Название: Strategy and Command: The Anglo-French Coalition on the Western Front, 1915 Автор: Roy A. Prete Издательство: McGill-Queen's University Press ISBN: 0228006643 Год: 2021 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 432 Размер: 5,3 МБ Язык: Английский
Falling between the “War of Movement” in 1914 and the major attrition battles of 1916, 1915 was a critical year in the First World War. As France failed in ever-larger offensives to break through the German trenches, Britain shifted its strategy from defence of empire to total commitment to the continental war. In the second of three planned volumes, Roy Prete analyzes the political and military policies and strategies of Britain and France and their joint command relationship on the Western Front in 1915.
Название: Robert Ballard's Lusitania: Probing the Mysteries of the Sinking That Changed History Автор: Robert Ballard Издательство: Chartwell Books Год: 2007 Формат: PDF Страниц: 238 Размер: 111,2 МБ Язык: Английский
Of course, Dr Robert Ballard will forever remain the man who found the Titanic, but in this book he also provides the reader with an extremely well-documented account of the loss of the Lusitania. Mysteries are mysteries and whilst there are those experts which insist such and such happened, there will also be those who assert the opposite.
Название: 22 июня… О чём предупреждала советская военная разведка Автор: Михаил Алексеев Издательство: Алгоритм Год: 2021 Формат: fb2, rtf Размер: 10 Мб Качество: Хорошее Язык: Русский
Принятое Гитлером решение о проведении операций германскими вооруженными силами не являлось необратимым, однако механизм подготовки вермахта к боевым действиям «запускался» сразу же, как только «фюрер и верховный главнокомандующий вооруженными силами решил». Складывалась парадоксальная ситуация, когда командование вермахта приступало к развертыванию войск в соответствии с принятыми директивами, однако само проведение этих операций, равно как и сроки их проведения (которые не всегда завершались их осуществлением), определялись единолично Гитлером.
Название: Wartime Suffering and Survival: The Human Condition under Siege in the Blockade of Leningrad, 1941-1944 Автор: Jeffrey K. Hass Издательство: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0197514278 Год: 2021 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 440 Размер: 21,4 МБ Язык: Английский
During the 872-day siege of Leningrad from September 1941 to January 1944, civilians endured air raids, bread rations as low as 125 grams, food theft and speculation by opportunistic officials and shadow market traders, and death by starvation. As shocks of total war weaken institutions, desperate survival can compel violation of norms, and personal suffering can shatter long-held beliefs and practices.
Название: British Cavalry Standards Автор: Dino Lemonofides Издательство: Almark Publishing Год: 1971 Формат: PDF Страниц: 54 Размер: 20,2 МБ Язык: Английский
The general format of this book follows closely that of its companion, British Infantry Colours; for the sake of clarity, however, the coloured illustrations have not been kept at 54 mm as cavalry standards were relatively smaller than infantry colours. Again, for the same reason, the heavy background pattern of damask silk which is a feature of many standards has been omitted.
Название: Atlantic Convoys and Nazi Raiders: The Deadly Voyage of HMS Jervis Bay Автор: Bruce Allen Watson Издательство: Praeger Security International Год: 2005 Формат: PDF Страниц: 216 Размер: 11,8 МБ Язык: Английский
In November of 1940, the German pocket battleship Admiral Scheer attacked British Convoy HX-84. The Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS Jervis Bay, the only escort and mounting antique 6-inch guns, charged the Nazi raider. While the Jervis Bay did not stand a chance of surviving the battle, her crew's fatalistic bravery inspired awe in all who witnessed the fight. Watson describes how the Scheer's 11-inch guns turned the converted passenger liner into a burning hulk in twenty-two minutes, but most of the convoy escaped.
Название: Letters from the Few: Unique Memories from the Battle of Britain Автор: Dilip Sarkar MBE Издательство: Air World ISBN: 1526775891 Год: 2020 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 272 Размер: 16,4 МБ Язык: Английский
Fascinated by the Battle of Britain from an early age, as a young man Dilip Sarkar realized that recording and sharing the Few’s memories was of paramount importance. At the time, back in the mid-1980s, membership of the Battle of Britain Fighter Association was well populated and the then Honorary Secretary, the now late Wing Commander Pat Hancock DFC, OBE, supported Dilip’s research by forwarding letters to individual pilots of interest.
Название: Robert Ballard's Bismarck: Germany's Greatest Battleship Surrenders Her Secrets Автор: Robert Ballard Издательство: Chartwell Books Год: 2007 Формат: PDF Страниц: 244 Размер: 69,5 МБ Язык: Английский
Not satisfied with having found the Titanic, this great explorer of Oceans set off in search of what many people believe to be the greatest Battleship ever built - the Bismarck. Whilst we are treated, once again to excellent illustrations by Ken Marschall of the wreck itself, my own favourite series of images are across pages 218/9 and show the Bismarck sinking, how it turned upside down allowing the big guns to fall away from their mountings, how it then turned right side up as it continued it's voyage - 3 miles down, until it came to rest creating a massive underwater landslide.
