	THIRD REICH ARMY COMMAND FLAGS
		The German Army's World War II system of command flags and pennants was developed in the late 1920's, with additions and modifications being made as required.
		The Chief of the Army Command (Commander-in-Chief of the Army from 1935) had a flag with a red frame and a white field bearing the traditional Iron Cross; the design was modified when the title was changed.
		In 1939 an additional flag was introduced for army groups, similar to the flag for armies except for a white-red frame.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		In the first phase the German Army was to engage the Soviet main force as close to the western border of the Soviet Union as possible, cut it up by encircling movements, and destroy it and so prevent the Russians from fighting a delaying action across the vast spaces of their country.
		Hitler instructed the German Army of Norway to be prepared to occupy the Petsamo region and to conduct an offensive from Finland to cut the Murmansk (Kirov) Railroad.
		Army Group South, commanded by Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, was to attack from southern Poland and Romania, its flank armies converging on Kiev to trap the Soviet armies in the western Ukraine in a great pocket west of the Dnieper (Dnepr) River.

	Flags of the Army 1935-1945 (Germany) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The German Army's principal tactical headquarters, usually controlling 3-5 divisions, typically commanded by a lieutenant general, main types were infantry, Panzer, mountain, e.g.
		At the center of the flag is a white disk surrounded by a silver wreath and containing a fl ("Army type", with wings directed downward) eagle grasping a fl swastika — thus similar to the eagle that frequently appeared on Army steel helmets.
		The Panzer Groups were upgraded in status circa 1941 (I believe about the time of the invasion of the USSR), e.g.

	Soviet Operational Deception: the Red Cloak
		The regrouping of the 3d Guards Tank Army (GTA) in the battles for the Dnieper River in October 1943 is a second-period example that foreshadows the operational dexterity and manipulation of forces by the Red Army battlefield magicians.
		To strengthen the first-echelon rifle army strike for a quick breakthrough of the Germans' tactical defense zone, two brigades-one mechanized and one tank-from the 3d GTA were committed as forward detachments to the battle early on 15 July.
		The panzer army's daily war journal indicated that the presence of the 8th GMC raised the potential for the Soviets to commit a tank army: "We must expect the rapid commitment of enemy operational reserves.

	Kursk
		The whole German Sixth Army, most of the divisions in the the Fourth Panzer Army, and some of what was left of the Third and the Fourth Rumanian Armies were surrounded."[15] In all nearly 300,000 Axis troops were trapped in the Stalingrad pocket.
		German planning placed great confidence in the superiority of the new heavy tank the Panther V, and the two new super-heavy tanks, the Tiger and the Ferdinand, which were deployed for the first time in large numbers.
		In 1942 the German Army attacked towards the Caucasus along a line running slightly east of Orel, Kursk, and Kharkov and as far south as the Sea of Azov; the German offensive penetrated deep into the Caucasus and as far east as the shores of the Volga River.

	H-Net Review: James V. Koch on Heroes or Traitors: The German Replacement Army, the July Plot, and Adolf Hitler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Two highly placed German officers who were party to the plot and did survive, despite intense interrogations, were General Adolf Heusinger (who actually was present in the briefing room when the bomb exploded), and Hans Speidel, the Chief of Staff to Erwin Rommel, and who later became commander of the land forces of NATO, 1957-63.
		The Replacement Army conspirators (whom Dunn never really identifies, other than Stauffenberg and a few others) were able to engage in their subterfuge, he argues, because of the inherent flux in the Replacement Army's activities.
		Further, the native German pool of draftees now was dominated by very young men (sixteen and seventeen year olds) and much older men (forty to fifty year olds) and individuals with health problems (the so-called "stomach troops" because so many had stomach and other physical ailments).

	The Failures of Historiography: Forgotten Battles of the German-Soviet War (1941-1945)
		German sources, in vivid detail (including operational and tactical reports, intercepts of Soviet radio transmissions, and hundreds of POW debriefings), describe a daring Soviet ground operation, supported by air, designed to reduce and destroy the Demiansk encirclement (German II Army Corps).
		German unit histories, memoirs, and archival materials, however, amply attest to the scope, intensity, and duration of Soviet offensive efforts against German forces in Belorussia during this entire period.
		According to German sources, foremost of which are studies by H. von Manteuffel, commander of Grossdeutschland Panzer Grenadier Division, and F. von Senger und Etterlin, the battle was precipitated when large Soviet forces struck German positions north of Iassy in an attempt to seize the city and advance deep into Rumania (see map 14).

	Saskatchewan: Land of Living Skies Bookstore - Stalingrad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		It is a credit to the indomitable fighting abilities of the Soviet Red Army officers and enlisted men and to the leadership of General Vasily Chuikov - who commanded the beseiged Soviet 62nd Army - that Stalingrad was held against initially overwhelming odds.
		During the course of the Stalingrad campaign, more than 13,000 Soviet Red Army officers and enlisted men were summarily executed by the Soviet NKVD (Secret Police) and by Soviet Red Army military tribunals for desertion, dereliction of duty and treason.
		But the clearest thing I gleaned from this book was the utter perverse, double-edged miracle of it all: The first "miracle:" that Hitler's army's managed to defeat anything at all, considering Hitler's poor military strategies coupled with his obsession with controlling all troop movements from afar and his inability to take advice.
