DZ Season 064 Part 55. End the War in 44 – The American Way of War – What the Brits Had to Say. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Americans did not give a great deal of thought to morale, in the sense of fighting spirit. Generals in all armies as a matter of faith and national pride believe that their soldiers are naturally endowed with courage. The younger American soldier was buoyed up by his national self-confidence, and the older by the memories of a war which for them had ended quickly in a glorious victory for American arms, or so it was perceived. Unlike the British, there was no folk-memory of the murderous att

Read excerpt
Four brave men who do not know each other, wrote Ardant du Picq in his Etudes de Combat, will hesitate to attack a lion; four less brave men, but knowing and trusting each other, will do so resolutely. The point of the tale is this: of all the organizational problems an army has to solve, that of how best to merge replacements into existing units so as to ensure the cohesion of the whole is one of the most crucial, since on it depends the unit's fighting power. The sheer size of the problem may

Bradley's distaste for Lee, which he expressed frequently, was never explained. Bradley left behind two autobiographies, one co-written with Clay Blair. In neither does he mention Lee by name . wrote Hank H Cox in his biography of General JCH Lee, The General Who Wore Six Stars . Without naming names Bradley had praised to the heavens what Lee had accomplished in the Battle of the Bulge, not naming him, of course. But Antony Beevor in his book Ardennes 1944, referred to this remark that Bradley

On 24 December Bradley gave a press briefing in which he announced that he had foreseen the possibility of the enemy's attack in the Ardennes six weeks before the battle, and that for this reason had sited no American dumps of ammunition or petrol east of the Meuse! wrote Nigel Hamilton in his book on Monty, The Battles of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery . If that was true that was the most intuitive calculation that Bradley made in the whole of World War II, because as Karl-Heinz Frieser, of H

Read excerpt
In World War I, one of the great miracles happened on 24th August 1914, just weeks after the war began, to save the British Army from disaster – the Angels of Mons. Judging from Dunkirk, the British Army frequently needed a lot of divine intervention to save it. The Historic UK website gives this account of the miracle, which I’ve taken the liberty to edit for dramatic effect. This is the story it told: a British soldier recalling, while shooting during the Battle of Mons, his visits to a vegeta
