High-altitude developments Limitations of A series The BMW 139 (and the 801 that followed) had originally been designed as a high-power replacement for earlier engines like the BMW 132 that were used primarily on low-altitude cargo aircraft and bombers. As a result, the designers had not invested much effort in producing high performance superchargers for it. Even before the Fw 190 A was put into service, its high-altitude performance was seen to be deficient. In contrast, the Daimler-Benz DB 601 engines used on the Bf 109 featured an advanced fluid-coupled, single stage, variable speed...

Ofensiva italiana en Africa En 1935 el Ejercito Italiano contaba solamente con una fuerza de 20.000 hombres destacada en Libia, considerada para esa epoca adecuada a las necesidades de seguridad interna. Con ocasion de la guerra contra Etiopia, se trasladaron algunos contingentes mas, pero realmente no se hizo nada en labores de proveer dispositivos defensivos, no mejorar el apoyo logistico. En Enero de 1937 se decidio la creacion de un Mando Superior para Africa Septentrional, disponiendo de dos Cuerpos de Ejercito y cuatro divisiones. En 1938 se destaco un Cuerpo Expedicionario constituido...

Belgica y norte de Francia La batalla del Marne detuvo la ofensiva alemana en el norte y motivo el reemplazo del general Moltke . Para fortalecer una nueva ofensiva desde Belgica, el nuevo comandante en jefe del Ejercito Aleman, Erich von Falkenhayn, decidio disolver los Ejercitos 6. y 7. y formarlos de nuevo en el norte, detras del rio Aisne, con el objetivo de fortalecer el flanco derecho aleman. Una vez que el 6. Ejercito fue reorganizado, el principe Rodolfo y el general Konrad Krafft von Dellmensingen recuperaron sus cargos de Comandante en Jefe y Jefe del Estado Mayor, respectivamente....

With the outbreak of World War I in August 1914 the importance of aerial warfare was initially overlooked. The general staffs of the combatant nations considered it a toy of dubious use, and those in the infant air services were looked upon as "backsliders" who had found a way of avoiding "real" action. Speaking as Commander-in-Chief, Aldershot, just one month before the outbreak of war, for example, Sir Douglas Haig, later commander of the British Expeditionary Force, told a military gathering: "I hope none of you gentlemen is so foolish as to think that aeroplanes will be able to be...

Speech by Herr Hitler at Wilhelmshaven on April 1, 1939 GERMANS Volksgenossen und Volksgenossinnen Whoever wishes to estimate the decline and regeneration of Germany must look at the development of a city like Wilhelmshaven. A short time ago it was a dead spot almost without any title to existence, without any prospect of a future; to-day it is filled again with the hum of work and production. It is good if one recalls again to memory this past. When the city experienced its first rise to prosperity, this coincided with the regeneration of the German Reich after its battle for unification....

La terrible batalla de Stalingrado tenia su mas proximo parangon en los horrores que la maquina de picar carne de Falkenhayn habia provocado en Verdun. Sin embargo, hubo algunas diferencias significativas: en Verdun raramente se encontraban los enemigos frente a frente, porque los mataban a distancia los explosivos o eran abatidos por el fuego de las ametralladoras; en cambio, en Stalingrado, cada batalla se resolvia en una lucha cuerpo a cuerpo. Los soldados podian hablarse e insultarse con sus enemigos al otro lado de la calle; a menudo oian su respiracion en la habitacion vecina de una...

Smoke swirled amid the thunderous noise that roared from powerful Dahlgren guns and Brooke rifles. Thousands of spectators along the shore watched the two most dangerous warships in the world at each other at point-blank range. Lieutenant Catesby ap Roger Jones hoped that his Virginia would overcome the Monitor and clear the U.S. Navy from Hampton Roads, Virginia. Jones was startled to see a party of his gunners standing idle. Confronting Lieutenant John R. Eggleston, Jones asked, "Why are you not firing, Mr. Eggleston?" "Why, our powder is very precious, and after two hours' incessant firing...

Though Germany only started to become interested in the raising of airborne forces in the mid-1930s, under the auspices of the Nazis the foundations were established upon which an entire airborne division could be created. But first an air force and air industry had to be created from scratch following defeat in World War The development of the German Fallschirmjager (parachutists) formations can be traced back to the years preceding World War I. During the years between 1900 and 1914, two major revolutionary military developments emerged. The first was the submersible; the second, and more...
