The Winter War (Finnish: Talvisota, Russian: Советско-финляндская война - official, Зимняя война- unofficial[10], Swedish: Vinterkriget) began when the Soviet Union attacked Finland on 30 November 1939, three months after the invasion of Poland by Germany that started World War II. Because the attack was judged as illegal, the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations on 14 December.[11] The Soviet forces had four times as many soldiers as the Finns, 30 times as many aircraft and 200 times as many tanks.[4] However, the Red Army had recently been subjected to a drastic purge in 1937 that crippled it, reducing its morale and efficiency shortly before the outbreak of hostilities.[12] With up to 50% of army officers executed, including the vast majority of those of the highest rank, the Red Army in 1939 had many inexperienced senior officers.[13] Due to a combination of this factor and an extremely high commitment and morale in the Finnish forces, the Finns were able to resist the invasion of their country with great success and for far longer than the Soviets had expected. Finland held out until March 1940, when it signed the Moscow Peace Treaty, ceding about 9% of its pre-war territory and 20% of its industrial capacity to the Soviet Union. Soviet losses on the front were large, and the country's international standing suffered. Also, the fighting ability of the Red Army was questioned, a factor that contributed to Adolf Hitler's decision to launch Operation Barbarossa. Finally, the Soviet forces did not accomplish their primary objective of conquest of Finland but gained only a slice of territory along Lake Ladoga. The Finns retained their sovereignty and gained considerable international goodwill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomi_M-3

Die Operation Herkules war eine Kriegsaktion der Achsenmaechte im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Sie sah die Eroberung Maltas durch deutsche und italienische Fallschirmjaeger und Luftlandetruppen vor. Der suedeuropaeische Inselstaat im Mittelmeer war wegen seiner strategisch und geografisch ausgezeichneten Lage zwischen Afrika und Europa als Standort unabdingbar. Aber auch die Nachschubwege der Nazis konnten von diesem Stuetzpunkt aus hervorragend gestoert werden.

History's Turning Points- 1917 AD The Russian Revolution
series depicting critical events in history that dramatically changed the course of future civilisations
America protects its homeland with the most technologically advanced military force ever conceived. Although they fight 21st-century battles worldwide, the technology unleashed is directly descended from a war fought more than 140 years ago. This episode explores how the War between North and South was the first modern war, and the technology used in it was a quantum leap beyond any previous conflict. The machine gun, aerial reconnaissance, advanced battlefield medicine, instantaneous communication, ironclad ships, even the first aircraft carrier were all innovations developed during the Civil War. We'll investigate improvements in weapons, sea power, transportation, troop conveyance, food processing, medical care, and telecommunications. At a time when the nation was divided, Civil War technology revolutionized the way war was waged. Today, those technological milestones have evolved to ensure that our modern military has no equal in the world.
