Book review on The Great Escape
This book review summarizes Paul Brickhill's book "The Great Escape", which tells the true story of a mass escape from a German prisoner of war camp during World War 2. While only 3 prisoners ultimately reached freedom in England, the escape disrupted German forces and led to 50 prisoners being murdered on Hitler's orders. The author was imprisoned at Stalag Luft III and was a member of the organization that planned the escape. His firsthand account vividly describes life in the camp and the planning of the elaborate escape tunnel. The leader of the escape, Roger Bushell, is portrayed as a captivating figure who did everything possible to resist the Nazis, even escaping twice before.

A City That Had To Die ...
The uprising in Warsaw ended on October 2, 1944 after 63 days of warfare. The capitulation contract secured combatant rights for about 15,000 AK soldiers, including 2,000 women and 900 officers who were transferred to prison camps. Over 650,000 civilians were evacuated from Warsaw through camps and forced labor in Germany. After the capitulation, Germany carried out Hitler's plan to destroy Warsaw, resulting in 58% of buildings being totally destroyed and 17% being partly destroyed, with 90% of historic buildings destroyed.
Chapter 11 - Armed Resistance
Armed resistance took place in several Nazi death camps and ghettos. At Treblinka, 400 prisoners escaped after stealing weapons from an armory, killing 20 Germans. In Sobibor, 300 prisoners escaped after killing an SS man and triggering a revolt. At Auschwitz, 500 prisoners briefly took control after exploding a crematorium, but all were killed. The largest uprising was in the Warsaw Ghetto, where the Jewish Combat Organization fought back against the SS over multiple attacks before being defeated.

John Cairncross, a member of the notorious Cambridge Five spy ring, played an important role in assisting the Soviets by passing them highly classified British intelligence on German plans and new weapons for the upcoming Battle of Kursk. This information, derived from codebreaking at Bletchley Park, tipped off the Russians and helped them prepare effective ambushes that led to heavy German tank losses on the first day. As a result of their weakened forces after three weeks of battle, the Germans were never able to launch another major offensive on the Eastern Front.

Stalingrad: An Examination-of Hitler's Decision to Airlift, by Professor Joel...Professor Joel Hayward
After February 1943, the shadow of Stalingrad ever lengthened ahead of Adolf Hitler. The battle for that city had ended in disastrous defeat, shattering the myth of his military "Midas touch," ending his chances of defeating the Red Army, permanently damaging relations with Italy, Rumania, Hungary, and other allied nations, and, of course, inflicting heavy losses on his eastern armies. More than 150,000 Axis soldiers, most of them German, had been killed or wounded in the city's approaches or ruins; 108,000 others stumbled into Soviet captivity, 91,000 in the battle's last three days alone. (Although Hitler never learned of their fate, only six thousand ever returned to Germany.) The battle has attracted considerable scholarly and journalistic attention. Literally scores of books and articles on Stalingrad have appeared during the 50 years since Stalin's armies bulldozed into Berlin, bringing the war in Europe to a close. Most have been published in Germany and, to a lesser degree, Russia, where the name "Stalingrad" still conjures up powerful and emotional imagery. Comparatively few have been published in the English-speaking world, and this is understandable. Because no British, Common wealth, or American forces took part in the battle, they can number none of their own among its many heroes, martyrs, prisoners, and victims. Moreover, although the German defeat at Stalin grad was immediately seen in the West as a turning point, its effects were not directly felt by the Anglo- - American nations. The main focus of Stalin grad historiography, including the dozen books published in 1992 and 1993 to commemorate the battle's 50th anniversary, has been the fighting, encirclement, suffering, and destruction of Generalfeldmarschall Friedrich Paulus's Sixth Army. Few books and articles have devoted adequate attention to the activities of the Luftwaffe, although it made substantial contributions to all battles throughout the 1942 summer campaign—of which Stalingrad was the climax—and it alone was responsible for the maintenance of Sixth Army after Marshal G. K. Zhukov's forces severed it from all but radio contact with other German army formations. Even fewer works—and none in English—have analyzed in depth Hitler's decision to supply the forces trapped at Stalin grad from the air, even though this decision led to the destruction of those forces after the Luftwaffe failed to keep them adequately supplied.

2) It provides details of a 1958 incident where the Soviets shot down a US C-130 surveillance plane near Turkey, killing all 17 airmen aboard, after luring it into Soviet airspace with false signals.
3) Over 40 US reconnaissance aircraft were shot down during the Cold War period from 1945-1977, though news of these incidents was never reported to avoid publicity around secret surveillance missions.Facts You Never Knew About World War 2
The document provides historical context about several notable German soldiers from World War 2, including their accomplishments and statistics that contradict the portrayal of the war in Hollywood films. It discusses Michael Wittmann, Hans-Ulrich Rudel, and Eric Hartmann, highlighting Rudel's record of destroying 519 Soviet tanks and Hartmann's 352 aerial victories, making him the top fighter ace of all time.

This document summarizes three of the worst maritime disasters in history - the sinkings of the Wilhelm Gustloff, General Steuben, and Goya. Each disaster resulted in a loss of over 3,500 lives as the overcrowded ships, carrying thousands of civilians and wounded soldiers as refugees from the advancing Soviet forces, were sunk by Soviet submarines near the end of World War 2. The Wilhelm Gustloff sinking in January 1945 caused at least 5,700 deaths, while the General Steuben in February 1945 and Goya in April 1945 resulted in the loss of 3,500 and nearly 7,000 lives respectively. These little-known events contributed to the massive suffering of German civilians during the final months of the war.

This document provides summaries of 20 World War 2 aviation paintings depicting various scenes from aerial combat between Allied and Axis forces. The paintings depict events such as the Battle of Britain, the bombing of Germany, submarine attacks in the Atlantic, and the Battle of Midway. They show aircraft such as Spitfires, Hurricanes, B-17 bombers, Focke-Wulf 190 fighters, and Japanese carriers being engaged in combat throughout the European and Pacific theaters of World War 2.
The Battle Of Britain
The Battle of Britain was a key air battle during World War 2 fought between the British Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe from July to October 1940. It was the first major military defeat for Nazi Germany. Though the Luftwaffe inflicted heavy losses on the RAF during the campaign, the British were able to continue defending their airspace thanks to brave fighter pilots. Hitler's decision to shift the Luftwaffe's targets from RAF airfields to bombing London gave the RAF time to recover. By mid-September the Luftwaffe had failed to gain air superiority over Britain, forcing Hitler to postpone the planned invasion of the UK. The British victory provided a crucial turning point in the war.
America at War (Part II)
The document summarizes key events and decisions around the Allied invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch) in 1942. It discusses the Allied leadership agreeing on the invasion after Churchill opposed invading Western Europe. Eisenhower was appointed commander. The Allies landed in Morocco and Algeria against some French resistance. Their goal was to reach Tunisia before German forces. This opened up the Mediterranean for further Allied operations and ultimately led to the invasion of Sicily and Italy, weakening German and Italian positions.

303 Squadron
- 1. 303 Squadron Polish aviators, who stayed away from their contury
- 2. The most of aviators fought against Germans before, when they protected Warsaw and France. The squadron officially began on 2nd August 1940, but their first victory happened on their training flight on 30th August 1940. All people in squadron were Polish, except the Czech one - Josef Frantiśek.
- 3. The airplanes used by 303 Squadron
- 4. Some of the members of 303 Squadron Zdzisław Krasnodębski Witold Urbanowicz Zdzisław Henneberg Jan Zumbach Stanisław Karubin Kazimierz Daszewski Josef Frantiśek Kazimierz Wunse
- 5. Goals In time of the Battle for Britain the Polish aviators was almost recognized as unbeatable. The Aliants gave them score of shooted 126 German planes, but this score wasn’t right, it was too high. One of English historian was said, that 303 Squadron shot 44 planes, so they are on 4th place in number of shot of Alies squadrons. But, ,,303” had the worst planes of all Alies squadrons. Their planes were older, had less steerability, the worst armored. Killed on the Battle for England Polish RAF Luftwaff
- 7. End of squadron „Never in the history of wars so many did not owe so many to so few” - said Winston Churchil (then premier of Great Britain) about Polish pilots. But on London parade of victory in 1946 none of Polish squadrons were invited, excluding ,,303”, but they decided not to come.
- 9. Interesting facts Today the tradition of the 303 Squadron continues 23rd Tactical Air Base in Mińsk Mazowiecki.” The custom of flyers in ,,303” was wearing a scarled scurfs. Many Englishmen were not satisfied with the presence of Poles in the army, which they did not hide and showed their disgust. However, when the news spread about the country's victories, they gained a social status equal to at least the pop stars, and men, often those who protested before accepting the 303 Squadron to the RAF began to tear women into a crippled Polish accent. Usually with weak effects, but the intent is what counts.
- 10. Further fate of pilots Officially, the squadron was dissolved in 1945, December the 11. The Poles could not return to their homeland because the current authorities considered them to be criminals and were ready to arrest or even "clean up quietly". Therefore some of the pilots decided to emigrate, some of them would train young RAF pilots.
