Eastern Front

The battle of Stalingrad, September 1942 to February 1943, was a crucial point of strategy for Germany and the central powers in World War II. Confusing matters was the recent entry of the United States following Germany’s declaration of war in support of its Japanese ally. The new Anglo-American Allies stated that their first priority was Germany. Hitler wanted to end the fighting on the Eastern Front, or at least minimize it, before the Americans had a chance to get deeply involved in the war in Europe. For this reason, Hitler chose to pursue the capture of Stalingrad because it would have expanded German rule into southern Russia and destroyed any form of transportation southern Russia had with northern Russia over the Volga River.1 Unfortunately…

supported by heavy artillery support. Bagration was very successful, by August 1944 the Red army had pushed the Germans back into Germany and had advanced all the way to the Polish border. Because of the victory at Stalingrad, the Soviets were able to mount a successful counteroffensive and defeat the German invasion. From here, the Red army would slowly fight their way into the German interior and eventually reach Berlin in January 1945. Emboldened by his successes, Stalin continued insist…

The Great War on the Eastern Front, looked at from the passage of one century, led to major transformations in the way in which the people of the region – from the Ottoman capital of Istanbul to the Arab provinces of the Empire - looked at themselves and at the world. What I propose to do is to see how the war and the fighting…

While many attribute the assault on Normandy beach, known to many as “D-Day,” despite the actual meaning of the term, had Germany held Normandy beach they still would have fallen. The Italian front had already been opened, and “Millions of enemy soldiers had been killed, wounded, or taken prisoner by the Red Army before D-Day.”1 The Nazi armies were weakened from various assaults into the USSR, and only a fraction of the allies forces would have been lost. The only effect would be that the war…

in anti-Semitism on the homefront in the second half of the war. It had become increasingly respectable to connect food profiteering and ‘Jewishness’,” (Hagemann, pg. 130)This included protecting the ethnic cleanliness in Germany and surrounding areas. Controlling the wild “uncivilized world” of Eastern Europe was a prime motivation of war. In going to war Germany implemented an economy of exploitation. This means a majority of their workforce was foreign and domestic slave labor. With this…

To fully test prolactin’s effect and to be releastic on the survival age of the average bird, we chose a younger participant. The 10 control groups and two sets of 10 experimental groups will each be given their own aviary with appropriate sized nest boxes for each pair. The housing size of each box is 5〖 1⁄2 〗^ ' ' x 4^ ' ' x 8 3⁄4 ' ' and…
