Название: Osprey New Vanguard 221 - Gunboats of World War I Автор: Angus Konstam Издательство: Osprey Publishing Год: 2015 Формат: PDF Страниц: 48 Размер: 3,3 МБ Язык: Английский
Naval action in World War I conjures up images of enormous dreadnoughts slugging it out in vast oceans. Yet the truth is that more sailors were killed serving on gunboats and monitors operating far from the naval epicentre of the war than were ever killed at Jutland. Gunboat engagements during this war were bloody and hard fought, if small in scale. Austrian gunboats on the Danube fired the first shots of the war, whilst German, British and Belgian gunboats fought one of the strangest, most intriguing naval campaigns in history in far-flung Lake Tanganyika.
Название: Osprey New Vanguard 73 - M4 (76Mm) Sherman Medium Tank 1943-65 Автор: Steven J. Zaloga Издательство: Osprey Publishing Год: 2003 Формат: PDF Страниц: 48 Размер: 2,9 МБ Язык: Английский
The M4 Sherman tank was the mainstay of the Western allies between 1942 and 1945. Fast and modern it was a big success and was transported as far afield as Russia and North Africa. The American Chief of Staff claimed in November 1943 it was 'hailed widely as the best tank on the battlefield today…’. However, by the Normandy invasion of June 1944 this was not the case: the new German heavy tanks such as the Panther and Tiger were completely outclassing the Sherman.
Название: Hong Kongers in the British Armed Forces, 1860-1997 Автор: Chi Man Kwong Издательство: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0192845748 Год: 2022 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 288 Размер: 6,3 МБ Язык: Английский
Hong Kong has been caught between empires ever since the First Opium War (1839-1842). As a result, the study of Hong Kong history has been subjected to the influence of the empires that controlled or laid claims over it. The historical experience of the Hongkongers during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is unique, with Hong Kong as a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society, an international trading hub, and a geopolitically crucial British colony until 1997.
Название: The Kaiser's Merchant Ships in World War I Автор: William Lowell Putnam Издательство: McFarland Год: 2001 Формат: PDF Страниц: 260 Размер: 150,1 МБ Язык: Английский
Germany's merchant Marine fleet--the second largest in the world prior to 1914--played an unintended but decisive role in that nation's defeat in World War I. There were those ships that went to war for the Kaiser on the high seas, those that stayed at home or otherwise played no significant part in the conflict, and those which were commandeered (mostly in 1917 and by the United States) and used against Germany.

In the early morning of January 1, 1945, as the Battle of the Bulge smoldered to an end, the German Luftwaffe--assumed to be starved of fuel and fighting spirit--launched a massive, surprise, low-level strike on Allied airfields throughout France, Belgium, and Holland, an operation code-named Bodenplatte. More than 900 German aircraft took to the skies and attacked the vulnerable fields, destroying 200 Allied aircraft and damaging 150 more. In a pyrrhic victory, the Luftwaffe lost 271 fighters, with many more damaged, and 213 pilots--irreplaceable losses at this stage of the war.
