Encyclopedia: Nazi Germany The North German Confederation (German Norddeutscher Bund), a transitional grouping which existed (1867 - 1871) between the dissolution of the German Confederation and the founding of the German Empire, cemented Prussian control over the 22 states of Northern Germany and emanated that same control (via the Zollverein) into southern Germany. The period of German history from 1919 to 1933 is known as the Weimar Republic (IPA, German Weimarer Republik). This was done in order to suggest a return to former German glory after the failure of the 1919 Weimar Republic. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Nazi-Germany   (1538 words)

MSN Encarta - Print Preview - World War I One object of the Russian attack on East Prussia was to fulfill Russian promises to relieve the French by engaging the Germans in the east. The first was the fact that the German First Army drove north and east of Paris instead of following Schlieffen's original plan for a wide sweep to envelop the capital city from the south and west. Each of these armies was marginally superior in strength to that of the German army in East Prussia, although it had the advantage of a central position. encarta.msn.com /text_761569981___18/World_War_I.html   (3993 words)

The Politics of Nazi Occupation The monumental study of German occupation politics by Alexander Dallin, first published in 1957, is based on painstaking research in German archives and on hundreds of interviews with German and Russian participants in the events of that period.* It is as definitive as any study of German occupation politics and practices in any country. The story of the Russian Liberation Movement headed by the captured Soviet general Andrei Vlasov forms the concluding chapters of Professor Dallin’s study. This last episode and the subsequent roundups of the Vlasovites in refugee camps in the western zones of Germany and Austria and in Italy are not part of Dallin’s story. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil /airchronicles/aureview/1983/mar-apr/petrov.htm   (1327 words)

Gearbox Software Forums - What happened in WWII on your birtyday? In June, the German invaders launched an air attack against Kursk; on the ground, Operation Cottbus was launched, ostensibly dedicated to destroying Russian partisan activity, but in reality resulting in the wholesale slaughter of Russian civilians, among whom Soviet partisan fighters had been hiding. On this day in 1943, one of the greatest clashes of armor in military history takes place as the German offensive against the Russian fortification at Kursk, a Russian railway and industrial center, is stopped in a devastating battle, marking the turning point in the Eastern front in the Russians' favor. Most of the German troops in the west were trapped-and were either being killed or taken prisoner--in what was called "the Falaise Pocket," a site around the eastern town of Falaise, which was encircled by the Allies. gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com /showthread.php?t=21006   (172 words)

RUSSIA Since all battleships had been built with armored conning towers, but almost nobody ever actually used them because visiblity from them was so poor, Russian officers, including Admiral Rozhestvensky, were wounded or killed from standing on open bridges as the Japanese shells hit. The "strategic difficulty" ended up meaning that, of the 28 battleships of the Russian Navy in 1904, no less than 17 were lost in the War. All the Russian battleships at Tsushima were either sunk or surrendered. www.friesian.com /russia.htm   (172 words)

Estonian Institute www.einst.ee Rising national and cultural enthusiasm among the Baltic Germans was interrupted with the outbreak of World War I. Although almost all Baltic Germans of military age served as Russian officers, the Russian authorities became increasingly suspicious of possible collaboration between Baltic Germans and the enemy. Later, the Baltic Germans faced fierce attacks from the Russian nationalist press, which accused the Baltic aristocracy of separatism, and advocated closer linguistic and administrative integration with Russia. A characteristic trait of this epoch was the impact of the Enlightenment and German Romanticism on Baltic German intellectuals. www.einst.ee /factsheets/factsheets_uus_kuju/baltic_germans.htm   (2738 words)
