The Siege of Bastogne took place in Germany in the year of 1944. Also known as the Battle of the Bulge. The reason it was called the Battle of the Bulge was due to the Germans built a bulge, or a wall to block things, and pushed through the American lines. It was fought between American and German forces. The battle took place in the course of seven days from December 20th to the 27th. The Germans gained access to American lines and began to impersonate them. Which made it difficult for the…
occupied territories of Europe. On August 22, 1941 a massacre took place in the Ukraine that might seem unimportant, almost insignificant in the face of the other killings that had already taken place in the war except for one detail; the killing order came from Wehrmacht Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Reichenau, not from an SS official. This essay will explore how General Reichenau’s directive to massacre the Jewish children at Belaya Tserkov was a watershed event in the Final Solution by…

(Gallipoli.gov) Lieutenant General von…
In his 1945 biennial report to the U.S. Secretary of War, Chief of Staff George C. Marshall inscribed, “In good conscience this Nation can take little credit for its part in staving off disaster in those critical days. It is certain that the refusal of the […] Russian peoples to accept what appeared to be inevitable defeat was the great factor in the salvage of our civilization” (107). The resolve of the Russian people was tenacious and unequivocal; undeterred by the callousness, destructiveness…
Supply chains that are complex are commonly modeled as linear programs (LPs). They can effectively trade off broad range of criteria. To model FMCG supply chains accurately, one must include discrete aspects of decision making, which requires solving a mixed-integer program (MIP). It has become significantly important for managers, given the widespread use of linear models today, to be able to develop good, efficient models to aid them in the decision-making process. Three important factors;…
Many events made Hitler very successful in exporting war and terror. With little to no resistance from major European power, and the United States, primarily staying out of the conflict the Nazi regime easily infiltrated much of Europe and the Soviet Union. Had the Ally forces stepped up early in the war, it may have saved millions of innocent lives and countries from German control.

tools as they give us the ability to develop and nurture our management capabilities in a controlled environment. This is achieved through our ability to attempt a real-world process or system knowing we can go back on mistakes that have been made in order to better familiarise ourselves with the situation which lead to better results in any future runs. However, simulations do have a downfall in that they are merely just a representation of reality and participants may show more negligence…
Inside the Aquarium, by Viktor Suvorov, is a spy novel that tells the story of his personal rise and fall of being a GRU officer during the Cold War.
