New Forest Background

It was the place were they had great success against the French people in the beginning of the war. The Germans also selected it because it was easy to hide troops in the hills which they did at the first major offensive. Hitler code-named this attack as the “watch am Rein” The Americans the area were in a thin line because they wanted to give support to the flank were the attack was expected so they thought.

The Eighth bomber command was part of the Army Air Force and was re-designated as the 8th air force in February of 1944. The command took the headquarters to England in early 1942 once they were activated to conduct aerial bomb runs over Nazi-occupied Europe. During World War II the 8th AF became the greatest air armada in the history of the Army Air Force.1 It was commanded by great Generals such as Jimmy Doolitle and produced one of the most famous planes, The Memphis Belle.

In the first week of April, we were ordered to move sectors. We moved from our quiet sector, near Fluerbaix, on the French-Belgian border to the Ypres Salient. The Ypres Salient was a bulge in the allied line on the Flanders plain,

During World War II this island was heavily defended by twenty three thousand Japanese troops in an elaborate system of underground tunnels. This island also served as an early warning station for allied bomber raids and provided a base for Japanese bombers to intercept the incoming bombers.

Wheeler Field, Schofield Barracks, Bellows Field, Kaneohe Naval Air Station, Hickam Field, and Ewa Field were among the other military locations attacked (p.76-79 WL). A few pilots from Kaneohe Naval Air Station managed to make it to the hangars, only to discover destroyed and damaged planes (p. 79 WL). While at Ewa Field all but 16 planes had been destroyed by 8:05, roughly just ten minutes after the attacks began (p. 80 WL). At Wheeler field getting the planes off the ground was all but impossible, they were under attack, the planes were too close together, and many had no fuel (p. 250 SW). They and other bases were prepared for sabotage, not an attack (p. 250 SW). By 8:30 all of the planes at Wheeler were either destroyed or damaged (p. 109 WL). The situation was similar at the other bases and by the end of the attack a total of 347 planes would be damaged or destroyed (212

This paper will review the actions of American forces during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Upon the arrival of American forces to France in June 1917, an inexperienced combat force quickly transformed in just 15 months and abruptly ended the war after a 47 day campaign. They were led by General John J. Pershing, fighting against an experienced German foe who had been in battle for over three years prior to their arrival. The American forces involved consisted of the U.S. 1st Army, which was centered in the offensive and part of the overall Allied Expeditionary Force. French forces took part in the offensive to the west, British forces fought to the east. The offensive was named after the very thick Argonne Forest was to the west and

During World War II there were many battles that took place. One particular known battle was the “Battle of the Bulge” also known as the battle of Ardennes, from December 16th, 1944 to January 16th, 1945. It was the Last major German offense on the Western Front during WWII, and it was a futile attempt to push the Allies back from German home territory. This name was given by Winston Churchill, a description of the resistance he mistakenly supposed was being offered to the Germans’ breakthrough in that are before the Anglo-French collapse. The word Bulge denotes to the wedge that the Germans drove into Allied lines. This informative research of the Battle of the Bulge, focuses on the Field Artillery branch, its immense efforts in the battle,

“All factors seemed to point to the Ardennes as the place for the Germans to launch their last great offensive” (Schreckengost 50). Hitler secretly began moving manpower and equipment to Ardennes in order to strengthen the formations in the region. To further the secrecy, Hitler’s offensive was deceptively coined Wacht am Rheine (Watch on the Rheine) to ensure the Allied powers did not suspect an offensive.

Much of the fighting in World War One was done on small areas of land,

But, the aircrafts were eventually used for more than scouting ahead it later turned into a point of emphasis of where the war would take place. Using this source to support my thesis will help give a better understanding of what I will be writing about. I will be using this source to help the development of sub-points that I will be using in my research paper. The context of this source will help out on the claims and development of things I will discuss in my paper, and I will not use this document to disagree

The C-47 was the lead plane of the 37th troop carrier squadron, dropping elements of the 82nd airborne division near St. Mere Eglise, France in the early hours of June 6th, 1944. June 6th is formally known as D Day. The C-47 was very important to aviation or even the most important because over 13,000 planes were sold, it was one of the most successful cargo planes, every branch of the U.S military and all the major allied powers flew it during World War two.

In addition WASP, were handed commands to report to 120 air bases across the US. Missions included, towing targets, ferrying planes, training bombardiers,

Exit the King by Eugene Ionesco directed by Trey Irby in presentation with the Blue Masque was a complete production that felt well explored and executed. The play itself is a somewhat dark look into the fall of a king, his kingdom and final hours of his life. This much darker subject matter is balanced with comic relief provided by the guard, the maid and occasional banter of the king’s two wives. A well flushed out script that examines such a timeless struggle as the delicate balance of life and death poses immense challenge for those involved. While this challenge occasionally made itself known, the acting body as a whole did a fine job at overcoming these hurdles.

After watching a few episodes of my favorite show, Gravity Falls, I noticed a distasteful trait in one of the protagonists- Mabel Pines. In at least five different episodes, I witnessed Mabel force her brother, Dipper, to sacrifice things that he valued in order for her to possess things that she valued. The defining moment occurred whenever she ran away, after learning of Dipper’s possible internship opportunity, which required him to leave home. I was too angry to speak whenever the show’s conflict concluded with Dipper agreeing to not take the internship in order for Mabel to forgive him and come home. This ongoing conflict -due to Mabel’s seemingly helpless character flaw- made the show a little less pleasant to watch and has kept me from

Beyond a doubt we urgently need to address the devastating global issue of population growth in the United States America before we destroy our planet. We are facing many devastating economic problems, such as pollution, global warming, education, but the most critical is overconsumption. Overpopulation is a huge problem in the United States of America, which is causing us to run out of natural resources. The human race is already too large and is destroying the natural systems that support us. There are many solutions to this problem, but the common factor is controlling the human race. What can we do as a society to help contribute to controlling the population growth? “The United States is the most overpopulated country in the world”. (Ehrlich)
