Battle Of Aachen

Battle Of Aachen
Battle of Aachen The Battle of Aachen took place in the city of Aachen. This was locate on the
western border of Germany close to the Berlin border. This battle was between the American forces,
German forces, and a small group of national militia men. The actual battle took place from the 2nd
of October 1944 through the 21st of October 1944. The prep prior to the battle was from the 13th of
September 1944 through the 1st of October 1944. The American forces was the only allied force to
bring the fight to the German forces during this battle. This was a major battle during World War II.
It all took place in the city of Aachen during the 2nd of October 1944 through the 21st of October
1944. Aachen was a city considered to be held in high regards by Adolph Hitler. This city is the
place that is said to be where the First German Reich was founded. It was a plain and simple
strategy. Adolph Hitler and the German forces were not going to let the American forces ... Show

The skies had been cloudy, but no rain. The road were made of dirt and rock. Which did cause
problems with vision because of the dust, but was not a huge factor. The battle took place in an
urban environment. The terrain was not good through the city. The cause was because of the bombs
and artillery that was dropped and used by both sides. This came from outside the city, and was
directed with in the city limits. This caused great damage to all the structure throughout the city, and
made it impossible for any vehicle with wheels to pass through. This was a disadvantage to the US
forces, as now they had to send ground forces into the city. The American forces had little to no
intelligence of the city. They would be conducting door to door breaching searching for the
Germans. The advantage was now to the Germans. They knew the lay out of the city both above and

What Differentiates Sfeelou's And Skandalis
One year after the collection of short stories Νιότη χωρίς τραγούδια Sofia Fildisi published the
novel Ο μεγάλος μας αδερφός also set in the period of the Occupation.
Just like in her previous book, in this novel too, the author does not distinguish between Germans
and Nazis and words like 'Nazism', 'Nazis' or 'Third Reich' are nowhere to be found in over one
hundred fifty pages of narrative text. This is of particular importance as Ο μεγάλος μας αδερφός is
the only text published in the first period the metapolitefsi which does mention the existence of Nazi
concentration camps. The reference to the concentration camps, however, is completely

In both books the Germans are portrayed in a neutral way and the words 'soldiers', 'occupiers',
'occupation troops', 'foreigners' and 'enemies' are amongst those employed by the authors to refer to
the Germans. What differentiates Sfaelou's and Skandalis's narratives from those that have talked
about so far, however, is that both writers make use of the term 'Nazis', while in one of Skandalis's
short stories the term 'Third Reich' also comes across. Nonetheless, none of the writers provide any
further explanations, either in the narrative text or in the paratext, which would help the young
reader to put the terms in question into their historical and ideopolitical context. Furthermore, none
of the authors are concerned to distinguish between Germans as a national group and Nazis as a
group of supporters of a certain ideological doctrine and in both texts the word 'Nazi' is used as an
alternative word for 'Germans'. Since no distinctions are made between Germans and Nazis, the
switching between the two words renders them synonymous. In other words, the Germans are
'Nazified' and the Nazis are 'Germanised' while 'Germanness' and 'Nazism' are conflated in the
identity of the enemy with whatever implications this might have to the young reader's
conceptualization of

Passchendaele Movie Analysis
Passchendaele Movie Reflection This movie was about Michael Dunne, a Canadian soldier in WWI.
In the beginning, he fought against a very young German soldier and killed him. Michael was so
horrified with what he had done that he ran away from the army. Later, he was trying not to be sent
back to the battlefield because he would have been killed for deserting the army. Instead he was sent
back to Calgary where Michael saw Sarah and fell in love with her. Sarah's younger brother, David,
was convinced to join the army by his girlfriend's father. Michael rejoined the army under a new
name so that he could protect David. In the end, Michael saved David when he was accidentally
crucified and while doing this Michael sustained fatal injuries. David lost the use of his legs, but he
survived and he went home. Both the textbook and the movie demonstrated some features of WWI.

Firstly, the textbook talked about how people discriminated against German Canadians. In the
movie, Sarah and David Mann were of German descent and they had their house vandalized and
they were outcasts due to their heritage. Germans immigrants were not the only ones having a bad
time in Canada at that time. Young men were under severe pressures to join the army. When the
textbook talked about pressures to join the army, it talked about women's groups pinning white
feathers to man as a sign of cowardice. Although there were no white feathers in the movie, people
repeatedly told David that he ought to join the army and they too called him a coward. Even after
young men went to fight, the war was pointless. While talking about the Battle of Somme,

Essay on A History of the 714th Tank Battalion
A History of the 714th Tank Battalion, 1942–45
The men of the 714th Tank Battalion served their country in its greatest time of need. A key element
of the 12th Armored Division, the 714th fought in harsh conditions against a desperate German
enemy for five consecutive months, driving the Nazi Armies from France and back into the German
heartland.
The 12th Armored Division was activated on 15 September 1942 at a freshly built Camp Campbell,
Kentucky, and soldiers from across the nation began arriving to fill the division's ranks on 24
October 1942. The governors of both Kentucky and Tennessee participated in the activation
ceremonies, in which Major General Carlos Brewer was named commander of the forming division.

Here they learned to do low–level maintenance on their equipment, while conditioning themselves
by long, forced marches and competitive athletic programs within the 12th Armored Division.
The 12th Armored began division–sized maneuvers on 27 April 1943, and Camp Campbell was used
on the 16th and 17th of July, 1943, to stage the Division's first corps level problem with the IV
Corps, Second Army. The 12th Armored had been assigned to IV Corps the previous month.
In August 1943 the 12th Armored Division executed two exercises in preparation for the Tennessee
Maneuvers, which were to start in September. The first was a crossing of the Cumberland River, an
amphibious operation lasting approximately four days. The second exercise, involving four days of
air–ground tactical training, developed upon the Division's return to Camp Campbell The various
units of the 12th Armored began to move south for the Tennessee Maneuvers on 3 September 1943.
The 12th participated in eight of the Tennessee Maneuvers' operations, which lasted from 6
September to the first of November, 1943.
After the Tennessee Maneuvers the Division was reassigned to Camp Barkeley, Texas, and ordered
to streamline its forces. Major General Carlos Brewer removed the regimental organizations in the
division, and replaced them with smaller, self–supporting battalions. The smaller battalions were

The War Of The World War I
War has been a terrible part of the human existence since the beginning of time. According to
historians there has been only 268 years of peace out of the nearly 3,500 years that civilized humans
have existed (Hedges). That is a staggering statistic showing how deep–rooted war is in the minds
and hearts of people. So while war itself might be inevitable the outcome of any given conflict is
anything but predictable. There are many different elements that come into play during combat but
perhaps the most influential factor is geography. In fact, geography has been such an important part
of war that a new field of study has emerged in recent years entitled military geography. On
particular war where the affect of geography can be seen is World War I. During this war the newly
formed Germany attempts to invade France and gain control over Western Europe. This was
invasion was designed to be quick and decisive with Germany overwhelming Franc in as little as six
weeks. However, this plan failed terribly and led to one of the bloodiest, most gruesome war of
attrition the world as ever seen. A reason for this failure was the geography of Western Europe. The
land in this region is fairly level and flat providing little to no cover for attacking forces. This
geography played a pivotal role in determining the outcome of two of the most well known battles
of World War I, the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of Verdun. Most people are pretty familiar
with the first Battle of the

Hitler 's Second World War II
September 1, 1939: Silence in Europe is brought to an abrupt end! German forces storm the Polish
borders, and break the Non–Aggression Pact laid forth over five years before (EyeWitness). The
Fuhrer spoke of the Poles breaking down the peace talks, and of the atrocities committed upon the
Germanic people by them (Hitler, Adolf), but these highly exaggerated claims veiled Hitler's true
intentions: Though Hitler's primary goal was the conquering of Europe, hindsight shows that the
removal of groups of people he disliked or thought of as 'lesser' were included in his plans from the
start. Two days later, on September 3rd, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany: This

It has been my observation that the Germanic peoples have always had an affinity for battle and
glory. Hitler plays into this with his constant use of propaganda, inspiring the German people to
fight for honor, bravery, glory and all such related terms. Finally he concludes his short speech with
a bout of Nationalism: "Long live our people and our Reich!" (Hitler, Adolf)
My next source is the Diary from the Years of Occupation 1939–1944, by Dr. Zygmunt Klukowski a

then details that they're using the Jews as laborers for it. "Jews must sweep the streets, clean all the
public latrines, and fill all the street trenches." (Klukowski) He continues on to say that they must
de–arm and finally adds that there is a police curfew in effect. Finally he surmises that "it seems
most of the orders are aimed at the Jews." (Klukowski) Another entry states that the Germans have
been executing mentally ill patients from the nearby hospitals. "It is so hard to believe anything as
terrible as this." (Klukowski) October 21, 1942, he witnesses the beginning of the "so called German
displacement of the Jews" (Klukowski) Here Klukowski speaks of the indescribable atrocities he

battles they were in, the generals that led the country to victory and it helped Canada become more
independent. The Canadian Army contributed a lot in both World Wars, but they were more
successful in World War One. First, the Canadian troops earned a great reputation after their success
at Vimy Ridge because it was a great victory for them. The victory at Vimy Ridge is a huge success
for the Canadians because they were the only country who could capture it from the Germans. Their

These were major points in the Battle of Somme, and if the Canadians did not capture them, the
whole outcome of the battle would have been different. Also in the Battle of Somme, the Canadian
Army helped Britain capture the Regina Trench in high mud and with the Germans never giving up.
The Canadian Army then took their courage and endurance to use when fighting to capture Desire
Trench, which was occupied by the Germans. This showed the army's perseverance and courage, as
they never gave up during the battle, which then leads to success. Even though the Canadian Army
lost about 24,700 soldiers , they went on to gain 13km , which would be important throughout the
war. After Somme, they made very careful plans for their next attack (Passchendaele), so they would
not lose a lot of men like the battle before. By carefully planning attacks, it lets them look at the
enemy's weaknesses, and how they can use it to their advantage. Then, when they attack, the enemy
will not know what to do, and will lose their land. The Canadian Army captured Passchendaele
village with their third attack, and secured the rest with their final attack. After their first two attacks
failed, they went back to their plans to capture it on the

The Impact Of The German Army On The Successes And...
Assess the influence of the German army on the successes and failures of the Weimar Republic by
1933.
The German Army extended significant influence over the Weimar Republic throughout the period
leading up to 1933. The Republic failed to gain the army's complete allegiance and thus the army
remained as an independent 'state within a state'. The Reichswehr's major influence can therefore be
determined to the successes and failures of the Weimar Republic.
Germany's loss of WWI came as a shock to the entire population, who were constantly being told
Germany had nearly succeeded. However, the German Army astoundingly managed to survive the
defeat without losing its high status in German society. Even though Reichswehr leaders such as ...
Thus, the influence of the German army remained just as strong as it was prior to the republic. As
historian Louis L Snyder wrote, "The Republic was...unable to control [the Reichswehr] or to win its
unqualified allegiance." This influence and power that the army wielded during this period was
particularly enabled during the political and economic hardships within Germany, as well as the
impact of the Treaty of Versailles.
While the Reichswehr had no real loyalty to the democracy, they tolerated the new system as they
possessed a fear of instability and the threat of the extreme left. General von Seeckt, Commander in
Chief of the Reichswehr from 1920 to 1926, made decisions based on the Reichswehr's best
interests rather than what was asked of the democratic state. He refused military assistance in
putting down the right–wing Kapp Putsch in March 1920, declaring "Reichswehr doesn't fire on
Reichswehr". There was a significant chance that the Weimar Republic could have been overtaken if
not for the call for a general strike, signed by Ebert and SPD ministers. On the other hand, the army
were ruthless in dealing with left–wing attacks, particularly during the Spartacist uprising. The
army's right–wing tendencies became apparent through the Kapp Putsch.
Moreover, the right–wing Beerhall Putsch in

The post WW1 militaries had to make immediate changes in their postwar organization in order to
increase their effectiveness and readiness. For example, the German army developed mechanized
and amour units called Panzer divisions, which during the WW2 crushed their opponent armies. In
addition, they focused on redesigning the officer core in order to be more innovative and have
critical thinking skills. After invading Poland, the Germans made AAR, and made immediate
organizational changes and created the Squads as a more effective unit. The Soviet Union made
quality AAR from the WW1 and other so–called Small Wars before the Great War and used the
gathered experience to make peacetime innovation into their military organization in which they
developed motorized and mechanized units. Furthermore, militaries were focused on aviation and as
an example is the development of air force as an independent and their use in combined–armed
concepts, which was initiated by Giulio Douhet, an artillery officer who realized the importance of
Air power. Giulio added the airpower component as an asymmetric piece that will change the war
and forced the idea that to have command of the air it means that it will achieve victory. The US
developed and organized amphibious units to conduct "Plan Orange" which was developed during
the interwar period, and during the Banana Wars, in which they practiced their technology, TTPs and

"Operation Fortitude is a go," Commander Patton said. Many people wonder what type of tactical
tricks did the unit use and how they knew about it. Actually, the U.S. army got these ideas of the
plan of deception from The first President of the United States: George Washington. Washington
practiced deception as an art rather than a science. Now the Ghost army was using this "Art" to fool
the Germans ("Ghost Soldier magazine"). The art of tactical deception was their best skill. They
wanted to mislead the enemy forces that were going to fall for the tanks and the fake attacks that
they were presenting. The commander of the unit had to assign the recruits positions so that each
designer and artist would know what to operate: the speakers manipulating gunshot sounds and
explosions or the inflatable tank balloons meant to deceive the enemy into thinking a real unit was
closeby. The commander created a group called the "Effect group," and they would be operating the
important equipment in the operation ("Ghost Army Tricked Hitler"). What exactly, though, did the
Ghost Army do on the battlefield? One soldier, Jack Massey, commented, "We were told we were
going to be using inflatable equipment to try and fool the Germans into thinking that we were a real
army, when we were in effect, I suppose, a rubber army" (www.npr.org). They are all set and ready
to go into action, they start their journey through the woods and into a field. Now the army is now

Germany 's Mobilization For World War I
On August 14, 1914, the German Reichstag commenced to make known that the German civilians
should unite and defend their own country. They announced a "civil peace" which meant that all
previous conflicts or issues would be set aside for the duration of war. They also began the
mobilization for World War I. When the emperor first declared the policy in 1914, the people were
joyful and in awe. By 1915 and 1916, the people's views shifted from being optimistic to opposing
war because war caused them to overwork and was the source for the food shortages; the
government lost many of their supporters as a result. To end, in 1918, civilians from both sides who
was either opposing war or supporting it affected the German population because of their different
opinions which led to the defeat of Germany in World War I.
Most people in Germany supported the emperor's idea of "civil peace". The other people who
disagreed were forced to agree whether they like the idea or not. In August 1, 1914, German
Emperor Wilhelm II gave a speech at the royal palace in Berlin filled with a crowd of 40,000 people.
Wilhelm II desired to unite the country by telling his people that "all that matters now is that we
Germans stand together like brothers" (Doc 1). The speech that he conveyed rallied up the Germans
to hope for the unification of their country by standing up together as brothers to help unite
Germany. Wilhelm II's view of a "civil peace" was supported by an abundant amount of civilians.

Book Report: All Quiet On The Western Front
All of the years following World War I, half of the world was anti– war. When soldiers enlist into
the army they are never told the truth. Being a witness to a close friend in the army or to a family
member actually fighting in World War II they didn't think they would actually be fighting in a war.
Guys and Girls normally enlist into the army for the money and the benefits, thinking that they will
eventually come home to their love ones. When the soldiers signed up and experienced a war both
sides were screaming they wanted to go home and they would never go through this again. The
German leaders promised these soldiers that the war would not continue no longer than a couple of
months. The teenage boys that entered the war thought that they were fighting for their country. The
peace terms came to an end and the war became brutal. Erich Remarque started his book off with a
statement "This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure,
for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it" (Remarque 1). Remarque was

Hoth's Army: The Rise Of The German High Command
The German High Command had to wait for the orders from Hitler to launch the attack. Hitler was
waiting for the arrival of the new Panther and Tiger tanks to reinforce the army. This wait was at a
cost however, because the Soviets were able to capture a German soldier who told the Soviets that
the German attack was to be launched on the morning of July 5. The Soviets bombarded the
Germans all through the night of the 4th, until an abrupt end at about 4:30 am. Field Marshal Walter
Model's 9th Panzer Army in the North and General Hermann Hoth's 4th Panzer Army in the south,

General Zhukov launched a major counter–offensive codenamed, "Operation Kutuzov", which was
launched against mainly the Northern German forces. On July 13, Hitler ordered for General Hoth
to move his forces back to where the germans started at before the battle. In response to this, on
August 3, General Zhukov launched another Operation codenamed, "Rumyantsev". This Operation

In World War I, Russia was the biggest army in the world with 1 400 000 soldiers. The number got
to 5000 000 when it fully mobilized. However, they could not arm all their soldiers because of the
lack of supplies. They only had 4600 000 rifles. The Russian Military consisted of 115 infantry and
more than 38 cavalry divisions. Their power came from the resources of 25 million men of combat
age. During the whole war, almost 15 million people served the Russian Army and the casualties
was about 1.8 million people died, 2.8 million wounded and more than 2.4 million were taken
prisoners.

After winning the Eastern Prussia, the Russian military was preparing to attack Berlin. The Russian
artillery was effectively used because they were put inside giant fortresses with powerful guns. The
Russian military spent a lot of the funds to develop the fixed artillery instead of the moving artillery.
In 1906, 700 million Roubles were used for the fortress guns development and only 113 million
roubles were spent for field artillery. The Mosin Ngant and Variants are two very popular rifles in
the Russian military during World War I. The Mosin Nagant had a special design that allowed its
bold to retract more effectively, so the soldiers did not have to clean after multiple shots. It has the
standard 7.62 mm round so that the Russia did not have to make more various size of ammunition.
The Mosin Ngant was known as the most popular and effective rifle in the Russian army during the
war. Beside the rifles, the Russian military also armed their men with powerful pistols with the
Nagant M1895, which became the standard side arm for the Russian soldiers during the World War I
and even for Red Army in World War II. The pistols is a very useful weapon in the battlefield as a
secondary weapon because of its small size. The Russian were weapons master, they were not only
famous of making rifles, but also good at developing the mortars, which gained extreme advantage

Throughout history, notorious and creative people have used illustrations and paintings to play on
people's emotions. One of the most famous examples of this was during World War I, with the use of
propaganda posters to increase nationalistic feelings towards one's own country. Through the mass
production and creativity of the posters, many young men enlisted in their nation's army to protect
and support their country throughout the war.
This first poster (see Figure 1) was used by Germans during World War I; on the bottom part of the
poster there German writing which translates out to, "It is essential that the last blows achieve
victory! Subscribe to the War Loan!" This is simply saying that, "in order to finish off the war, you

This represents that the very well–dressed man is hiding in the shadows from the war; that he is
trying to hide himself from the war altogether. On the other side of the window, there is light outside
that has several lines of marching soldiers, with the American Flag flying right above them. Having
the American flag flying above these soldiers, gives the sense that they are heroes for going to fight
this war. Having the well–dressed man inside and the marching soldiers outside shows the viewer
that the men who stay home and tremble in fear of the war do not deserve glory. On the other hand
the soldiers that are outside deserve glory.
Finally this last poster (see Figure 3) was used for English propaganda. In the background there is a
burning building and two lines of soldiers. The lines of soldiers could represent two things: one
being that the British army is much smaller compared to Germany's. The second is that in the line of
soldiers, there appears to be a few empty spots which could correlate to the question at the top of the
poster that asks, "WHO'S ABSENT?" and then asks another question at the bottom which is, "Is it
you?" These two questions are directed at British men (usually between the ages of 18

Zusak as the author, demonstrates Liesel as a thief to compare her with other rebellious Germans.
Throwback to the book Arrival On Himmel Street, death has written "Her knees entered the ground.
Her moment had arrived. Still in disbelief, she started to dig. He couldn't be dead. He couldn't be
dead. He couldn't–" (23), these words indicate the similarities between Liesel and many other
Germans during the period. As we all have known, during World War II, many German families has
to suffer from separation. Childrens are separated from their parents, siblings are supported by each
others. Just like Liesel, many in the time were departed from their parents on their way to their
foster parents. Unfortunately for some of them, their siblings, who share the same journey with them
cannot make it to the destination. Not only Liesel shares faiths with the rebellious German who are
affected by the World War II, she is also experiencing the same feeling that they are sensing. They
are all angry, they are in disbelief, that their loved ones have left them behind in the lonely world.
Correspondingly, in the book The Woman With The Iron Fist, Issa has spoken "This is what I have
to put up with, these rich bastards, these lazy swine..."(43). These words have spoken for the

clearly see the spark of rebellious. Although these words were not directly from Liesel, we all know
that "Who

War Horse: Hope In World War I
War Horse: Hope in World War I War Horse is an emotional, yet uplifting film that portrays the
relationship between a young man and a powerful horse during World War I. In Devon, England, a
farm owner named Ted Narracott purchased a horse at an auction to plow a field in his farm.
Unknowingly, he bought the horse at an unreasonable price. Because he and his family had to work
on the farm to suffice a profit, Ted asked his son Albert Narracott to train the horse to plow. After
Albert and the horse created a close bond, Ted had to sell their horse to pay off their house and farm.
The horse, Joey, was sent to the British military to be used as transportation during the beginning of
World War I. Joey was passed onto a British commander, who promised Albert that his horse ...
After a failed attempt at a charge against German soldiers, the commander was killed, but Joey was
still alive. Joey was then taken by the German side to be used as carriage. Two young German
soldiers named Michael and Gunter later used Joey to escape the German army, and hid inside of a
windmill. When the German soldiers searched the area, they found the two brothers and killed them.
Although the brothers were killed, the horses remained in the windmill, and Joey was amongst them.
The Germans later reacquired the horses, which were temporarily used by a young woman named
Emilie and her grandfather. Later, Albert enlisted in the British Army, and fought in the Battle of the

The Tactics Of The German Army
The strategy of the German Army was very simple. The Germans knew that the Soviets were
making their move into Berlin. The Germans had decided to bunker down and fight to the death for
the city of Berlin. The Germans had decided that it would take about two hundred thousand men to
defend the capital of Berlin. The two hundred thousand that were to guard Berlin was comprised of
mostly women, older men, and younger children. The German army was aware of the amount of
Soviet forces that were planning to attack Berlin, and built a strong defensive position in order to
counter the Soviet offensive. The Germans constructed trenches, barricades, and other protection
measures to ensure their stronghold in Berlin. This became the final preparations for the city and
waited for the Soviets advancement. The Soviets knew the key to success in large battles by using
major firepower in order to eliminate the enemy. Field Artillery was a key factor in this strategy by
providing the massive barrages into the city and taking down supply planes and closing supply
routes. The Soviets planned the attack about sixty miles out of Berlin and knew that the German
troops were hurt and undermanned so they used this to its advantage. The soviet forces strategically
placed around Berlin and gave orders to attack from the different positions. Soviet intelligence
reported that they outnumbered the Germans men, equipment, and aircraft. The Moltke Bridge was a
vital landmark in ensuring the defeat of the

The German Army During the Interwar Period Essay
Possibly one of the most asked questions in military history is how was the German Army able to
decisively defeat a numerically equivalent Allied Army in France during May and June 1940? One
of the primary reasons for Germany's success was their innovation in armored warfare, particularly
at the tactical and operational levels during the interwar period. The study of the German Army
during a period of prolonged peace and constrained resources reveals that one of the most important
qualities that a military should possess to innovate effectively is the ability to learn as an
organization. A learning organization creates knowledge internally, externally acquires knowledge,
and diffuses knowledge throughout the organization . ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Internal creation of knowledge and innovation also requires organizations to critically examine their
operations, and replace practices that do not work. General Von Seeckt produced a generation of
officers that were open to the idea of learning from their failures. Throughout the interwar period,
German officers routinely conducted after action reviews as a tool for open discussion. The ability
to identify failures served the German Army well after their first major combat operations since
WWI in Poland. The senior leadership recognized that although their doctrine and tactics were
sound, the campaign was not perfect. Their primary area of concern was that the maneuvering of
unwieldy armored formations overwhelmed inexperienced leadership, thus preventing them from
taking the initiative needed to leverage tactical advantages. During the seven months prior to the
invasion of France, the senior leadership focused on developing leadership especially at battalion
level and below and reorganizing armored formations to maximize their mobility and lethality .
Learning organizations not only look internally, but they also look at external organizations to gain
knowledge as a base for innovation . The German Army unable to possess tanks under the Versailles
Treaty developed armored tactics effectively by extensively studying British armored development
and exercises during the 1920s drawing out their own lessons learned. The Germans already with a
firm grasp of

The German Stereotype Of The United States
The German Stereotype in the United States?
As we covered in our workshop America has had a large population of Germans for a very long
time. While we were discussing German immigration and emigration, the question that stuck out to
me was how did the views of the other groups in America effect how the Germans were accepted
and viewed in the United States. Different times and issues have changed how Germans were
viewed in America, for example both world wars and the following strong anti–German stance.
While these times of strong emotion often change people's outlook, I would argue that the positive
or more neutral impression of German immigrants compared to other immigrant groups, helped
Germans settle in America. While times of strong emotion often change people's outlook, German
immigrants with their slightly positive or more neutral stereotypes or ideas, helped Germans settle in
America with fewer problems than other immigrants.
In our class and in other media outlooks we have often seen the stereotypes that immigrants are
placed in and how these can be especially damaging in the move to the United States. These
immigrants are uprooting their old lives for a new world and work. So it would have to be hard to
get off the boat or ship and have all of these expectations piled on top of a confusing new country
with strange traditions. Life was often hard in the United States and not quite what many immigrants
expected but breaking free of others stereotypes of their

Patton had done some things that leaders should not have done and that is what had sent him on his
downfall at the end of the war. One thing Patton had done was she slapped two different soldiers
while in the army, both of which had occurred in 1944. ON August 3rd, 1944 during the Sicily
campaign Patton was visiting the field hospitals to hand out Purple Hearts. While doing so he saw
that one soldier had no physical injuries and ask them why they were there. The soldiers response
was stress and that it was too much for him. For this have being the soldier's response Patton
slapped him for having an excuse not to be fighting while his comrades are being shot dead. This
had caused an uproar among his army and eventually reached Eisenhower who had not done
anything yet. Then seven days later Patton was doing the same thing when he came across another
soldier in the hospital with the same excuse as the first. Patton ended up responding the same way as
he did with the first. This time when the news had reached Eisenhower he had to punish one of his
best commanders for his actions. Because of this Patton had been put on leave from the service as
his punishment. From this Patton was unable to serve in the D–Day invasion and even more
traumatizing for him was that he was even going to be the general that was going to lead the
invasion also. Another thing that Patton had done while being in a commanding position was that he
would openly speak about his opinions of the Russians. Patton had predicted that after the war
Russia and America would go into a war against each other to see who was the better power. This
did not help with the unity of the Allies because Patton would just do whatever he had wanted. The
slapping incidents and Patton speaking his mind had help further Patton on his path of eventual

The Diversity Of Washington County
The diversity seen in Washington County was in fact unique and although there is no short answer to
why so many different European ethnic groups settled in the area, there are many plausible
explanations as to the origins of their settlements. It is important to highlight the role of European
immigrants as a whole in the United States before focusing in on Washington County. During the
first fifty years following the American Revolution, very few European's immigrated to the United
States. Following those years, Europeans begin to immigrant in large groups for various geopolitical
and economic reasons. Typical plains settlers were farmers in search of prime farm land that they
could be the soul owners of. In most cases, European immigrants wanted to own land, and were
unable to do so in their previous countries. Washington County was similar to the overlaying theme
of immigration to the Great Plains. Washington County's location in respects to Kansas City was a
major driver for its diverse population. Many immigrants were able to travel via train to Kansas
City, or if they took wagon, their goal was to reach Kansas City. With Washington County being
relatively close to Kansas City, immigrants would flock to the area. With the Oregon trial running
through the area, many European immigrants stayed in the region during the latter half of the
nineteenth century. Furthermore, in the early nineteenth century, the area was seamed with roads
converging towards Santa Fe, yet no

The Pros And Cons Of The Schlieffen-Moltke Plan
Although critical for the German war plan, the Schlieffen–Moltke plan was kept a secret to the
public, and even staff members of the German Imperial Army. Moltke kept the Schlieffen Plan a
secret throughout his service in the army. Even close staff members, such as General Gerog Graf
von Waldersee, admitted they had never actually seen the blueprints for the plan. (Ehlert, 90, PPed).
A reason that Moltke wished to keep the Schlieffen–Moltke plan a secret was for the reason of
altering it if needed without objection from his staff members. Other commander's opinions may
have helped find a better strategy, as well as counter–arguments to flawed areas of the plan.
Surprisingly, Moltke did not tell Schlieffen about the changes he had made to his plan. However,
Schlieffen found out about his changes and questioned Moltke's leadership out of spite. (Ehlert, 97,
pped). Moltke's strategy was flawed and caused crucial problem's during the deployment of the
Schlieffen Plan. However, he had the power to get away with it. "Due to his close relationship with
the Kaiser, Moltke was able to exercise political pressure and to influence the decisions of the
civilian government. His fear of what the future held for Germany was infectious, and Chancellor
Bethmann Hollweg, in particular, was a victim of this dark vision of things to come." (Mombauer,
420, 1999). Moltke had the ability to control the actions of the German military without resistance
from his staff.

She rarely chose to speak to anyone, but this time she approached the Leonard and the globe,
looking down upon it with burning hatred.
"Some day, we'll make those Nazi bastards pay for every inch of land they have taken." She didn't
seem to be talking to Leonard as much as to herself; a brief vocalization of a burning obsession.
Without even acknowledging the presence of any other human being in the room, she walked out
toward the kitchen, probably either to get a drink of water, or to find Eric, the group leader. Leonard
had always wondered why it was that she was so consumed by hatred for the Germans. Admittedly,
few people in the world had any real reason to love the Nazis, especially with them burning their
way across half of New England and in control of or allied with most of rest of the world. Still,
Christina's hatred seemed much more personal than pure patriotism; even those in the group who
had lost family in the invasion didn't show the level of unbridled hate she did.
The only clue she had ever given as to the source of her rage was one she never spoke. On the
extremely rare occasions that she was seen without a full sleeved shirt (an oddity in mid July),
Leonard had seen scars, almost like whip marks across her back. She had never spoken of them, or

Role Of Animals In Ww2
Animals in World War Two
When you think about WWII, you usually think of men, blood, and Adolf Hitler and his Nazi army.
What most people don't think about is the other type of soldier. The ones with four legs and fur.
These furry soldiers packed supplies, led troops through rough terrains, scouted for bombs, and
sometimes simply were pets. Whatever they were, though, they helped the world through rough
times with their strength and support.
Horses have always been good war animals, as well as camels, mules, and even elephants. At the
start of WWII, over fifty–six thousand horses and mules were in use by the U.S. Army. They carried
soldiers into battle and packed supplies over many miles. As war production increased, though, there
was less use for horse and mules. Instead, the army used mechanisms such as Jeeps and airplanes to
get around and do battle. However, their use in other countries stayed. Up until they got tanks, the
Russian Cassock Cavalry was one of the best in the world. The German Army used horses in guard
duty and battle. In their fight against Japan, the Chinese used horses very successfully against the
enemy.

It's important because it shows how much hard time they are having during the war and it teaches
you how people get hurt by war. In the war between Norway and German, children always have to
pull gold on the sled because Germans can take them. They carry more than 100kg. It will be really
hard. And by hurting, sure it can be like shooting gun hurting, but if our heart hurts, it really hurts.
Like with war, when people pass away, think about it. How will their family feel?? Really, really
sad. So I think like war, we shouldn't make it happen.
I was able to identify with Peter who was afraid at first to be the leader but later on he did a great
job. I strongly recommend this book because it is touching and it shows how children has done a
great job, with very responsible actions. I was very moved with Jan Lasek because even if he can
die, he risked his life for Peter. How touching and amazing is that?? I think I can't have done it. I
was inspired with Uncle Victor's idea. If children is around, who would think they are carrying a
gold?? It was a great idea. It taught me that if we really want something, they risk their lifes to. Like
for example, if my mother is sick, than I'll do anything to fix it. Won't you?
