	History of Germany during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Military history of Greece during World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is considered the turning point of the war as the German invasion was disastrous as a result of the Russian winter.

	World War II
		Others even regard World War I, which culminated in the Peace with the Central Powers in 1921 and World War II as parts of the same conflict, with only a breathing spell in between.
		World War II would go down in the history books as bringing about the downfall of Western Europe as the center of world power, leading to the rise of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), setting up conditions leading to the Cold War, and opening up the nuclear age.
		Many historians trace the roots of World War II to the Treaty of Versailles and other peace agreements that followed World War I. The Germans found it easy to blame the harsh Treaty of Versailles for their troubles.

	STALINISM -- BEFORE AND DURING WORLD WAR II
		Between World War I and World War II the protracted equilibrium which had tolerated a Soviet Union in a capitalist world had begun also to engender illusions that the soviets could coexist peacefully for an indefinite period with the rest of the world.
		During World War I the opportunist socialists had banged their heads in vain against the wall of that problem, each nationalist socialist group maintaining that it was "their" country that was being attacked.
		During this period, after the death of Lenin, the line of the Comintern was clearly stated by Bukharin in 1926: "When Germany, defeated and subjugated, reduced to the status of a semi-colonial country, resisted the imperialism of the victorious Entente, in manifestos, declarations, etc., the supreme bodies of the Soviet power publicly declared their sympathy.

	World War II: Massacre At Malmédy During the Battle of the Bulge
		It should be noted, however, that both before and during the American advance from Malmédy in January 1945, artillery from both sides hit the Baugnez area, and the autopsies confirm that at least 15 of the bodies had been hit by shell and mortar fragments after death.
		During this time the Americans were left to their own devices and, since they were not marching toward the east as would have been expected of normal POWs, the newly arrived elements mistook them for a combat unit and opened fire.
		However, the fact that Peiper's men sent scores of prisoners to the rear in the normal manner during their advance earlier on the 17th belies the no-prisoners theory, and attempts by the Americans to produce written evidence of such an order for use at the Dachau war crimes trial came to nothing.

	HyperWar: US Army in WWII: American Military History [Chapter 22]
		Unlike in World War I, when the United States had come late on the scene and provided only those forces to swing the balance of power to the Allied side, the American contribution to the reconquest of Western Europe had been predominant, not just in manpower but as a true arsenal of democracy.
		While the Germans had developed a flying bomb and later a supersonic missile, the weapons with which both sides fought the war were in the main much improved versions of those that had been present in World War I--the motor vehicle, the airplane, the machine gun, indirect fire artillery, the tank.
		Despite sometimes seemingly insurmountable obstacles of weather, terrain, and enemy concentration, they were consistently able to achieve the mass, mobility, and firepower to avoid a stalemate, maintaining the principles of the objective and the offensive and exploiting the principle of maneuver to the fullest.

	YANKEE DIVISION (26TH INFANTRY) WEB SITE.
		In order to be fair about the U.S. Army in World War II you have to realize that the military forces of the U.S. were starved for money throughout the 1930's and they got next to no consideration from the Government.
		There were so many of them that there was a regular force of Military Police who rounded up the stragglers and the lost who not infrequently were separated from their outfits by the very nature of combat (but that's another story).
		The so-called official history of the Yankee division is a white wash of the worst kind and some of the comments are ludicrous, the official history claims that everybody wanted to go into combat.
