World War II Plus 55 - June 5th and 6th , 1942 German admiral Gunther Lutjens concealed his Jewish ancestry to lead Germany's greatest battleship on a nine-day chase across the Atlantic Ocean, which caused his own death and that of 2,500 other British and German sailors. A German cavalry colonel and baron named Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg, the descendant of a famous German military family, grievously wounded in battle, became so appalled and horrified by Adolf Hitler's reign of terror, that he carried a bomb into a conference, intending to kill the Fuhrer, overthrow the government, and bring peace.

DEFENSE OF POLAND Germans had a greater advantage in the deployment of massed tanks and in the use of their air force for bombing raids - especially dive bombers and fighters used to strafe both Polish troop columns and civilians fleeing the Germans. On September 1, Germans bombed the main Polish airfields, but damage was relatively small; this is because, as early as August 27, all Polish military aircraft had been dispersed to small, well-camouflaged airfields scattered around Warsaw. The German planes were often twice as fast, four to eight times better armed and able to fly higher than the Polish machines, but the Polish planes were more maneuverable. www.apacouncil.org /ww2/2dp.html   (2814 words)

Polish_September_Campaign The German plan Fall Weiss, for what became known as the September campaign, was created by General Franz Halder, chief of the general staff, and directed by General Walther von Brauchitsch, the commander in chief of the upcoming campaign. While German forces were not as mobile or numerous as they would be in the later stages of the Second World War, the six armoured (panzer) divisions of the Wehrmacht comprised some 2,400 tanks, organized into divisions and with revolutionary, new operational doctrine. Mechanization was the key to this German tactic, first revealed in the September campaign and nicknamed blitzkrieg, or "lightning war," by contemporary journalists, who found the name fitting because of the unprecedented speed and mobility that were its underlying characteristics. copernicus.subdomain.de /Polish_September_Campaign   (7296 words)

Victor and Vanquished At 4.45 on the morning of 1st September 1939, the German battleship 'Schleswig-Holstein' opened fire on the Westerplatte, the fortress on the Gulf of Danzig. To be sure, one side of the German character remained effective: credulous subordination amounting to self-abandonment, as well as an almost pathological devotion to discipline, stimulated with absolute calculation by National Socialist propaganda. In the streets of Berlin and the other German cities, however, there was neither jubilation nor that mass intoxication of men lusting for death so dear to totalitarian manipulators of the popular mood. www.ourcivilisation.com /smartboard/shop/festjc/chap5.htm   (7007 words)
