German Memory- US President Gen Dwight D Eisenhower in the Crisis of Starving German POWs

An assertion that was central to Canadian author James Bacque's accusation was his contention that there was no European food shortage in 1945. But historians pointed out Eisenhower had sent many messages before the surrender of Germany on the expectation of possible inadequacy of food. After the first week of May, all of Eisenhower's calculations as to how many people he would be required to feed in occupied Germany became woefully inadequate. He had badly underestimated, for two reasons. First, the number of German soldiers surrendering to the Western Allies far exceeded what was expected (more than five million, instead of the anticipated three million) because of the onrush of German soldiers across the Elbe River to escape the Russians. So too the German civilians - there were millions fleeing from east to west, about 13 million altogether, and they became Eisenhower's responsibility.

German Memories - Volga Germans Under Bolshevist Atrocities

Following WWI and the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Russia experienced mass starvation from 1920 to 1924 caused largely by a government policy of forced grain requisition. When the Volga Germans resisted, they were completely stripped of all grain and mass executions were carried out. More than thirty percent of the Volga German population was deliberately starved before relief was permitted. The cruelties against the Volga Germans was better revealed to the world in 1922 when a former Sheboygan resident John Hermann returned to Sheboygan, Wisconsin and told his story of survival and escape from Russia.

German Memories - Roman Rule in Germania

During the year 7 B.C., the Romans had to put down only smaller unrest in some places and they didn't need to engage in any major combat operations, since the exhausted Germanic tribes mostly respected the peace and recognized the Roman rule. The newly-conquered area was secured with army routes and camps. In the winter, the Roman army retreated into the camps along the left bank of the Rhine. But during the entire summer, all strategically important parts of Germania were occupied by Roman soldier camps. Apart from this military presence, the Romans also set up numerous markets and founded trading posts: Slowly an extensive peaceful exchange of goods began between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes, who formerly had to purchase all Roman products indirectly over Gaul. These trading posts probably contributed much to make Germanic people familiar with the Roman way of life, language, laws and customs.

Republicans Should Resist Neo-Isolationism

With the failures of its first grand international project in Iraq having discredited Neoconservatism as a school of foreign policy, some Republicans might be tempted to lurch to a strict non-interventionist foreign policy. They should resist such a temptation. Neo-isolationism would only shift the Republican Party from one ideological fringe to another, while compromising the nation’s major global interests.

Somalia - Al Qaeda's New Base - America's Next War?

Somalia has long been the world's centre of anarchy and Mogadishu the capital of mayhem. Awash with weapons, for 16 years it has existed without a central government and has been plagued by civil war between competing clan and sub-clans, warlords and jihadists. In the medium to long-term the invasion by Ethiopian forces looks set not to quell this phenomenon, but to eventually exacerbate it.
