GDR / DDR 1990 ▶ Speech about former Wehrmacht officers and Stalingrad veterans in the NVA
GDR / DDR 1990 ▶ Speech about former Wehrmacht officers and Stalingrad veterans in the NVA. Several of them were commanders in the battle of Stalingrad and involved in the construction of the National People's Army NVA in 1950s. Among them were the commander of the 6th army Friedrich Paulus and the commander of the 24th tank division Arno von Lenski. The NVA of the Socialist German Democratic Republic (East Germany) was on the verge of dissolution in 1990.
And even after 1945, when the Wehrmacht had sworn an oath on Adolf Hitler in oath of allegiance, these officers were not treated like the last filth. That I must say, in my opinion. They built up the Bundeswehr, and I know many Wehrmacht officers who built up the National People's Army. Chief tank driver, General von Lenski, built up the tank force. The intelligence corps was built by Major General Reymann, a man I still respect today. I know many in all offices. In the 1950s either the Chief of Staff was an officer of the Wehrmacht or the Commander was an officer of the Wehrmacht or a regiment commander. They helped to build this army. And they certainly contributed their moral concept to this army. Just like in the Bundeswehr. A Graf Baudissin, an Ulrich de Maizière naturally had more reformist views than a Heusinger and others who belonged to the conservative forces. But they were all in this Bundeswehr.
Dealing with officers and generals of the Wehrmacht in the NVA: It was in the interest of the SED leadership to fill the military leadership cadres with comrades loyal to the line who at the same time had military leadership experience. Such comrades would ideally have been KPD functionaries, or at least experienced members from the Weimar period, who had served as members of the paramilitary Red Front Fighters' League, as fighters of the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War, or directly in the ranks of the Red Army, be it as defectors or as exiled comrades in the 1930s. Former members of the National Committee of Free Germany and the League of Officers were also in demand. However, such biographical constellations were rare, and many of the KPD comrades with combat experience had not survived the concentration camps or the struggle on the front. In 1948 there were still about 40 Spanish fighters serving in police authorities or in the Ministry of the Interior, but only a few took on leadership tasks. Thus, not all open command posts could be filled with qualified cadres, even though military and technical qualifications were sometimes put behind during the reconstruction years. However, this could not be permanent. Military training and leadership experience was especially necessary in the staffs, at the officer schools and for theoretical tasks such as the elaboration of official regulations and training instructions. For this reason, the SED leadership relied on veteran generals and officers of the Reichswehr and later Wehrmacht for the establishment of the Kasernierte Volkspolizei and Volksarmee. Thus, the former Wehrmacht generals Rudolf Bamler, Arthur Brandt, Walter Freytag, Vincenz Müller, Hans von Weech and Hans Wulz were taken on early in the active service of the armed organs. During the transition from the KVP to the NVA in 1956, four former generals of the Wehrmacht served. A total of 500 former Wehrmacht officers of all ranks served in the NVA during this founding phase. Of these, more than twelve achieved a general or admiral rank within the armed organs. On 15 February 1957, the Politburo of the Central Committee decided to remove former Wehrmacht and Reichwehr officers by the end of the year by early retirement or transfer to the reserve. In March 1964, 67 former Wehrmacht officers served in all branches of the GDR. In the autumn of 1958, Major General Hans Wulz was dismissed as the last Wehrmacht general; with Major General Reinhard Brühl, lieutenant of the Wehrmacht, the last former Wehrmacht officer left the NVA in the summer of 1989.

German Federal Police
The Federal Police (Bundespolizei or BPOL) is a (primarily) uniformed federal police force in Germany. It is subordinate to the Federal Ministry of the Interior (Bundesministerium des Innern (BMI)).[1] Ordinary police forces, meanwhile, are under the administration of the individual German states (Bundesländer) and are known as the Landespolizei.
The Bundespolizei was formerly known as the Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) (Federal Border Guard), which had a more restricted role. Prior to 1994 BGS members also had military combatant status due to their historical foundation and border-guard role in West Germany. In July 2005 the law renaming the BGS as the BPOL was enacted.
The BPOL has the following missions:
Border security, (Grenzpolizei or Grepo) to include passport control and the provision of coast guard services along Germany's 700 km coasts.
Protection of federal buildings such as Schloss Bellevue, the residence of the German Bundespräsident; they also protect the two highest German courts, both in Karlsruhe: The Federal Constitutional Court of Germany (Bundesverfassungsgericht) and The Federal Court of Justice of Germany (Bundesgerichtshof).
Providing the federal government's mobile response force for internal security events.
Providing transportation security at international airports and on the German railways.
Providing counter-terrorism forces (GSG 9).
Providing air (or sky) marshals.
Supporting international police missions for the United Nations and EU in Kosovo, Sudan, Liberia, Afghanistan, Gaza Strip, Moldova and Georgia.
Providing in-house security for some German embassies.
Providing rescue helicopter service.
The Bundespolizei can also be used to reinforce state police if requested by a state (Land) government. The BPOL maintains these reserve forces to deal with major demonstrations, disturbances or emergencies, supplementing the capabilities of the State Operational Support Units. Several highly trained detachments are available for crisis situations requiring armored cars, water cannon or other special equipment. BPOL has investigators conduct criminal investigations only within its jurisdiction; otherwise the cases are referred to the appropriate state police force or to the federal criminal investigative agency, the Federal Criminal Police (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA). In addition, the Bundespolizei cooperates closely with German state executive authorities, such as prosecutor's offices (Staatsanwaltschaft) in pursuing criminal investigations.
The BPOL national headquarters (BPOL-Präsidium) in Potsdam performs all central control functions. Eight regional headquarters (BPOL-Direktion) control the BPOL stations conduct rail police and border protection missions. These areas of responsibility conform to the federal state boundaries which they did not do prior to 1 March 2008.

Leopold I of Belgium
Leopold I was a German prince who became the first King of the Belgians following Belgian independence in 1830. He reigned between July 1831 and December 1865. He established the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to which all subsequent Belgian kings have belonged.
Born into the ruling family of the small German duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Leopold took a commission in the Imperial Russian Army and fought against Napoleon after French troops overran Saxe-Coburg during the Napoleonic Wars. After Napoleon's defeat, Leopold moved to the United Kingdom where he married Princess Charlotte of Wales, the only child of the Prince Regent, thus situating himself as a possible future prince consort of Great Britain. Charlotte died in 1817, although Leopold continued to enjoy considerable status in England.

Behind Enemy Lines: The True Story of a French Jewish Spy in Nazi Germany
Born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Metz, France, she was 20 when her country fell to Adolf Hitler’s tanks and planes in spring 1940. Four years later, after the liberation of Paris from Nazi occupation, Marthe Cohn enlisted as an Allied spy.
Now 99 years old, Cohn relaxed comfortably in a chair on stage in Franklin & Marshall’s Alumni Sports and Fitness Center, where she captivated the Sept. 5 Common Hour audience with her story of danger and bravery, a story never told until decades later when she co-authored the 2002 book, “Behind Enemy Lines: The True Story of a French Jewish Spy in Nazi Germany.”

SUMMARY
=======
Archduke Charles of Austria, Duke of Teschen (German: Erzherzog Carl Ludwig Johann Joseph Laurentius von Österreich, Herzog von Teschen; 5 September 1771 – 30 April 1847) was an Austrian field-marshal, the third son of Emperor Leopold II and his wife, Maria Luisa of Spain. He was also the younger brother of Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor. Despite being epileptic, Charles achieved respect both as a commander and as a reformer of the Austrian army. He was considered one of Napoleon's more formidable opponents.He began his career fighting the revolutionary armies of France. Early in the wars of the First Coalition, he saw victory at Neerwinden in 1793, before being defeated at Wattignies 1793 and Fleurus 1794. In 1796, as chief of all Austrian forces on the Rhine, Charles defeated Jean-Baptiste Jourdan at Amberg and Würzburg, and then won a victory at Emmendingen that forced Jean Victor Marie Moreau to withdraw across the Rhine. He also defeated opponents at Zürich, Ostrach, Stockach, and Messkirch in 1799. He reformed Austria's armies to adopt the nation-at-arms principle. In 1809, he entered the War of the Fifth Coalition and inflicted Napoleon's first major setback at Aspern-Essling, before suffering a defeat at the bloody Battle of Wagram. After Wagram, Charles saw no more significant action in the Napoleonic Wars.
As a military strategist, Charles was able to successfully execute complex and risky maneuvers of troops. However, his contemporary Carl von Clausewitz criticize his rigidity and adherence to geographic strategy.
Austrians nevertheless remember Charles as a hero of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.
Albert II of Belgium
Albert II (born 6 June 1934) reigned as King of the Belgians from 1993 until his abdication in 2013. He is a member of the royal house of Belgium; formerly this house was named Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. He is the uncle of the current reigning Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Henri.
On 3 July 2013, King Albert II attended a midday session of the Belgian cabinet. He then announced that on 21 July, he would abdicate the throne for health reasons. He was succeeded by his son Philippe on 21 July 2013. Albert II was the fourth monarch to abdicate in 2013, following Pope Benedict XVI, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, and Emir Hamad bin Khalifa of Qatar. In doing so, he was also the second Belgian king to abdicate following his father, King Leopold III, who abdicated in 1951, albeit under very different circumstances.

Weimar Republic
The Weimar Republic (German: Weimarer Republik [ˈvaɪmaʁɐ ʁepuˈbliːk] ( )) is the name given by historians to the federal republic and semi-presidential representative democracy established in 1919 in Germany to replace the imperial form of government. It is named after Weimar, the city where the constitutional assembly took place. During this period, and well into the succeeding Nazi era, the official name of the state was German Reich (Deutsches Reich), which continued on from the pre-1918 Imperial period.
Following World War I, the republic emerged from the German Revolution in November 1918. In 1919, a national assembly was convened in Weimar, where a new constitution for the German Reich was written, then adopted on 11 August of that same year. In its fourteen years, the Weimar Republic faced numerous problems, including hyperinflation, political extremists (with paramilitaries – both left and right wing) and continuing contentious relationships with the victors of World War I. However, the Weimar Republic successfully reformed the currency, unified tax policies and the railway system and it did eliminate most of the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles, in that Germany never completely met the disarmament requirements, and eventually only paid a small portion of the total reparations required by the treaty, which were reduced twice by restructuring Germany's debt through the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan.

SUMMARY
=======
Houston Stewart Chamberlain (; 9 September 1855 – 9 January 1927) was a British-born German philosopher who wrote works about political philosophy and natural science; he is described by Michael D. Biddiss, a contributor to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, as a racialist writer. Chamberlain married Eva von Bülow, the daughter of composer Richard Wagner, in December 1908, twenty-five years after Wagner's death.Chamberlain's best known book is the two-volume Die Grundlagen des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts (The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century), published in 1899, which became highly influential in the pan-Germanic völkisch movements of the early 20th century and later influenced the antisemitism of Nazi racial policy. Indeed, Chamberlain has been referred to as Hitler's John the Baptist.

SUMMARY
=======
The Western Allied invasion of Germany was coordinated by the Western Allies during the final months of hostilities in the European theatre of World War II. In preparation for the Allied invasion of Germany, a series of offensive operations were designed to seize and capture the east and west bank of the Rhine River. Operation Veritable and Operation Grenade in February 1945, and Operation Lumberjack and Operation Undertone in March 1945. Allied invasion of Germany started with the Western Allies crossing the Rhine River on 22 March 1945 before fanning out and overrunning all of western Germany from the Baltic in the north to Austria in the south before the Germans surrendered on 8 May 1945. This is known as the Central Europe Campaign in United States military histories.
By early 1945, events favored the Allied forces in Europe. On the Western Front the Allies had been fighting in Germany with campaigns against the Siegfried Line since the Battle of Aachen and the Battle of Hurtgen Forest in late 1944 and by January 1945 had pushed the Germans back to their starting points during the Battle of the Bulge. The failure of this offensive exhausted Germany's strategic reserve, leaving it ill-prepared to resist the final Allied campaigns in Europe. Additional losses in the Rhineland further weakened the German Army, leaving shattered remnants of units to defend the east bank of the Rhine. On 7 March, the Allies seized the last remaining intact bridge across the Rhine at Remagen, and had established a large bridgehead on the river's east bank. During Operation Lumberjack, Operation Plunder and Operation Undertone in March 1945, German casualties during February–March 1945 are estimated at 400,000 men, including 280,000 men captured as prisoners of war.On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Red Army (including the Polish Armed Forces in the East under Soviet command) simultaneously with the Western Allies, had liberated most of Poland and began their offensive into Eastern Germany in February 1945, and by March were within striking distance of Berlin. The initial advance into Romania, the First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive in April and May 1944 was a failure; the second Offensive in August succeeded. The Red Army also pushed deep into Hungary (the Budapest Offensive) and eastern Czechoslovakia and temporarily halted at what is now the modern German border on the Oder–Neisse line. These rapid advances on the Eastern Front destroyed additional veteran German combat units and severely limited German Führer Adolf Hitler's ability to reinforce his Rhine defenses. As such, with the Western Allies making fina ...
George V
George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 -- 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936.
George was a grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and the first cousin of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. From 1877 to 1891, he served in the Royal Navy. On the death of Victoria in 1901, George's father became King Edward VII, and George was made Prince of Wales. On his father's death in 1910, he succeeded as King-Emperor of the British Empire. He was the only Emperor of India to be present at his own Delhi Durbar.

Alexander Suvorov
Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov, Count Suvorov of Rymnik, Prince of Italy, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, national hero of Russia, was the last Generalissimo of the Russian Empire. Nineteenth century sources sometimes refer to him as Suwarrow or Suwarow.
Suvorov is one of the few generals in history who never lost a battle, being undefeated in over 60 large battles while frequently having numerical disadvantage. He was famed for his military manual The Science of Victory and noted for several of his sayings, including What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle, The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about, and Perish yourself but rescue your comrade! He taught his soldiers to attack instantly and decisively: Attack with the cold steel! Push hard with the bayonet!. He joked with the men, calling common soldiers brother, and shrewdly presented the results of detailed planning and careful strategy as the work of inspiration.
