the landing part of the craft, and it took two members of the crew to run. Fred Haise was the pilot of the lunar module, James Lovell spent most of his time in the lunar module alongside Fred Haise. (Grinter Kay) In 1962, the flight mode, and the lunar orbit rendezvous was selected for the Apollo spacecraft. After the failure of Apollo 13, the spacecraft was worked on, and had some changes happen to the spacecraft. The few changes added to the spacecraft were better wiring and an extra tank added

A detailed explanation of how intelligence assets could have been used to change the course of the battle will defend the explained alternative ending discussed. The main points of discussion will include Adolf Hitler’s decision to move most of his tank divisions and infantry units 150 miles north to Calais, the significance of the highly effective group known as the French Resistance and a famous illusionist Jasper Maskelyne. The Battle of Omaha Beach was known as one of the deadliest battles to

Survival Techniques: Getting back to earth on a life boat. After the No. 2 oxygen tank exploded, the three now stranded astronauts moved on to the new task at hand: getting back home from lunar orbit with the minimal resources and whole new procedures drawn out in a matter of hours. New burdens made this improvised trip home more perilous, including the now out of commission CM Aquarius that was dead weight and draining overall power. To prevent this, only minimal systems needed to be turned off

beaches. This landing was not only the biggest amphibious operation in history, but the most thoroughly planned and practiced (Ambrose, pg. 48). 170,000 soldiers prepared for this operation through months of practice, whether they were American, Canadian, or British. In attempt to cease the offenses, Hitler built the Atlantic Wall. The Atlantic Wall consisted of reinforced concrete forts, trenches, minefields, and anti-landing craft devices of all kinds, and it was backed up by panzer(tank) divisions

attack was an extremely dangerous operation. Besides the actual assault on the Nazi dominated Europe, the many miles of treacherous sea was all in all pretty dangerous itself. After the crossing, the assault craft carrying the troops were to seize the beachhead. The amphibious 'swimming' tanks had to come in on a tide 40 minutes after first light. A tide provided the minimum amount of light required by the attendant warships and warplanes to blow up Hitler's Atlantic coast defenses. They also needed

trips to the moon were not anticipated until the far future. The US was perceived to be behind the USSR in space exploration. President Kennedy changed all that. What questions were asked? President Kennedy on May 25th 1961 proposed a manned Moon landing in this special message

Sitting upon ammunition creates Col. Sanders smoked a cigarette. Looking up at the sky he thought to himself “ If this weather doesn't clear we won’t be hitting the beaches today my company ain’t going to like this.” “Colonel” pant…..pant “ We just got word that one of the big wheels called it in it’s about time to hit the beach.” Col. Sander slowly looked up, standing above him was Brooklyn nobody knew why they called him that, as far as he could tell he wasn't even from New York. “Hey Brooklyn

German Blitzkreig The Blitzkrieg was one of the most powerful weapons in World War II. Hitler used it to quickly defeat whole countries in a matter of weeks, before any defenses could even be thought of, much less deployed. Poland, Norway, and Belgium all fell before Britain had time to defend them. Later on, after D-Day, when the allies had massed great amounts of troops and combat weapons in France, the allies started there own blitzkrieg which quickly pushed the Germans back to the Rhine

enthusiasm he drove not only himself but his troops with no mercy: "He worked 20 hours a day; the men trained with live ammunition." (Microsoft Encarta) Eisenhower wanted this plan to work. His biggest fear was how to bring in enough landing crafts to open the attack to the Allies 8 divisions, as opposed to the German commander Rommel's 50 divisions. (Microsoft Encarta)      Omar Bradley (1893 - 1981), an American General, was chosen to lead the ground troops in

The purpose of this paper will be the battle analysis and evaluation of Operation Fortitude (code name for deception plan to invade France) in support of Operation Overlord (code name for the Battle of Normandy and invasion of German occupied France). The analysis and evaluation will be done using the intellectual standards and the elements of reasoning to provide an alternate outcome for Operation Overlord. An alternate outcome will be suggested based on the use of deception that results in the
