nurses were serving in a corps of 50,000 because a quota system imposed by the segregated Army during the fast two years of the war held down the number of fl enrollments.
		U.S. and British troops invaded Sicily on 9 July 1943, and nurses of the 10th Field Hospital and the 11th Evacuation Hospital arrived on the island three days later.

		After a spell of duty in Norway in 1940, and a return to India as Commander-in-Chief in 1941, he was chosen by Churchill to succeed Wavell as Commander-in-Chief Middle-East in June 1941.
		His task was to supervise the most difficult stage of the Desert War, when the British were at their weakest and most demoralized and Rommel at his strongest and most audacious.

	Britisches Frei-Korps / British Free Corps
		The British Free Corps was formed in January of 1944 from a group of British and Commonwealth volunteers under German control known as the Legion of St. George.
		The insignia included a Union Jack shield that was worn on the left arm, a Lion of St. George collar patch, and later towards the end of the war, a British Free Corps cuff title.
		Like the Volkssturm Battalions and HJ units assigned by OKW to his weak Panzerkorps for last-ditch offensives in late April 1945 - Korps Commander Steiner also felt that the BFC was of very negligible combat value at best, and wanted nothing to do with their haphazard deployment and sure destruction in the Berlin Kessel.

	British Pay WWII POWs Debt Of Honor - CBS News
		British prisoners of the Japanese more than fifty years ago, subjected to horrific punishment and forced into slave labor, are to receive compensation -- a payment of $15,000 to some 16,000 former POW's or their widows, just authorized by the British government.
		Like the British government, the U.S. Congress has worried that singling out one group of veterans for compensation now might set a precedent for other claims.
		What the British finally decided was that the sacrifice of the former prisoners was unique, and they were due a debt of honor.

	NewsHour Extra: World War II Memorial Officially Dedicated in Washington, DC -- May 31, 2004
		For the estimated 4 million American veterans of World War II still living, the newest Washington, D.C. memorial is a long-awaited and permanent recognition of their sacrifice and success.
		But approximately 12 million WWII veterans -- equivalent to the current populations of New York City and Los Angeles combined -- died before they would have a chance to see the national World War II Memorial, which will be officially dedicated Memorial Day weekend.
		The granite-and-bronze monument encompasses 7.4 acres, about the size of a football field, and is defined by a large oval nearly centered between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.

		A mildmannered man with a high-pitched voice, General Bradley created the impression less of a soldier than of a teacher, which he actually was during much of his early career in the Army (at the U. Military Academy and the Infantry School).
		Early in World War II he served as commandant of the Infantry School, commanded an infantry division in training, and in the spring of 1943 commanded the 2d Corps in North Africa and later in Sicily.
		Bradley missed full encirclement of a German army in Normandy, but this was generally attributed to the delayed advance of troops under British command.

		Organized in January 1942 and disbanded just two years later, the Raider battalions were developed as a Marine Corps special mission force, based on the success of the British commandos and Chinese guerrillas operating in northern China.
		From Guadalcanal and the Makin Atoll to Bougainville and New Georgia, lightly armed and intensely trained Raiders had a three-fold mission: spearhead larger amphibious landings on beaches thought to be inaccessible, conduct raids requiring surprise and high speed, and operate as guerrilla units for lengthy periods behind enemy lines.
		Bougainville, the largest of the Solomon Islands at nearly 30 miles wide and 125 miles long, was the assignment of the 2nd and 3rd Raider battalions as they led the way for the Nov. 1 invasion.
