Note that the hull mounted MG34 machine gun has been removed. After the destruction of the German military units in the Falaise Pocket, the surviving soldiers and their vehicles and horses made a dash for the Seine River in late August 1944. Several bridges were intact after repeated bombings, and the Allied divisions were severely depleted after two months of combat operations and unable to bring sufficient forces to prevent their escape. SS Abteilung 101 received fourteen Tiger IIs in late July and early August. As the Germans retreated into Germany, they engaged Allied forces in a defensive role, in which they excelled. On August 23, SS Abteilung 101 supported the 18th Luftwaffe (Air Force) Field Division in an attack on Guitracourt. Tiger II 104's commander, SS-Oberscharfuhrer Sepp Franzl (Squad Leader, or Warrant Officer) was the 1.Kompanie Headquarters Squad Leader. On August 29, Franzl's tank was hit by shellfire in the suspension near Magny-en-Vexin. Unaware of the damage, the crew engaged a British anti-tank gun in a barn at Aux Marais. When the Tiger II sharply turned to move away, the suspension failed, immobilizing the tank. Franzl and his crew bailed out. French Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur (Forces of the Interior), irregular bands of resistance fighters, observed the crew and fired when they bailed out. Sources vary on whether two crewmen were killed or made it back to German lines. A Sherman tank commanded by a Sergeant Roberts of A Squadron, 23rd Hussars, 11th Armoured Division, came across the tank and fired on it. German tanks would sometimes "play dead" to ambush Allied armor, so any German tank was fired upon. Roberts reported the engagement and was given credit for the kill. The abandoned tank was left in the field until December 1944. Frozen in place, gasoline fires were required to move it. The damaged suspension also proved problematic for the recovery crew. The tank was taken to the Bovington Proving Grounds in January 1945. Until 2006 the tank was on private display at the Royal Defense Academy in Shrivingham, Oxfordshire. Then it was returned to the Bovington Tank Museum for renovation and possible return to running condition. <br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggZriykiI6kOr4vokgCDL-y0NeZX9fmftBOWOhG2txJTOHx-x_vO4t3DEfVPlTHZTgxyDaThz7S4QDZLRpNp1NwGRJuiIHgpNg8DzFVUAPDRWuMMWXoBO9D4JSiKWyZH2EbKzx_d6cCHP6d42H5RBxTMcmd9Tkb3J356Wgs6ADRb8J2WdEor_JBrGfow/s5212/Tiger_II_(production)_%E2%80%98104%E2%80%99_(35808215973)%20bovington%20king%20tiger%20koenigstiger%20konigstiger%20museum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3475" data-original-width="5212" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggZriykiI6kOr4vokgCDL-y0NeZX9fmftBOWOhG2txJTOHx-x_vO4t3DEfVPlTHZTgxyDaThz7S4QDZLRpNp1NwGRJuiIHgpNg8DzFVUAPDRWuMMWXoBO9D4JSiKWyZH2EbKzx_d6cCHP6d42H5RBxTMcmd9Tkb3J356Wgs6ADRb8J2WdEor_JBrGfow/w640-h426/Tiger_II_(production)_%E2%80%98104%E2%80%99_(35808215973)%20bovington%20king%20tiger%20koenigstiger%20konigstiger%20museum.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Source :<br />https://www.themodellingnews.com/2018/07/tmn-on-tour-bovington-tank-museum-tiger.html<br />https://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii0150<br /><p></p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-6294923983035318392023-03-26T11:32:00.003+07:002023-03-26T11:32:52.836+07:00Abandoned Königstiger of schwere Panzer-Abteilung 506<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsyQI8meKbe1O55AZcMoxZzv1a3uk-JY10bDe0Lbed6NksE75QRf_nZkaunQlxzBko_V97kAoxvS4f4vztpPjmU5gjQ9UMwnbQAP93Ctestd3muHpRzDk-gZKkYncNva8am2zj7GjjlqZwhnPezpictOE9eGxmIZ-_WYWsjIdQl_o-n7JwRWE0oDApTg/s2126/Abandoned%20Tiger%20II%20of%20Schwere%20Panzer%20Abteilung%20506.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1663" data-original-width="2126" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsyQI8meKbe1O55AZcMoxZzv1a3uk-JY10bDe0Lbed6NksE75QRf_nZkaunQlxzBko_V97kAoxvS4f4vztpPjmU5gjQ9UMwnbQAP93Ctestd3muHpRzDk-gZKkYncNva8am2zj7GjjlqZwhnPezpictOE9eGxmIZ-_WYWsjIdQl_o-n7JwRWE0oDApTg/w640-h500/Abandoned%20Tiger%20II%20of%20Schwere%20Panzer%20Abteilung%20506.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

</script><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Image size: 2126 x 1663 pixel. 1.2 MB<br />Date: Thursday, 18 January 1945<br />Place: Villers-la-Bonne-Eau, Luxembourg<br />Photographer: Unknown<br /><br />An Abandoned Panzerkampfwagen VI ausf B (SdKfz 182) Tiger II or Königstiger (Bengal Tiger) of Schwere Panzer Abteilung (Heavy Tank Battalion) 506, Sixth Panzer Army, is inspected by American soldiers of the 137th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division. Note the Tiger II's 88mm (3.46 inch) locked in the recoil position, destroyed by the retreating crew. The 35th Infantry Division was rushed into the area to stop the German offensive around December 20, 1944. On December 28, the Division had fought their way to Villers-la-Bonne-Eau, near Bastogne, attempting to relieve the 101st Airborne Division and elements of the 10th Armored Division. By December 31 the 137th Infantry had lost two companies captured by the 1st SS Panzer Division, attempting to retake the village after Bastogne's relief. The 137th had lost 200 men killed or captured. On January 10, the 137th retook Villers. The 506th was the only Heer (Regular Army) unit equipped with the Tiger II, as opposed to the Waffen SS Abteilungs in operation in Belgium. The unit had only operated Tiger tanks, and for the Ardennes Offensive, a fourth company, Schwere Panzer Abteilung Hummel, was attached operating Panzerkampfwagen IV ausf E Tiger Is. On January 17, 1944, as the Sixth Panzer Army retreated from American breakthroughs around Bastogne, the 506th was forced to abandon two Tiger IIs and one Tiger I. While individually superior to any Allied tank, the Tiger II consumed considerable resources and was yet another tank type that a strained German quartermaster corps had to supply with fuel, ammunition, and spare parts. The Tiger II had a range of only 90 miles (145 kilometers). In its rush to combat it suffered from mechanical reliability defects; most Americans saw abandoned, not destroyed, Tiger IIs. This was a blessing for the Americans, whose M4 Sherman medium tanks and M10 Wolverine tank destroyers, both armed with 3-inch guns, could not penetrate the 180mm (7 inch) thick frontal armor. Only the M36 Jackson, with a high velocity 90mm gun, could stop a Tiger II, and only at a range within that of the German tank. All of the American tanks and tank destroyers had armor that was easily defeated by the Tiger II's 88mm KwK 43 L/71 main gun. The Americans counted on their superiority in artillery and air power to destroy Tigers. <br /><br /><br />Source :<br />https://ardennes-breakthrough-association.com/tiger-ii-03-abteilung-506/<br />https://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii0149<br /></p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-30282741823782727252023-03-20T20:10:00.003+07:002023-03-20T20:10:48.251+07:00Abandoned "Porscheturm" Königstiger of s.Pz.Abt.503 in Normandy<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiFjGdIctg-PzhqqW535tMZo4Bp0YgRkvGxd0i3rH89oICZx_fJLe1iJOE8cO30xwbUpanZfKXEH8yRxFvGWl2Q-3rDYtbJ1bOWYXIzAn-7wb0qZAgjQVCxSIh7uXQ_hetfs6JGY4q1hir3cCFwikye72BRmOhmR_Oi2EVCj17nQVUooysJ82OVUqnTg/s1600/abandoned%20koenigstiger%20in%20normandy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="964" data-original-width="1600" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiFjGdIctg-PzhqqW535tMZo4Bp0YgRkvGxd0i3rH89oICZx_fJLe1iJOE8cO30xwbUpanZfKXEH8yRxFvGWl2Q-3rDYtbJ1bOWYXIzAn-7wb0qZAgjQVCxSIh7uXQ_hetfs6JGY4q1hir3cCFwikye72BRmOhmR_Oi2EVCj17nQVUooysJ82OVUqnTg/w640-h386/abandoned%20koenigstiger%20in%20normandy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

This Tiger II of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 503 was abandoned by Leutnant Rambow's crew during the Normandy Campaign. Rambow was leading two Tigers through Beauvais when one threw a track on the Rue Antoine Caron. The crew of the other Tiger started repairs when the British 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards of the 8th Armoured Brigade entered the town and fired on the disabled Tiger. The crew fled and made it back to German lines. Leutnant Rambow fought the British to Amiens, where he ran out of fuel and ammunition. His crew set fire to the vehicle, causing the suspension to settle. Note missing outer road wheels.<br /><br />In 1941, Doctor Porsche was contracted, along with Henschel und Sohn, to design the Tiger II tank. Porsche's design used more copper wiring, which led to the adoption of the Henschel design as the production Tiger II on November 11, 1942. Porsche was so sure that his design would be accepted he had ordered Krupp to begin production of their turret for his design; fifty were completed when the contract was canceled. Henschel began designing the new Tiger II, but to move the project along, the Porsche turrets were fitted to the new Henschel design. These tanks were issued first to Schwere Panzer Abteilung 503. Twelve Porscheturm (Porsche Turret) Tiger IIs and two Henshelturm (Henschel Turret) Tiger IIs were issued between May 1944 and June 1944, when Panzer Abteilung 503 left for Normandy. The Porscheturm Tiger IIs had a stronger turret because of the curved surface deflecting anti-tank rounds, but a shot trap caused rounds that hit under the curved gun mantlet were deflected into the driver's compartment, killing the driver and the radio operator. However, most Tiger IIs were not lost to Allied tanks; artillery and fighter-bombers were the chief combat losses of Tiger IIs. More than that, the Tiger II suffered from poor road performance and its heavy weight caused French and Belgian bridges to collapse. More Tiger IIs were lost to mechanical breakdown than in combat. Of the twenty-six Tiger IIs Panzer Abteilung 503 was issued during the Normandy Campaign, only two survived.<br /></div><br /><div><br /><br />Source :<br />https://maquettes-missiles.blogspot.com/2018/04/le-char-super-lourd-maus.html<br />https://www.modellismopiu.it/modules/newbb_plus/print.php?forum=8&topic_id=24606<br />https://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii0152<br /></div>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-67666479204622200422023-03-12T11:40:00.001+07:002023-03-12T11:40:06.544+07:00Flight Deck of USS Yorktown After Being Hit by the Japanese<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh3fUIUcn1MeYX2qNLca5rJXPl5uR8YIq4KYgahDyxKrVSdv2xZgSK-6pYtZG4YY1sf02grHE2ExhYQ0cvWlltL2J_jgjmIbL2iDr1sBqc3h7H0ACZII8NjWKEmuB_zbxSGp2gS9uXBfec3T2BWEBOhwTAvkKFXpYauKd21nBeS9_vf15O2LpkdbZKbg/s3000/Abandon%20Ship%20Given%20on%20USS%20Yorktown.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2107" data-original-width="3000" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh3fUIUcn1MeYX2qNLca5rJXPl5uR8YIq4KYgahDyxKrVSdv2xZgSK-6pYtZG4YY1sf02grHE2ExhYQ0cvWlltL2J_jgjmIbL2iDr1sBqc3h7H0ACZII8NjWKEmuB_zbxSGp2gS9uXBfec3T2BWEBOhwTAvkKFXpYauKd21nBeS9_vf15O2LpkdbZKbg/w640-h450/Abandon%20Ship%20Given%20on%20USS%20Yorktown.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Men are preparing to abandon ship. Island's port side is at right, with the curved supporting structure for the Primary Flight Control booth at top. Knotted lines in the foreground were apparently used to evacuate the island's upper platforms. The planes which scored torpedo hits were shot down either in passing the Yorktown or in attempting to pass through the fire of her escorting vessels. Not one of the attacking squadron returned to its carrier. By 1447 firing ceased. The Yorktown, listing heavily to port, was losing speed and turning in a small circle to port. She stopped and white smoke poured from her stacks. The screening vessels began to circle. Inside the Yorktown all lights had gone out. The Diesel generators were cut in, but the circuit breakers would not hold and the ship remained in darkness. The list gradually increased to 26 Degrees. Without power nothing could be done to correct it. The Commanding Officer and the Damage Control Officer thought it probable that the ship would capsize in a few minutes, and at 1455 orders were given to abandon ship. Inside, men clambered over steeply sloping decks in total darkness to remove the wounded. After an inspection on which no living personnel were found, the Commanding Officer left the ship.

Pilot Lieutenant John Soloc's engine was shot out as he came around to attack; losing power, he elected to continue the attack. As he delivered his bomb amidships, his wingtip and propeller struck the ship's mast. The hydraulics were shot out and the bomb bay doors could not be closed. Unable to gain altitude or speed, the A-20 crashed a few miles away. Soloc survived; his gunner, John L. Bradley, went down with the plane. After seventeen hours in the water, he was spotted by Lieutenant John P. "Jock" Henebry of the 90th Bomb Squadron. A US Navy Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina flying boat picked him up. Soloc was given a week's leave and returned to combat; he flew 61 missions by the end of the war. Taiei Maru, a 3,221 ton freighter operated by the Kuribayashi Shosen Kisen Kaisha (Kuribayashi Competitive Steamship Lines) was part of Wewak convoy Number 21 with Yakumo Maru and auxiliary subchasers Cha-47 and Cha-49. Two Consolidated B-24 Liberators of the 63rd Bomb Squadron, 43rd Bomb Group, 5th Air Force sank Yakumo Maru at 0230 Hours by radar; after sunrise nine A-20Gs of the 89th, with over 70 other Allied aircraft, attacked the convoy. An intercepted message from Imperial Japanese Army General Headquarters on March 28 reported all four ships sunk and notified 8th Area Army on Wewak that their supply convoys were suspended indefinitely because of Allied aerial supremacy. Wewak fell to the Australians on May 10, 1945.<br /><br /><br />Source :<br />https://sofrep.com/news/battle-of-the-bismarck-sea-skip-bombing-headhunters-and-swimming-lessons/<br />https://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1562<br />https://www.yokota.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1913795/100-years-of-3rd-wing-service/<br /></p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-23067336740673205522022-09-09T23:33:00.003+07:002022-09-09T23:33:49.455+07:00Luftwaffe Attack on Scapa Flow<p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjDak8ag6doEjJlo8T6tYRoawQCgwLyRQyrGW5vqxxfg2nNvsfPA4g1YxHUsAaZaJuR3j1RHzUr4LV27c1TIUswMeqhae23WH854WfETlv2g7pxuOELRmzm4MvETeuT6Z9BjSKcpVo13ez7vrBQIVWVSfaySv_dZXZw2barKSULr3V9RNBqQ70LuJ/s2048/Pilots%20of%20the%20'%20Kampfgeschwader%2030%20'%20after%20their%20flight%20in%20the%20mission%20'%20Scapa%20Flow%20'.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1388" data-original-width="2048" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjDak8ag6doEjJlo8T6tYRoawQCgwLyRQyrGW5vqxxfg2nNvsfPA4g1YxHUsAaZaJuR3j1RHzUr4LV27c1TIUswMeqhae23WH854WfETlv2g7pxuOELRmzm4MvETeuT6Z9BjSKcpVo13ez7vrBQIVWVSfaySv_dZXZw2barKSULr3V9RNBqQ70LuJ/w640-h434/Pilots%20of%20the%20'%20Kampfgeschwader%2030%20'%20after%20their%20flight%20in%20the%20mission%20'%20Scapa%20Flow%20'.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Fritz Doench (right), Gruppenkommandeur of I.Gruppe / Kampfgeschwader
30 (KG 30), discusses his unit’s attack on the Royal Navy anchorage at
Scapa Flow on 16 March 1940 at a press reception a few days after the
high‑profile mission, which, although alarming the British, did not
achieve its intended results. Doench, who would be decorated with the
Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 19 June 1940, is seen here pointing
at a map of the naval and airfield targets at Scapa Flow with
Oberleutnant Hunno Phillipps (left) of I./KG 26 and Oberleutnant Helgo
Magnussen of 3./KG 30. Phillipps was killed in action on the night of
19/20 November 1940 when his He 111 caught on a balloon cable and
crashed in southern England while on a raid to Birmingham, and Magnussen
perished when his Ju 88A‑2 crashed at Oudenrijn, in the Netherlands, on
10 May 1940. Gruppenkommandeur Doench himself was killed in an
accidental aircrash on June 14th, 1942. At that moment he was
Abteilungs-Chef in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium with the rank of
Oberst. The picture was taken by an unknown photographer from
Presse-Illustrationen Heinrich Hoffmann, and was first published by
'Berliner Volkszeitung' on 18 March 1940.<br /><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2gIT_fpGnV4ua7sjcdANrXnK1csn7rJY3fJTnlfTNvLeKXFzl23OB_VobdngM-79F9fJwWbNMs89R-jQj-O5JLdtg3las8UahaeAOpkuhgMKhlqB4U75y19aF-okgFaSveojmc290d8bt_Uw-IadiYxAzMbXCM9E1HBjOLSVf9SHCLFqZN4WZysD/s1092/Pilots%20of%20the%20'%20Kampfgeschwader%2030%20'%20after%20their%20flight%20in%20the%20mission%20'%20Scapa%20Flow%20'%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="1092" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx2gIT_fpGnV4ua7sjcdANrXnK1csn7rJY3fJTnlfTNvLeKXFzl23OB_VobdngM-79F9fJwWbNMs89R-jQj-O5JLdtg3las8UahaeAOpkuhgMKhlqB4U75y19aF-okgFaSveojmc290d8bt_Uw-IadiYxAzMbXCM9E1HBjOLSVf9SHCLFqZN4WZysD/w400-h176/Pilots%20of%20the%20'%20Kampfgeschwader%2030%20'%20after%20their%20flight%20in%20the%20mission%20'%20Scapa%20Flow%20'%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br />Source :<br />"Ju 88 Aces of World War 2" by Robert Forsyth<br />https://www.gettyimages.ae/detail/news-photo/pilots-of-the-kampfgeschwader-30-after-their-flight-in-the-news-photo/543893525<br />https://www.tracesofwar.com/persons/29057/Doench-Fritz.htm<br />https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/airwar-ww2-the-pilots.54010/page-60<br /></div>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-76814238596558138762022-05-22T17:20:00.004+07:002022-05-22T17:20:37.765+07:00Rommel Visiting the Sollum Front<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVyA-u31dJ4I9Bvskz4qNt4K05AROLAdf54j4FnLuUld0auyMp6MS6rD9nL7X1h2ji2UZEaE9o7a-h8RSw2VAtSfGqPOOmWjrb1arH_GFp4w7Ed1JE33-qCY37hQaJUArpn-UpPvPW8f2LA1LBv6i9fmUtl01R5eNX6T4kBaT-fZbFD5YMV1TFpeo8Fg/s1258/AFRIKA%20-%20FLAK-STELLUNG%20SOLLUM%20-%20GENERAL%20ROMMEL%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1258" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVyA-u31dJ4I9Bvskz4qNt4K05AROLAdf54j4FnLuUld0auyMp6MS6rD9nL7X1h2ji2UZEaE9o7a-h8RSw2VAtSfGqPOOmWjrb1arH_GFp4w7Ed1JE33-qCY37hQaJUArpn-UpPvPW8f2LA1LBv6i9fmUtl01R5eNX6T4kBaT-fZbFD5YMV1TFpeo8Fg/w458-h640/AFRIKA%20-%20FLAK-STELLUNG%20SOLLUM%20-%20GENERAL%20ROMMEL%201.jpg" width="458" /></a><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Panzertruppe Erwin Rommel (left, Kommandierender General Deutsches
Afrikakorps) made a visit to the headquarters of I.Bataillon /
Schützen-Regiment 104 / 15.Panzer-Division in the Sollum front, which is
on the border Libya-Egypt. During this visit, in particular "Der
Wüstenfuchs" (The Desert Fox) congratulated the commander of the
battalion, Hauptmann der Reserve Wilhelm Bech (walking at the forefront
with Rommel), who in the battle a month earlier managed to withstand the
British tank forces who were trying to break through the Halfaya Pass
in order to free their comrades who were besieged in Tobruk, in a mass
attack codenamed Operation Battleaxe (15-17 June 1941). For three full
days Bach and his men endured wave after wave of enemy tank attacks,
with only a platoon of Flak 88 cannons as their main weapon. Although
Rommel himself had ordered the Bataillonskommandeur to retreat to a more
adequate defensive location "if possible", Bach interpreted his
commander's last words in the opposite direction: a counterattack that
succeeded in repelling the British troops! For this phenomenal
achievement, Bach - who is a former priest (!) - was awarded the
prestigious Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on July 9, 1941, just a
week after this photo was taken. The Flak 88 itself was originally an
anti-aircraft gun, but it can be just as good when it comes to hitting
tank targets on the ground. BTW, in April 1941 - which was only one
month after Rommel arrived in North Africa - German forces managed to
defeat the invading British army and driven it out of Libya, except for
one stubborn ANZAC garrison which remained in the port city of Tobruk
(despite being besieged by a combined force of Italian and German
Afrikakorps). Over the next year, the re-capture of Tobruk became
Rommel's biggest obsession, because without it all German efforts to
conquer Egypt would be vulnerable. When the port city was finally
occupied in June 1942, a grateful Hitler rewarded Rommel with an
extraordinary promotion to Generalfeldmarschall.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxuHsrJb21ET4SCEDq1EF3i51SKEPYRhaYZ5BQy11Et6HARpcONYuVnLGrcXAgWnIEDSD4LRVytv6CT2g3QI8mP2PtzfEoJ9QV09vv3izIQCnNVbxqGVLVVU6t2PRm_6Zz74OOdJOaVPqkk1VAn2R0vNY0QVCWpmryMFRY8tfiWViWHADqzb77lMGwQ/s1483/AFRIKA%20-%20FLAK-STELLUNG%20SOLLUM%20-%20GENERAL%20ROMMEL.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1039" data-original-width="1483" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxuHsrJb21ET4SCEDq1EF3i51SKEPYRhaYZ5BQy11Et6HARpcONYuVnLGrcXAgWnIEDSD4LRVytv6CT2g3QI8mP2PtzfEoJ9QV09vv3izIQCnNVbxqGVLVVU6t2PRm_6Zz74OOdJOaVPqkk1VAn2R0vNY0QVCWpmryMFRY8tfiWViWHADqzb77lMGwQ/w640-h448/AFRIKA%20-%20FLAK-STELLUNG%20SOLLUM%20-%20GENERAL%20ROMMEL.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Source:<br />https://www.bridgemanimages.com/en/search?filter_group=all&filter_region=GBR&filter_text=Erwin%20Rommel</p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-25195429022672281062022-05-09T04:16:00.004+07:002022-05-22T17:06:30.837+07:00Dutch Military Motorcyclists during Parade<div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnQAFDSQLqwivRfM3iEHfbqrXBprxwn7BM7PI_L0-o7p-a-TL5CyegH1D0AZdOVx2B5dWQNOQZRp2jJA77nRo2T95pgVBC1Cki6Jkd91iLx4EKEmWKXk4KH7JovqhpolkTb36xusb30ec-DuJgfZJQyhnuJcy8z2oOsF4yNpZUcw-25SGYPIIFUcijag/s2500/Regiment-wielrijdeers-dutch%20motorcyclists.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1809" data-original-width="2500" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnQAFDSQLqwivRfM3iEHfbqrXBprxwn7BM7PI_L0-o7p-a-TL5CyegH1D0AZdOVx2B5dWQNOQZRp2jJA77nRo2T95pgVBC1Cki6Jkd91iLx4EKEmWKXk4KH7JovqhpolkTb36xusb30ec-DuJgfZJQyhnuJcy8z2oOsF4yNpZUcw-25SGYPIIFUcijag/w640-h464/Regiment-wielrijdeers-dutch%20motorcyclists.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

The timpanist belongs to the Hussars Motorcyclists Regiment. The picture was taken during the mobilization of the Dutch army and 10 days prior to the German invasion of The Netherlands. During the mobilization of 1939, both the 'Regiment Wielrijders' (RW) and the 'Eskadrons Wielrijders' formed war units. The number of infantrymen on the bicycle (but also on the motorcycle) was about 5600 men. In May 1940, both regiments of cyclists mainly fought in Dordrecht and the surrounding area. The squadrons of cyclists have distinguished themselves in the fighting around the 'Grebbeline'. The Dutch army confiscated many civilian motorbikes during the mobilisation in 1939. 'Anything goes' applied more or less, although according to the mobilization instructions the following brands were eligible: Indian, Harley-Davidson, Douglas, Gilette, FN, Sarolea, Ariel, BSA, Eysink, Excelsior, Simplex and Triumph.

These Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf.B type tanks were from the Panzer-Abteilung z.b.V. 40 led by Oberstleutnant Ernst Volckheim (1898-1962), seen here giving a military salute accompanied by one of his officer. Volckheim is dressed in a black Panzer uniform. The Universitetsplassen square is surrounded by buildings of the University of Oslo.. Ernst Volckheim himself went down in history as one of the founders of the German panzer force, apart from the more famous Heinz Guderian. From 1924 he had written on the theory of tank warfare, drawing on his experiences in the First World War as a member of the Imperial German Tank Corps. Ironically, the one who then received wider publication was Guderian, who had just written his masterpiece, "Achtung Panzer!", only in 1937! This is because it was the latter who introduced the armored unit to German leader Adolf Hitler, who was then so impressed by Guderian's presentation that he immediately said enthusiastically, "This is what I need! This is what I want to have!"<br /><br />The Norwegian "Aftenposten" newaspaper described the parade on page 2 in its evening issue on Tuesday 1 October 1940, as follows: "German armored vehicles parade on Karl Johan. Just before half past ten this morning, a large German military music corps marched down Karl Johan and lined up just opposite the University on the occasion of German armored vehicles parade for its commander, Colonel Volksheim. It was not long after the band had lined up, before people gathered along the curb to watch the parade. And on the University Stairs, a number of students had gathered, who had a short break between lectures. Before the parade itself, the units that were to participate were gathered on Tullinløkken and marched from there to their tanks, which were meanwhile parked in the side streets. Shortly after, the long wagon column came up in Karl Johan and passed over Drammensveien. When Colonel Volksheim had taken his place, the first tank passed the colonel a moment later, while the music played a military march. Armored car after armored car rolled past on its belts.

Fliegerkorps) in a formal picture with his family on Christmas Day of 1941. The mother of the children is Ruth Göldner - daughter of Generalleutnant Paul Göldner - who is 20 years younger than her husband. The couple had eight children, with the youngest being Volker Ramcke, who was born in 1952, a year after his father was released from an Allied prison camp. In the photo itself General Ramcke is wearing a Luftwaffe kleinerrock suit, with a bunch of medals pinned to the chest. Of course the most prestigious medal is the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes in his neck, which he got on August 21, 1941, four months before this photo was taken. Ramcke himself then completed his Ritterkreuz "collection" with three more of even higher tiers: Eichenlaub (13 November 1942), Schwerter (19 September 1944), and Brillanten (19 September 1944). The latter made him one of only 27 soldiers in the entire Wehrmacht and SS to have it! The couple's six children make the mother, Ruth Ramcke, eligible for the Mutterkreuz (Mother's Cross), a special medal bestowed by the German government on every mother who gives birth to five or more children, as a token of appreciation for their dedication and sacrifices in raising so many children.<br /><br /><br />Source:<br />https://twitter.com/x3892555/status/1220459234988646411<br /></p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-41977429924708654032021-12-25T00:10:00.001+07:002021-12-25T00:10:10.474+07:00Ritterkreuz Award Ceremony for Wilhelm Eggemann<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9D0odem0fJJ_B2dJOrexr8dznGnCry446llXF4bbiKKW_OzHAA7H611Ons6EEI-4lolD0I4ZY2mmgwQHj1-ssn2CLlDaIQiKP85dVU5N7cKBuO5dBP0HJoI_A-Bn8dODB0GXeRwuRS0yYgkCS8Ar5bW7j6pUwg3pQpDYqx9YYAy1k5uTBUqCqg2mifA=s4000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2660" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9D0odem0fJJ_B2dJOrexr8dznGnCry446llXF4bbiKKW_OzHAA7H611Ons6EEI-4lolD0I4ZY2mmgwQHj1-ssn2CLlDaIQiKP85dVU5N7cKBuO5dBP0HJoI_A-Bn8dODB0GXeRwuRS0yYgkCS8Ar5bW7j6pUwg3pQpDYqx9YYAy1k5uTBUqCqg2mifA=w426-h640" width="426" /></a><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

</script></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Image size: 1362 x 2048 pixel. 356 KB<br />Date: Tuesday, 20 April 1943<br />Place: Staraya Russa, Novgorod, Soviet Union<br />Photographer: Unknown<br /><br />Ritterkreuz
award ceremony for Major Wilhelm Eggemann (Kommandeur II.Bataillon /
Grenadier-Regiment 94 / 32.Infanterie-Division), which was held on 20
April 1943 at Staraya Russa, Novgorod, Soviet Union. The one draping the
medal on the right is Generalleutnant Wilhelm Wegener (Kommandeur 32.
Infanterie-Division), while the one helping to drape it in the center is
most likely Rittmeister Hans-Joachim von Koeckritz (Kommandeur
Aufklärungs-Abteilung 32 / 32.Infanterie-Division). In this photo,
Koekritz is seen wearing a schirmmütze (visor hat) with the totenkopf
crest on the front. This is because he is a former member of the
Reiter-Regiment 5, one of Germany's leading cavalry units with a long
history, which members - or former members - proudly displays the skull
symbol in their caps.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />Eggemann’s Ritterkreuz recommendation reads as follows:<br /><br />“During
the great defensive battle in the time period 26.02.-18.03.1943 the 32.
Infanterie-Division defended the area between Borossino and Lowat, with
its frontline facing southwards. In this time Major Eggemann and his
Bataillon (which was involved in all the major combat from the start and
had by now become badly depleted) were deployed to a thick, coverless
swampy area east of Koslowo. Following endless artillery fire of all
kinds the enemy struck against the front of this Bataillon on the
15.03.1943 with the support of tanks.<br /><br />On the morning of that day
an enemy tank-supported penetration on the left wing of the Bataillon
threatened to turn into a breakthrough. A Kompanie which had been
temporarily attached to the Bataillon was supposed to withdraw to the
positions of the heavy Pak in an orderly fashion. However it was instead
threatening to fall into confusion, and had lost contact with its
neighbours. The enemy sent in tanks and infantry through the extant
frontline gap. An enemy breakthrough seemed inevitable. Such a move
would seriously compromise the Regiment, which had by now used up its
last reserves. It would probably also make it impossible for the
Division to carry out its planned withdrawal to the Redja river during
the following night.<br /><br />In this situation Major Eggemann chose the
reckless and yet only feasible option given the circumstances. Using the
remnants of his staff and individual soldiers who happened to be in the
vicinity, he formed the core of an offensive group. He personally
dashed from squad to squad, directing the men of the left Kompanie and
compelling them to hold out. He also gathered up individual squads in
order to strengthen his own assault group. Now leading at the head of
this group, he threw himself at the head of the enemy. He did this
despite the exhausted state of his men and having personally been
wounded twice in this fighting. With his machine-pistol in hand he was a
model for his Grenadiers in the ensuing close combat. Along with his
assault group he was able to eliminate the battalion sized enemy force
that had penetrated the lines down to the last man. Two enemy tanks also
ended up destroyed behind friendly lines. This restored the old combat
situation, and the front could now be held until after nightfall, when
the planned withdrawal was commenced.<br /><br />This battlefield success
was achieved with energy, boldness and fearless devotion to duty.
Furthermore it was the prerequisite for the successful withdrawal of
friendly lines to the Redja position. Eggemann’s Bataillon enabled the
Regiment to carry out its withdrawal movement without leaving behind any
heavy weapons, equipment or ammunition in spite of the extreme
difficulties associated with the terrain.”<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYu6q3TMu41fIokfbIeH2Cx_y9nXawBbqYjsdI-DrJ6LF4VN4kY1BvkVacJYvTYPjnQWTA-0svgwGGxxcnJo2FdgplUiM2JSnP_zi6axMC8lZZA9eeX7Yg_2IgEZcIagEpgwH0I7iNxNjjjQrb2f2x1y19TDOhKi6-T3teMSA_x43-v5brFCV1oshQ=s2203" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2203" data-original-width="1580" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYu6q3TMu41fIokfbIeH2Cx_y9nXawBbqYjsdI-DrJ6LF4VN4kY1BvkVacJYvTYPjnQWTA-0svgwGGxxcnJo2FdgplUiM2JSnP_zi6axMC8lZZA9eeX7Yg_2IgEZcIagEpgwH0I7iNxNjjjQrb2f2x1y19TDOhKi6-T3teMSA_x43-v5brFCV1oshQ=w460-h640" width="460" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgtr084fYN3F0WIEGuZCfjPau8uJuzF_cCPb8D91xTBSfq5CcwIb5IMkC2-0v2UtCu1VOzWu_OzA_0bo7n1v5IWnBlVRUfBV0b9NIamzcrPm1QydpAEH2Pb--v0S1_MdIqYQXvn0TyvVNWq5oJN-lPlnMh29muP5pe2ly-5csRf2Qn29QP5cPY-XaRA=s1300" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1300" data-original-width="920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgtr084fYN3F0WIEGuZCfjPau8uJuzF_cCPb8D91xTBSfq5CcwIb5IMkC2-0v2UtCu1VOzWu_OzA_0bo7n1v5IWnBlVRUfBV0b9NIamzcrPm1QydpAEH2Pb--v0S1_MdIqYQXvn0TyvVNWq5oJN-lPlnMh29muP5pe2ly-5csRf2Qn29QP5cPY-XaRA=w452-h640" width="452" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br />Source :<br />Leander Haslerud photo collection<br />http://alifrafikkhan.blogspot.com/2013/07/album-foto-32-infanterie-division.html<br />https://www.tracesofwar.com/persons/3888/Eggemann-Wilhelm.htm<br />https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/1939-eisernes-kreuz-forum/minty-ek1-wear-105499/</p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-16684552914551074162021-12-19T18:35:00.003+07:002021-12-19T18:35:56.333+07:00German Panzers in Poland<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4_bu2FD4tWUtOvyweCPN44rcID4-SvZsk_rejrDYvMjK5eSqM_EEvxNgdsIzXKdbOiMyJJsOidkBpmL7w45_izPv0V8mjHUA24-PrO5paN0eUaJnc2Qcg4bpQVY_tj8VVt0bVkwU1htxczdiGBFaQ70Tb9HbaCqxK26Tpp0wUCgWFRKT11mqGxIU2rw=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1439" data-original-width="2048" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4_bu2FD4tWUtOvyweCPN44rcID4-SvZsk_rejrDYvMjK5eSqM_EEvxNgdsIzXKdbOiMyJJsOidkBpmL7w45_izPv0V8mjHUA24-PrO5paN0eUaJnc2Qcg4bpQVY_tj8VVt0bVkwU1htxczdiGBFaQ70Tb9HbaCqxK26Tpp0wUCgWFRKT11mqGxIU2rw=w640-h450" width="640" /></a><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

The 1st and third battalions converged from the east and west on positions east of the village of Kiyamu. While American casualties remained high across Okinawa as 32nd Army disintegrated, Japanese casualties increased from a few hundred to over 4,000 per day. The number of Japanese surrendering increased as well, from four per day at the start of the campaign to 343 on June 19 and 977 on June 20. 500 civilians also surrendered, overcoming fear of massacre at the hands of the Americans. Lieutenant General Mitsui Ushijima, commander of the 32nd Army, and Major General Isama Cho committed suicide at 03:45 Hours on June 22, the same day Okinawa was declared secured by US 10th Army. Scattered resistance continued until June 30.<br /><br /><br />Source :<br />https://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1125<br /></p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-41566696126057814802021-11-28T10:58:00.000+07:002021-11-28T10:58:16.874+07:00"Battleship Row" after Pearl Harbor Attack<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1uLfBhG-N40GfA9wwFm5stVoI-i_2QhyvYSwYlGrTu12B7kN3Op7X8KT6IE1qZZX6dpkxjetxmQQEZ_qOrq9E1yk2BHxgggF8_97ig7wAlChI-8Kka79n0j3cplG2rLDVJ2P84Sy8AoYD/s2048/battleship+row+pearl+harbor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1645" data-original-width="2048" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1uLfBhG-N40GfA9wwFm5stVoI-i_2QhyvYSwYlGrTu12B7kN3Op7X8KT6IE1qZZX6dpkxjetxmQQEZ_qOrq9E1yk2BHxgggF8_97ig7wAlChI-8Kka79n0j3cplG2rLDVJ2P84Sy8AoYD/w640-h514/battleship+row+pearl+harbor.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

USS Arizona (BB-39) is in the center of this view, burning furiously. To the left of her are USS Tennessee (BB-43) and the sunken USS West Virginia (BB-48). Men on the stern of USS Tennessee are playing fire hoses on the water to force burning oil away from their ship. She was hit by two bombs, which damaged two of her four gun turrets, and was scorched by burning oil from the sunken USS Arizona. In late December, after temporary repairs, Tennessee steamed to the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Washington, for an overhaul. West Viriginia was hit by two bombs and at least seven torpedoes, which blew huge holes in her port side. Skillful damage control saved her from capsizing, but she quickly sank to the harbor bottom. More than a hundred of her crew were lost. Salvaged and given temporary repairs at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, in April 1943 West Virginia steamed to the West Coast for final repair and modernization at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. The battleship emerged from the shipyard in July 1944 completely changed in appearance, with a wider hull, and massively improved anti-aircraft gun battery. Both battleships served as gunnery platforms for invasions throughout the war. Arizona's wreck was never raised and remains as a memorial to this day. <br /><br /><br /><br />Source :<br />https://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1367<br /></p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-86929784819851631232021-11-14T21:09:00.002+07:002021-11-14T21:11:56.140+07:00Radiogram "Air Raid, Pearl Harbor, This Is Not Drill"<div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzEFWk9KLkCpXwQWmdJF6AwwtVBFfb4zNSSImt1Ym5fJ6MM3n53Ykb9IXyjzcLtH0WVT48J7zOU_0ErG0plqwJBmE05KsVQjQBkuLpSRFml9dFCic5sPlJFQWAiHcaVYWnnH8ugFgfu3v/s2048/Air+Raid%252C+Pearl+Harbor%252C+This+Is+Not+Drill+dispatch+telegram.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1649" data-original-width="2048" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzEFWk9KLkCpXwQWmdJF6AwwtVBFfb4zNSSImt1Ym5fJ6MM3n53Ykb9IXyjzcLtH0WVT48J7zOU_0ErG0plqwJBmE05KsVQjQBkuLpSRFml9dFCic5sPlJFQWAiHcaVYWnnH8ugFgfu3v/w640-h516/Air+Raid%252C+Pearl+Harbor%252C+This+Is+Not+Drill+dispatch+telegram.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

The telegram is usually credited to Rear Admiral Patrick N. L. Bellinger (October 8, 1885 – May 30, 1962) Commanding Officer of Patrol Wing Two. However, the message may have been sent in his name by Lieutenant Commander Logan "Beauty" C. Ramsey Sr. In 1945, Ramsey reported to the Joint Congressional Committee on the investigation of the Pearl Harbor: "I saw, together with the staff duty officer, a single plane making a dive on Ford Island. The single plane appeared at the time to both the staff duty officer and myself in the light of a young aviator 'flathatting' (flying low in a reckless manner) and we both tried to get his number to make a report of the violation of flight rules. He completed his dive, pulled up and away. We were commenting together on the fact that it was going to be difficult to find out who the pilot was, when the delayed action bomb which he had dropped, and which we had not seen drop, detonated, and I told the staff duty officer, "Never mind; it's a Jap." I dashed across the hall into the radio room, ordered a broadcast in plain English on all frequencies, "Air Raid, Pearl Harbor. This is no drill." The detonation of the bomb dropped by that first plane was my first positive knowledge of an enemy attack." Additional reports came in from the Navy Yard and Kaneohe; some reports were discounted until the Japanese planes overhead and the smoke from the burning ships were visible for miles. Some variations of the telegram use "NOT" instead of "NO" indicating they may have been received from another source, or their was a morse code error. <br /></div><div><p></p><p><br /><br />Source :<br />National Archives and Records Ad 06339 (Other Identifier)<br />https://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1408<br /></p></div>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-70985394011710479292021-10-15T20:57:00.000+07:002021-10-15T20:57:01.273+07:00Luftwaffe POW Officer with British Sergeant<div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGTz067Xhv_O_4Wy97OArs2kODVR7h-ARPEsWh0EqugD3Ox9R4pbHrCDKXW70PoY2Zef629tBnCoVVikXNgZIDxgRHyQt0hlwxGUWViSq2bgyc_rRktEI3Ws0WxdvTLnvNXqwqwXRCjO3G/s2048/Luftwaffe+officer+down+stairs+british+sargeant+hugo+boss+pow+prisoner+air+force+german+soldier.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1449" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGTz067Xhv_O_4Wy97OArs2kODVR7h-ARPEsWh0EqugD3Ox9R4pbHrCDKXW70PoY2Zef629tBnCoVVikXNgZIDxgRHyQt0hlwxGUWViSq2bgyc_rRktEI3Ws0WxdvTLnvNXqwqwXRCjO3G/w452-h640/Luftwaffe+officer+down+stairs+british+sargeant+hugo+boss+pow+prisoner+air+force+german+soldier.jpg" width="452" /></a><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Malindine<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Luftwaffe Leutnant Heinz-Georg Möllenbrok (aged 20) was shot down in his Dornier Do 17Z-2 (U5+LL) of 3.Staffel / I.Gruppe / Kampfgeschwader 2 (KG 2) on August 16th, 1940, on his 20th mission and seriously wounded (his right hand was crushed in his attempt to bail out) during the raid on RAF Hornchurch, Essex. He was the victim of British Hurricane pilot, Frederick William “Taffy” Higginson of RAF No.56 Squadron. He is seen here disembarking from the Hospital ship ‘Dinard’, the guard is an intelligence Corps Sergeant and they are at Newhaven harbor in Sussex, United Kingdom, on October 6th, 1941. He and other seriously wounded German POWs were being repatriated to Germany via Sweden, but at the last moment Berlin decided to halt the exchange, as they weren’t happy with the disparity in the number of Allied troops expected to return from German POW camps, so he and the others had to return to their camps or hospitals. Although the German authorities agreed to the repatriation of 1,200 British POWs in September 1941, they cancelled the exchange when it was found that only 150 suitable Germans prisoners were available for return. Not until October 23rd, 1943, was a transfer of 5,000 British, Commonwealth, and American repatriates arranged. Heinz-Georg Möllenbrok himself was returned to Germany in October of 1943, and survived the rest of the war with the last rank as Oberleutnant, passing away at the age of 87 in 2007.<br /></div><div><p></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtW4ZiWSpYdln2J7-AyDpRo17Stilsyp33IShyphenhyphenuD3om6Zbc6y5X68H3AhP3R4HoH9uBSFHgh4rRNh1A3gKNtZAnS8rsCNTX80D8nWoM1KhnZQqYBJz4ox6vw3QOKUMuzvM-jAhO8DH0BX/s1170/Heinz-Georg+M%25C3%25B6llenbrok+wearing+a+Luftwaffe+DLV+and+NSFK+Glider+Proficiency+Grade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1170" data-original-width="722" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtW4ZiWSpYdln2J7-AyDpRo17Stilsyp33IShyphenhyphenuD3om6Zbc6y5X68H3AhP3R4HoH9uBSFHgh4rRNh1A3gKNtZAnS8rsCNTX80D8nWoM1KhnZQqYBJz4ox6vw3QOKUMuzvM-jAhO8DH0BX/w394-h640/Heinz-Georg+M%25C3%25B6llenbrok+wearing+a+Luftwaffe+DLV+and+NSFK+Glider+Proficiency+Grade.jpg" width="394" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leutnant Heinz-Georg Möllenbrok wearing a Luftwaffe DLV and NSFK Glider Proficiency Grade C badge on his tunic left pocket<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbUdGuKryqc1y73iO63Bwx_PBtb5phJ81J71HNTrmHzASIr2aKPuMeKLnjJAnccGYuKjdcDLb_wLSRKf95FvFfcMQgvS87UXu8iJBODPOyzvPOdGtZZO9bVwHm3vV7bivMdHPnZs6JEnp/s1000/M%25C3%25B6llenbrok+during+repatriation+at+Gothenburg+in+1943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="786" data-original-width="1000" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbUdGuKryqc1y73iO63Bwx_PBtb5phJ81J71HNTrmHzASIr2aKPuMeKLnjJAnccGYuKjdcDLb_wLSRKf95FvFfcMQgvS87UXu8iJBODPOyzvPOdGtZZO9bVwHm3vV7bivMdHPnZs6JEnp/w640-h504/M%25C3%25B6llenbrok+during+repatriation+at+Gothenburg+in+1943.jpg" width="640" /></a>Leutnant Heinz-Georg Möllenbrok during repatriation at Gothenburg in 1943<br /><br /></div><p></p><p>Source :<br />http://www.aircrewremembered.com/KrackerDatabase/?s=1200&q=heinz&__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=pmd_sufrpysviWpZTe2jYXj86s6_4MqGRG5N.xJQ4sIk_bU-1634306032-0-gqNtZGzNAmWjcnBszQQ9<br /> https://www.facebook.com/worldwarincolor/photos/6-october-1941he-thought-he-was-going-home-but-the-authorities-in-berlin-changed/1759838437479274/<br /></p></div>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-22543586115347551962021-09-04T17:50:00.002+07:002021-10-15T20:59:38.034+07:00Hitler Arrived in an Airfield in Poland<div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwXAcfuJbHEkE6LPBxcneI73I8JjJ7BP3lR20rbseR2L2whzmrruuSYLdYJELNk7SKW9WLpAA1YJ0CC5vE_fmCjHFJj-13gRPCz8MJxOa6I7-oW8OrSK7GO56S8DeiMIQvLclMza1vG-N/s2048/Adolf+Hitler+generals+Poland+1939+airfield+Rommel+Paulus+Reichenau+Keitel+Bormann.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1339" data-original-width="2048" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwXAcfuJbHEkE6LPBxcneI73I8JjJ7BP3lR20rbseR2L2whzmrruuSYLdYJELNk7SKW9WLpAA1YJ0CC5vE_fmCjHFJj-13gRPCz8MJxOa6I7-oW8OrSK7GO56S8DeiMIQvLclMza1vG-N/w640-h418/Adolf+Hitler+generals+Poland+1939+airfield+Rommel+Paulus+Reichenau+Keitel+Bormann.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

He made visits to the 8. Armee (General der Infanterie Johannes Blaskowitz) and 10. Armee (General der Artillerie Walther von Reichenau), as well as the German army headquarters in Grodjisk Mazowieki. After that he returned to Godentow-Lanz by airplane. The next day (26 September 1939 at 09:30 am), Hitler returned to Berlin boarding the Führersonderzug "Amerika". He arrived in the German capital at 17:05 in the afternoon. The Führer only returned to Poland again on 5 October 1939 to take part in the German victory parade. This photo was taken by Kriegsberichter Falk from Propaganda-Kompanie 367 (Ost) on 25 September 1939 in the area of 10. Armee, which located between Bzura and the Vistula River (facing west of Warsaw), and shows the moment Hitler had just arrived at the nearest airfield at Alexandrow.

SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division "Nederland" (niederlandische Nr. 1), surrenders to personnel of the US Army 405th Infantry-Regiment / 102nd Infantry Division at the River Elbe near Tangermünde Germany, 6 May 1945. The object hanging from Wagner's coat is a Flashlight, while the US Lieutenant-Colonel is Leroy E. Frazier from the Ozarks. Wagner was awarded the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes in July 1943 and Eichenlaub in December 1944. After his surrender he was later extradited to Yugoslavia for war crimes and executed in 1947. At the time of Wagner's surrender, his wife Martha and ten year old daughter Irene were living in Quedlinburg/Harz, then controlled by American troops. SS General Wagner mistakenly believed his captivity would be relatively short-lived and that he would soon be reunited with his family; a US Ninth Army Interrogation Center report dated 13th June 1945 stated, "PW is of the opinion that German generals and General Staff officers, including SS generals, will soon be released by the Allies, in the same manner as other PWs." Whilst Wagner was negotiating the surrender of his shattered command on the western side of the bridge at Tangermünde, his family were a mere two hours travel away. It is currently unknown if he ever saw his family again. In the photos we see one of Wagner's two trips to negotiate the surrender of the remainder of his command. A couple of days previously, On 25-26 april 1945, Nederland Division were engaged in defensive fights in the area Prieros-Selchow. Then they went with the remnants of 9. Armee in the "Kessel" of Halbe. Heavy lost : reduced to 300 into a Kampfgruppe "Wagner". On 29 april a small group with Divisionskommandeur could escape Halbe area and join 12. Armee at Beelitz. On 5 May they reached Tangenmünde were they surrended to US troops on 6-7 May 1945.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSJA7kDXTc4Qv0yOsvxndQi38zPg6szTEcEc_SnyZiD3qSny-pYPKhSp88SUvQsQsNtTPLielpID8wdmNY9K1iqwViV4UKfM_BZUwNesAtqfCsxnpPgrz_ujjVz6lnV9CscincuyK_vfEK/s1200/J%25C3%25BCrgen+Wagner+surrenders+to+personnel+of+the+US+Army+at+the+River+Elbe+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

</script><p style="text-align: justify;">Three officers of the III.Bataillon / SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 9 “Germania” / 5.SS-Panzer-Regiment "Wiking" stroll along a road near the Nurzec rail station on 22 July 1944 at the village of Nurzec-Stacja in eastern Poland. The tower shown in the background still stands in modern times. The three Wiking officers are, left to right: SS-Hauptsturmführer Friedrich Hannes (Chef 12.Kompanie), SS-Hauptsturmführer Helmut Schumacher (Chef 9.Kompanie) and SS-Hauptsturmführer Paul Scholven (III.Bataillon executive officer). The village had just been captured by the Germans that day and the fighting is over for now. Due to the presence of Scholven it may perhaps be that these men are on their way to a meeting with III.Bataillon commander SS-Sturmbannführer Paul Kümmel. The barefoot German Heer soldier is an officer of the Grenadier Battaillon z.b.V.("zur besonderen Verwendung" or For Special Employment unit) 560 which was established as a Bewährungs-Battaillon or a probationary battalion created for soldiers who had been convicted of minor crimes or disciplinary offenses. Presumably this officer had earlier been captured by the Soviets and stripped of his boots and uniform insignia.

</script><br />One of a famous set of photographs taken of the soldiers of 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend" in Rots just after their disastrous assault on Canadian-held Norrey-en-Bessin on June 9th 1944. The photo shows SS-Obersturmbannführer Max Wünsche (with his head bandaged), speaking to SS-Hauptscharführer Wilhelm Boigk and members of III.Zug / 15.(Aufklärungs-) Kompanie / III.Bataillon / SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 25. From left to right: SS-Unterscharführer Peter Koslowski (Adjutant III.Zug), unknown, SS-Obersturmbannführer Max Wünsche (Kommandeur SS-Panzer-Regiment 12 "Hitlerjugend"), SS-Oberschütze Klaus Schuh (soldat in 3.Gruppe / III.Zug), SS-Sturmmann Otto Funk (in the background, soldat in 3.Gruppe / III.Zug), SS-Hauptscharführer Wilhelm Boigk (Zugführer III.Zug), and SS-Hauptsturmführer Rudolf von Ribbentrop (Chef 3.Kompanie / I.Abteilung / SS-Panzer-Regiment 12 "Hitlerjugend"). The attack was undertaken by 12 Panthers of the 3.Kompanie / SS-Panzer-Regiment 12 with the 15th company of SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 25 in support. "After leaving Rots on the southern road, the 3rd kompanie tanks passed beneath the rail embankment via an underpass and turned right facing west towards Norrey. They planned to use the embankment on their right as cover northwards as they moved towards their objective. Speed had been stressed by Wünsche as the highest priority. The Panthers quickly left most of the infantry behind in the dust. As they passed a linesman's cottage and crested the hill, they began to take accurate 6 pounder fire from the Canadian positions in Norrey. They had planned for this, angling their tanks appropriately and keeping up their speed. What they hadn't counted on was a squadron of Sherman's including Fireflies which had, by chance, taken a detour on their way to their defensive position, placing them a few hundred metres north of the panthers. Canadian fire from the 6 pounders and machine guns from Norrey was intense, but when the Shermans opened fire from their perfect ambush position, the 3rd Kompanie's Panthers began to brew up with horrific consequences. Burning crewmen hurling themselves out of their machines anyway they could. The Firefly commanded by Lt. G. K. Henry of the 1st Hussars accounted for 5 Panthers in that engagement. His gunner, Trooper Chapman, accomplished that feat with only 5 shots! Minutes later, the accompanying infantry of 15/25th arrived up behind the Panthers to support them. It became immediately apparent things had gone horribly wrong. To make things worse, as the attack began to stall, accurate naval artillery fire from Allied ships off-shore began to fall along the length of the rail embankment. A retreat was ordered and a few of the 12 original Panthers were able to fall back. The wounded crewmen and panzergrenadiers crawled back along the embankment towards the cover of the underpass and back up the road to Rots. The photos were taken as the exhausted men got back to the village.”<br /><br /><br />Source :<br />http://alifrafikkhan.blogspot.com/2011/10/foto-12-ss-panzer-division-hitlerjugend.html<br />https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10158834881874890&set=gm.1114336335675141<br />http://www.historicalwarmilitariaforum.com/topic/11462-15-ss-panzer-grenadier-regiment-25/<br /></p>Alif Rafik Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01973819067645526071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369223362066176008.post-71915461850063421862021-02-07T19:15:00.006+07:002021-02-07T19:15:52.688+07:00Captured of General der Infanterie Ferdinand Neuling<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu2pDXKFVDk68N-7Hf5WSgHddUNqPDvtzZYXkSm722TfiKaYL09Jwzn-_DrW12jbZOSt2Cx-vsENWhDGJIBUsQ34nJFia8bhB6wxey1NdQ9Oph58r_oUBa2b4Pa7C_NIAMFtHbyOiIvA1z/s2048/Ferdinand+Neuling+pow+captured.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1633" data-original-width="2048" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu2pDXKFVDk68N-7Hf5WSgHddUNqPDvtzZYXkSm722TfiKaYL09Jwzn-_DrW12jbZOSt2Cx-vsENWhDGJIBUsQ34nJFia8bhB6wxey1NdQ9Oph58r_oUBa2b4Pa7C_NIAMFtHbyOiIvA1z/w640-h510/Ferdinand+Neuling+pow+captured.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Image size: 2048 x 1633 pixel. 183 KB<br />Date: Sunday, 20 August 1944<br />Place: Southern France<br />Photographer: Unknown<br /><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Official Caption: "Rome. 6/13/45--Captured German General reads--Maj. Gen. Ulrich Kessler, German Air Force Officer, reads a book written by an American as he sits in the galley of a U.S. Coast Guard ship after being removed from a German submarine which surrendered in the North Atlantic on May 13, 1945. The U-Boat gave up five days after Germany surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. The 16-ton enemy vessel, bearing several other German Air Force Officers as well as General Kessler and its crew, was intercepted by U.S. surface vessels and then escorted to Portsmouth, a port on the northeast coast of the U.S. The vessel was reported to have been en route to Japan. The bodies of two Japanese, who had committed suicide aboard the submarine, had been buried at sea.--PPA Photo--Serviced by Rome OWI (A List out). Approved by appropriate military authority. 6690." Portsmouth, New Hampshire. May 1945. The photograph itself is the courtesy of Isaac "Ike" Bethel Utley, who was born in Smith Mills, Kentucky on 3 March 1920. Ike enlisted in the Army Air Corps on 19 January 1942. He was shipped overseas to the European Theatre and worked with a supply division based out of the city of Naples with an office set up in a residential villa. Utley worked with the Office of War Information and used their photographs in news articles to inform soldiers of the progress of the war. At war's end, Utley returned stateside. A trunk full of over 800 photographs from the O.W.I. arrived on his doorstep from his office in Italy, sender unknown.
