Loss and Redemption at St Vith closes a gap in the record of the Battle of the Bulge by recounting the exploits of the 7th Armored Division in a way that no other study has. Most accounts of the ...Battle of the Bulge give short-shrift to the interval during which the German forward progress stopped and the American counterattack began. This narrative centers on the 7th Armored Division for the entire length of the campaign, in so doing reconsidering the story of the whole battle through the lens of a single division and accounting for the reconstitution of the Division while in combat.
The acclaimed World War II historian delivers "a panoramic and compelling boots-on-the-ground illumination of one of the Bulge's most epic battles" (Patrick K.O'Donnell, author of Washington's ...Immortals ). Hitler's last gamble, the Battle of the Bulge, was intended to push the Allied invaders of Normandy all the way back to the beaches. The plan nearly succeeded, and almost certainly would have, were it not for one small Belgian town and its tenacious American defenders who held back a tenfold larger German force while awaiting the arrival of Gen. George Patton's mighty Third Army. In this dramatic account of the 1944–45 winter of war in Bastogne, historian Peter Schrijvers offers the first full story of the German assault on the strategically located town. From the December stampede of American and Panzer divisions racing to reach Bastogne first, through the bloody eight-day siege from land and air, and through three more weeks of unrelenting fighting even after the siege was broken, events at Bastogne hastened the long-awaited end of WWII. Schrijvers draws on diaries, memoirs, and other fresh sources to illuminate the experiences not only of Bastogne's three thousand citizens and their American defenders, but also of German soldiers and commanders desperate for victory. The costs of war are revealed, uncovered in the stories of those who perished and those who emerged from battle to find the world forever changed. "A fast-paced story... Schrijvers does an admirable job of weaving personal accounts into the larger picture of Bastogne's horrors." — The Wall Street Journal "Pulse-pounding... The first thorough treatment of the famous battle for Bastogne." —John C.McManus, author of Fire and Fortitude
This article examines one of the areas of activity for restriction of information - the system of military censorship in the Soviet military press: what remained unchanged and what was transformed in ...its work on protecting information, which was a military secret between 1944 and 1945. The study focuses on the regulatory framework of military censorship, the objects of the ban, the censor's personnel, technology of censorship control. Until December 1943 in the Red Army, there was a 'Regulation on the organization of military censorship' of 1935, which did not meet wartime requirements. The new 'Regulation' corrected the situation. The change and addition of the composition of the information constituting military secrets were directly affected by the course of combat operations during the Red Army's campaign in Europe. The subject of censorship prevented the disclosure of military secrets, political errors, and information undesirable to publish in the military press.
During the Battle of the Bulge, Waffen SS soldiers shot 84 American prisoners near Malmedy, Belgium—the deadliest mass execution of U.S. soldiers during World War II. Drawing on newly declassified ...documents, Steven Remy revisits the massacre and the most infamously controversial war crimes trial in American history, to set the record straight.
Individuals exposed to the Dutch Famine of 1944-45 during gestation have increased adiposity, which might be due to changes in energy intake, physical activity, or metabolic efficiency. We studied ...357 persons born between January 1945 and March 1946 whose mothers experienced famine during or immediately preceding pregnancy, 298 persons born in the same 3 institutions during 1943 or 1947 (time controls), and 311 same-sex sibling controls. We obtained food frequency and physical activity data by questionnaire between 2003 and 2005 (mean age 58 y). We defined gestational exposure as exposure to a ration of <3762 kJ/d (<900 kcal/d) for at least 10 wk. For the whole study population, energy intake was 9225 ± 2650 kJ/d and physical activity was 7380 ± 4331 metabolic equivalents (MET)·min/wk. Compared with time controls, gestational famine exposure was associated with 113 kJ/d (95% CI, -272, 502) higher energy intake, 0.01 percentage point (95% CI, -0.88, 0.89) higher fat density, 688 MET·min/wk (95% CI, -1398, 23) lower physical activity, and 63 kJ/d (95% CI, -130, 259) higher predicted energy expenditure (pEE). Compared with sibling controls, gestational famine exposure was associated with 4 kJ/d (95% CI, -702, 711) higher energy intake, 2.01 percentage points (95% CI, 0.38, 3.63) higher fat density, 97 MET·min/wk) (95% CI, -1243, 1050) lower physical activity score, and 188 kJ/d (95% CI, -163, 539) higher pEE. Gender-specific associations (P < 0.05 for heterogeneity) emerged for protein density and pEE using time controls and for energy intake using sibling controls. Associations were weak, differed by choice of control, and may reflect sampling variability or methodological differences. Persistent small energy imbalances could explain the increased weight of famine-exposed individuals.
