War on Civilians: A Horrific Legacy of World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 14 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, * The fire-bombing raids on Japan constituted all-out war on a civilian population. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Fire-bombing constituted the worst form of warfare imaginable. It was a method of warfare that would have been anathema to Americans only a few short years before. A major reason for the development of high-altitude precision bombing was the belief among most Air Corps officers that deliberately attacking civilians was immoral. Even as the British turned toward area bombing of German cities, American strategists continued hazard...

Just How Effective Was Britain's Six-Pounder Anti-Tank Gun Against Hitler's Panzers?
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The six-pounder was the first British antitank gun that could reliably pierce the armor of German panzers. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The six-pounder and M1 57mm cannon filled a gap in the Allied antitank capability during the middle of World War II. Sergeant Charles Callistan looked through the sights of an antitank gun at an approaching enemy tank. His weapon, a six-pounder cannon, was in the perimeter of a surrounded British outpost named Snipe. The desert sun shone overhead and flies buzzed all around, but none of this mattered...
Why Did Churchill Betray the Cossacks in World War II?
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* At Yalta, Churchill agreed to turn over to Stalin all captured Soviet Cossacks that had been on the German side. Surely he knew what that meant. *Here's What You Need to Know*: An estimated four million Red Army soldiers were captured by the Germans during the six months after the launching of Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, on June 22, 1941. Indeed, the chief of the German General Staff, Colonel General Franz Halder, wrote, “The Russians have lost this war in the first eight days! Their casualties—in both m...
Fleming, Ian Fleming: How World War II Inspired the Creation of James Bond
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* By the war’s end, Fleming had accumulated a vast store of ideas, impressions, and incidents he was to use in his James Bond novels. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The adventures of a British Intelligence officer during World War II fueled the creation of the mythical spy James Bond. Some accounts of Ian Fleming’s life make it seem that only at the age of 44, as an antidote to the shock of finally agreeing to get married, did he suddenly commit himself to the unplanned task of creating his James Bond novels. In actuality, he had declar...
No, America Shouldn’t Fear an Iranian Arms Buying Spree
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Iran’s military is switching from unconventional warfare to more conventional weapons. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While Iran’s rulers have no aspirations to be a superpower, they do seem to covet being a regional hegemon as the Persian Empire was. So far, Iran has waged war on the cheap by using proxies rather than massive troop commitments as the U.S. did in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran’s military is switching from unconventional warfare to more conventional weapons. That means more ballistic missiles to hit its enemies, as well as m...

*Warfare History Network* *History, * The place of destroyer escorts goes far beyond the Battle of the Atlantic. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The destroyer escort ran the gauntlet against Axis forces around the world. Through the first half of World War II, Allied shipping losses to German U-boats climbed steadily from over 400,000 tons in the last four months of 1939 to more than two million tons each in 1940 and 1941, before reaching a staggering 6,266,215 tons in 1942 following the entry of the United States into the war.

The Paradise of the Impatient and the Miserable
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
The people who live in a paradise, isolated from the real world, get filled with the notion that something is missing in their life, and they become impatient and miserable. They demand perfection; they demand more power, more wealth, more conveniences, more glory. If they can’t have everything, they will burn everything—either they will be the lords of the perfect paradise or the lords of the chaos. If you have lived in the paradise all your life, you can’t know what the paradise means because you have no experience of the world outside. It is always the impatient and miserable res...
