Erwin Rommel: Afrika Korps

Thus, this article can serve as a foundational text for the American perception of the German military and its tactics. Although the article focuses on a particular commander, the level of respect showed towards Brauchitsch reveals the writer’s understanding of the power of Germany. The modern connotation of the word (quick and hard striking maneuver warfare) as a form of military strategy is used and explained here by the author as if it is the official German military doctrine. Historians argue endlessly over the idea of an “origin” and it remains the same here. When was “Blitzkrieg” introduced to the American public? Was it invented by Western journalists to for sensationalism purposes or rather, German propaganda that was “swallowed up” by the Allied press? The author of the article seemed very educated in the concept of Blitzkrieg (if it indeed is an official military concept) and used appropriate language to emphasize the speed aspect of the tactic. Some phrases depicting Blitzkrieg included “a war of quick penetration and obliteration,” “Swift columns of tanks… plunged through Poland…broken down the Polish defenses before they had time to

Josef Dietrich’s leadership of the Sixth Panzer Army at the Battle of the Bulge revealed the characteristics of an unreliable General.

The purpose of this paper is to address how I, SSG Schumacher, have identified Major Robert Rogers as a legacy leader and a leader of influence in my military career as a non-commissioned officer and member of the military intelligence community. This paper will cover three main topics in which I will first discuss a brief history of the life of Major Rogers. Then, his impact on the evolution of warfare and leadership attributes on the United States Army. Finally, I will discuss how his leadership attributes led to him making an impact on the military today and Soldiers such as myself.

- British troops win at Battle of Camden, but soon the tables are turn by a valiant American effort at the Battle of King’s Mountain.

From a fiercely brave General, who strictly enforces customs, bravery, formalities, and success; to a General with a lighthearted-mood, down to earth attitude, a steadfast courage, and a integrity and decency to lead the nations of the world into battle; while both these legendary Generals fought on the same side, both General S. Patton and General D. Eisenhower were distinctly different Generals. This paper seeks to outline the differences and similarities between the two Generals by taking a close look at their lives, and the impacts they had on WWII.

In the early morning of October 10, 2015, the Heffeweissen troops were forced to arrange and arm themselves in the most ill prepared manner. Heffeweissen, where few of the soldiers were from, was a poor nation with a benevolent ruler—Landgrave Frederick XXII. In his attempt to compensate the nation’s depleted treasury, Landgrave Frederick XXII rented out thousands of soldiers to other national militaries—one of which was under Solomon Rex of Britain. Under General Rex, the soldiers, or Heffians, arranged themselves in a military formation of about twenty men. Despite, their substantial amount of manpower to support General Rex’s loyalist cause, most—if not all—of them were untrained for war, were inexperienced with weapons, and—above all—were insufficient in battle strategies.

After the invasion of Normandy, France by the Allies in World War II, the Allies pushed the German Army back towards Germany. For the Allies, the war looked to conclude by Christmas of that year, 1944, and to do so required a major push across Europe to Berlin. Operation Market Garden would the largest airborne battle during the war and would be led under Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery who was in command of the 21st Army Group. What was thought to be the final push into Berlin, Germany by the Allies proved to be wrong during Operation Market Garden. The Allies ultimately lost the battle and were forced to delay movement into Germany. The Battle of Arnhem was the most famous battle during Operation Market Garden, known as “a bridge too far”, where the British 1st Airborne Division, led by Major General R.E. Urquhart, and the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade were dropped in the Netherlands to secure the key bridges at Arnhem. Ultimately the mission failed for the British due to lack of resupply and reinforcements from the British XXX Corps on the ground. MG Urquhart did not demonstrate the steps in mission command, understand, visualize, lead and direct during the Battle of Arnhem, which also contributed to losing the battle.

The niqab dress wear has recently been controversial topic in Canada. The topic targets beauty and the body, and more precisely the topic of politicization of the body (which is the political status of the body) 1. The issue is due to its wear during citizenship ceremonies in Canada. The niqab however, is part of a much larger debate, than what is it given credit for. First of all, the niqab wear is not a formal sanction placed upon by religion as people may believe and is instead based on culture. Secondly, the wearing of the niqab is seen as a way of gaining control over one’s identity. Finally, wearing the niqab is a way to show freedom of expression to the world.

A few days after the victory at El Alamein, Operation Torch was launched which further ruined Rommel’s chance of victory in North Africa. The operation saw 120 000 strong Anglo-American troops land in Algeria and Morocco. This was significant in boosting the morale of troops showing that allied forces could co-operate and that allied forces can work together. With the introduction of the American troops came, the new war technology and weaponry, that had previously been in Germany’s favour.

A school’s main mission is to set up its students to succeed in the future. Almost everyone goes through the experience of school, but everyone experiences it differently. For me, I was fortunate enough to not worry about my education while growing up. For some, a good education is never a concern and these students do not have to worry about being prepared for the future. For others, such as the ones in Waiting for Superman, a good education does not come as easily. These students and families must struggle to obtain an education that sets students up for success. These families often end up in poorly managed public schools where their child receives a poor education due to their socioeconomic status. These

5. a. The main objective at the operational level for Operation TORCH is to isolate Rommel's Afrika Korps between Tunisia and the British Eighth Army to the east.

When someone mentions World War Two the first thing that comes to mind is probably D-Day or Pearl Harbor or maybe even Berlin, while the North African Campaign is often forgotten. Three of the notable campaigns that occurred in Africa at this time were Operation Torch, Operation Tunisia, and the Western Desert Campaign; These campaigns took place from June 10th, 1940 to May 13th, 1943. When talking about any war or great struggle, there are three things to know: who were influential figures of this struggle, what methods or types of warfare they used, and what were the important victories or defeats.

When Hitler and the Nazi party offered him a seat in politics, he declined and asked to command a tank division. He saw tanks as the next major player on the modern battlefield. Famous for leading from the frontline, Rommel could not accept running battles from a staff room, miles away. On the12 of February 1940, Rommel received his first field command over the 7th Panzer Division. While in command of the 7th, Rommel participated in the invasion of Poland, Belgium and France. The campaigns in Europe helped Rommel develop his employment of blitzkrieg tactics using combined arms. Although
