MINCED


Glyndwr MICHAEL (n.Gales, 1909 - d. London, 1943)

In the spring of 1943 things began to go wrong for the Germans after suffering the defeat of Stalingrad and have been virtually expelled from North Africa . The next logical step for the Western allies was a foothold in Europe, and the most appropriate place for this was Sicily, both for its proximity to the newly conquered Tunisian coasts as being a sort of large aircraft that made it possible German air operations in the Mediterranean. The invasion of the island had been planned months in advance and had concluded that a direct attack would be suicidal, because the Germans knew that was the place that more ballots had to be attacked. However, a couple of British intelligence officers, Ewen Montangu and Charles Cholmondeley, they thought that it might be possible through a ruse to convince the enemy that would attack the other side. Cholmondeley had been working with the idea of \u200b\u200blaunching a corpse parachuted into enemy territory with incriminating documents, but later rejected the plan that seemed too crude to fool anyone. However it was thought that if the body seemed to be the victim of a plane crash over the sea the deception would be more likely to thrive, so Montangu Cholmondeley and went looking for a body that could pass drowned in an autopsy. The body was provided by the pathologist Bernard Spillsbury, it was a 34 year old man whose death from pneumonia made him perfect to simulate a drowning man having waterlogged lungs. The family gave their consent to know it was for a special service and would be buried with honors once done this, only asked that his real name is not revealed. Once you have the body, dubbed the operation as Montangu Mincemeat (minced meat) in a display of black humor. The next thing was to create an identity that the Germans could take it for real, and thus was born Major William Martin of the Royal Marines. It was assumed that Martin was a specialist in amphibious operations carrying a letter from General Sir Archibald Nye, deputy chief of the Imperial General Staff, General Alexander , head of the 18 th Army Group, which could be read between the lines that invasion would be in Sardinia and Greece rather than Sicily. Also had another letter from Sir Louis Mountbatten , Chief of combined operations for the Admiral Cunningham in which Martin described the curriculum while he dropped the odd hint of the attack on Sardinia. Besides the letters, and Cholmondeley Montangu filled the pockets of the corpse with all that could lead a true British officer, from letters and a picture of his fiancee, who was not only one of the secretaries of the secret service, to a letter from the bank warning that was in the red after buying a ring for his girlfriend, identity cards for those who had to find a similar model and photographing the dead, keys, coins, tickets to a play of truth, etc.. Up I created a personality, was that Martin was something despistadillo in his private life and some of his documents were reservations about losing the real thing. Even had a letter in which his father was upset about his impending marriage. Once created
lure, had to think where to place it. It was decided that the best thing to appear on the English coast. Despite being a non-belligerent state, the affinity with Berlin was sufficient (Blue Division would not withdraw until the end of 1943) for the British insisting that any document that came into English hands end up in the Abwehr . The following was riding the dead in the submarine HMS Seraph between extensive security measures. The crew thought that the metal container was carrying a new weather buoy, and the officers knew only what they had just before leaving it in the sea a few meters from a beach in Huelva. So on April 30, a fisherman found the body of Martin who was carrying a briefcase with documents subject to his wrist by a chain.
As expected, a few hours the English authorities had made copies of the documents and they had been handed over to the Germans to the impatience to regain the British naval attache briefcase that knew no guile, and that he had said it was retrieve vital. Meanwhile, Martin was buried in the cemetery of La Soledad with military honors.
The arrival of the documents at the hands of Hitler, did it reinforce its troops in Sardinia and Greece, removing even two Panzer divisions from the Russian front would have been very useful in the battle of Kursk to cover the Peloponnese. Also removed most of the air and naval forces who defended Sicily, so that when the Allies landed on July 10 resistance was much more limited than expected and saved many lives. Moreover, the deception was so complete that Hitler kept thinking for a few days (as would happen later in Normandy) that the attack on Sicily was only a feint.
In 1953 Roger Morgan discovered that William Martin had actually been Glyndwr Michael, a homeless alcoholic Welshman who had not been admitted to the army and apparently died from eating rat poison. Today his name appears next to Martin in the tomb in the cemetery of Huelva, which is not without flowers since 1946 by Elizabeth Naylor Mendez and his father, who at death left her in charge of caring for the graves of those who saved so many lives after his death, though life had not been an example of just human. Finally
John and Noreen Steele in his book "The Secrets of HMS Dasher" have questioned the identity of the man buried in Huelva, arguing that the body of Glyndwr Michael was delivered on January 43 and that despite being kept on ice for when they wanted to use was too decomposed, so that the body was used anonymous one of the sailors killed on the aircraft carrier HMS Dasher . Personally I prefer the story of redeeming drunken bum after death, but that I like stories that end happily.

How Much Penacillin Do I Give My Dog

APPLYING AN ACCOUNT


TAZE CHARLES RUSSELL (b. Pittsburgh, 1852 - Pampa, 1916)

Some blog readers ask me occasionally what's the method used to select the characters. The truth is that no method. The reason why today I will write about the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses is an unexpected visit I had a few months ago, which cost me one morning and thanks to that found this funny article about the times that the world had to be finished, in turn, made me read some things about the Rev. Russell and his sympathetic followers. The thing usually works something like this, except that the "boot" of curiosity produces more times I read something that a middle-aged woman in meat appetizer trying to convince me that I can still save me for Christ mistress in the doorway of my home and at this time. Anyway, here goes: Charles T.
Russell was the son of a Presbyterian of Scottish descent and his Irish wife. Apparently it was a very intelligent boy because his father was associated with her clothing business when he was only twelve years. At thirteen he left the Presbyterian Church and became a Congregationalist. At sixteen he suffered such a crisis of faith that he abandoned his beliefs and went on to study other religions such as Buddhism or Hinduism. In 1870 he joined the Adventist church through the preaching of Jonas Wendell . Adventists were a millenarian group created by William Miller who in 1813 had predicted the end of the world for 1843. The disappointment that followed that date was about to end Adventists, but there were groups that weathered the storm in different ways, that of Wendell did propose a new date, 1874. Thanks to Wendell, Russell regained his interest in the Bible and began to systematically study while forming a circle close to discussing their readings. Between 1870 and 1874 designed together with several ministers Adventist their particular corpus of beliefs. In 1876 he received a copy of the Adventist magazine The Herald of the Morning , through which he met his editor Nelson H. Barbour who think he conveyed the idea that Christ had actually back in 1874 but an invisible and it was very likely to manifest in 1878 worldwide. Barbour's idea actually came very well Adventists, who had been a bit disappointed when Christ did not return in 1874, leaving the majority church. But above all Russell had greatly excited because, become a new kind of Peter Valdo , sold all his possessions and went to finance the publication of Barbour, while writing several books with ideas and trying to raise awareness among these most influential pastors.
In April 1878 the world did not end, so Russell decided to look in the Bible which was the cause of failure while claiming that there was still much to preach to people to be prepared for the return of Christ. The debate over what had happened ended his friendship with Barbour. In 1879 Russell founded his own magazine Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, separated definitely Adventists and married Maria Frances Ackley.
In 1884 he founded the Zion's Watchtower Tract Society and formed several Bible study groups whose members were obliged to disseminate the brochures that came edited since 1881. In 1890 was about 400 fans in the states adjacent to hers and had made a name as preacher. His ideas went against the Trinity, and the commonly accepted concept of hell among other things, but certainly the crucial part of his teachings were the millenarian. Reinterpreted Russell famous chronology of Bishop Ussher and using techniques as "sophisticated" as the pyramidology (thought history dates could be obtained from the measurements of the Great Pyramid) concluded that the world would end in 1914. This last eccentricity of the pyramids has made means to come to the Catholic Church, with which he always took particular evil Jehovah's Witnesses, accuse him been Mason.
In 1896 the company changed its name to become Watch Tower Bible Tract Society an , which is the name now. Russell was known at that time virtually all United States for his continuous trips that constantly founded new communities and for his articles that appeared in many newspapers. But not everything was so nice, in 1897 his wife filed for divorce on the grounds that there was not enough participation in the direction of society. Following the separation process came to light all sorts of allegations against Russell, from adultery with multiple women to relationships indecency with a young pupil, through cruelty to his wife who he forced to maintain a celibate relationship apparently. In addition, between 1911 and 1913 was involved in a scandal over the sale of an alleged miracle wheat turned out to be a scam. In 1914, the beginning of World War I made him to hope that the world would end after all, although his death, which occurred in Pampa (Texas) during one of his travels, the thing was so bad paint that had to delay it to 1918 with the old excuse of invisible coming in 1914.
His successors continued to make accounts and since then have pointed to the end of the world for 1925, 1940, 1975 and 1995. Despite such a record of "hits" the cult renamed by the first of them, Joseph Franklin Rutherford , as Jehovah's Witnesses now live in an excellent state of health and its millions of faithful talkative and always ready to save a soul who does not want the thing across the world. Some of them are neighbors of mine, but I do not visit much.

Are There Formal Dresses Size 00




JEROME MERINO (n. Villoviado, 1769 - m. Alençon, 1844)

Much is being talked about as a result of the war in Iraq on the difference between popular and guerrilla insurgency or terrorism. In our country we have to illustrate the situation happened in our war of independence (1808-1814) against French invaders. In both cases, people stand up against the foreign invader, even though, in theory, the invasion meant the imposition of a system that will bring more freedom. In both cases the army has to bring alleged freedom is conducted in a brutal manner, which makes people not see them as liberators and, finally, in both cases are the invaded country's religious head of the insurgency in many places . In Spain were also the same guerrilla priests who populate our national epic, especially after try by every means to stifle the desire for freedom that after the French invasion (and it seems rather in spite of it) had begun to sprout from the English. One of the most famous clerics Merino guerrillas was the priest.
son of peasant proprietors Villoviado in Burgos town, Merino studied for the priesthood in Burgos and returned to his village to take its place as pastor. In 1808 the French troops who were passing by, apparently vejaron him (although I have not been able to find in what way, the truth) and jailed. Later she managed to escape and, with a nephew and a few parishioners, burst into the hills and founded a guerrilla group, known then as "Crusade items, more famous at the time. It seems that the only military knowledge he had came to him from reading the classics, yet they became one of the worst thorns in French logistics lines between Burgos and Valladolid, to the point that he became interested in the same Napoleon. In 1810, following the action of Quintanar del Puente in which a large convoy was headed to Ciudad Real was appointed colonel by the Supreme Board, but had to retire to the Sierra de Quintanar harassed by the French. Shortly afterwards he was promoted again, to brigadier, to eliminate a large group of French Barbadillo. Also later managed to capture an entire battalion of Polish, and carried out many actions with your group or together with others such as the Empecinado with great success, so when the war was general and military governor of Burgos. Unfortunately during the conflict Merino also noted for his cruelty to the French prisoners, starring acts such as the French squad of twenty for each member of the board of Soria that the invaders were killed in 1812 that, although they were often response to the savagery of enemy, seem difficult to justify today. Presumably the French way of doing this so different from their conventional war would seem terrorism and stories that are told about the cruelty of guerrilla makes us think about the images of Western hostages seen on TV not long ago. After the war
Fernando VII appointed him canon of Palencia, although it seems that did not last long in office for discussions with their peers. However, in 1820 came to lie down the mountain, this time to defend absolutism against liberals who had come to enforce the Constitution of Cadiz the monarch. During the Liberal Triennium (1820-1823) led guerrilla gangs in different parts of Castile, and in 1823 his forces formed the vanguard of curiously French army that invaded Spain this time to reintroduce absolutism, standing out against his fellow liberals for the same atrocities that were committed against Napoleon's soldiers, and having to face in the battlefield to old friends, as Determined.
After the death of Fernando VII in 1833, Murphy joined forces with Carlos María Isidro suitor , defended by the absolutists, against liberals who had sided with the Queen Regent Maria Cristina in what was the Carlist War . In it, and as Commander in Chief of Castilla and Extremadura, participated in Bilbao sites and Morella. Defeated the Carlist and peace that brought Vergara agreement in 1839, was forced into exile in France, he had been the scourge of liberals and pro-French, ending his days in a convent in Alençon in 1844. The story of the priest
Merino and unconditional control of the Church against all that progress and would involve a greater degree of freedom in Spain during the nineteenth century, can serve as a guide to see when it can assume happen when the Americans leave Iraq. This coupled with the latest developments does not suggest a scenario of greater freedom in the short term, but rather the opposite. Although it is possible that the seed of liberty has been planted, most likely have to be the Iraqis themselves those who finally reach their own way and without external imposition. Solo is expected to be faster and more peacefully than in Spain.

Potential World Record Whitetail

FAMILY HISTORY IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND NOT SEE IT COME


Georg Elser (n. Hermaringen, 1903 - Dachau, 1945)

In a sequence of American TV series "Band of Brothers" a paratrooper Yankee tells another while traveling on a road occupied Germany in 1945: "I've never seen so few Nazis and since we entered Germany." I think the phrase pretty much sums up how difficult it was to find the end of the war a German who claimed to have been voluntary on the side of Hitler. In fact, historical data confirm rather the opposite, since 1933 resistance to the Nazi regime was virtually eliminated with few exceptions. So one is shocked when she discovers the story of Georg Elser, a simple carpenter who had in his hands the possibility of changing the story only guided by the desire to avoid another war.
Hermaringen Georg Elser was born in 1903, and started young to earn a living first as a turner apprentice in a metal factory and then by health problems, as an apprentice carpenter, a trade in which he was an officer in 1922. After working in various places in 1925 he was hired in a watch factory in Konstanz, where he worked until 1929. That same year he joined the Rotfrontkämpferbund , a paramilitary group of the Communist Party, although it seems that what we really liked was to play several instruments at the group meetings, and that his militancy was never too serious. Voted the Communists because he felt that they were the best defending the rights of workers, but also a man of deep religious beliefs. In 1930 he had a son with his girlfriend Mathilde Niedermann and moved to Switzerland where he worked on another watch factory until 1932. Then he returned to Germany to work in the lumber business from his father. Elser opposed Nazism from the outset, refusing to greet arm high and to participate in any act of the party. In 1936 he began work on a new factory, which became aware of rearming his country, but it seems that was the night of broken glass in 1938 and the memory of the First World War, who had lived as a teenager, what I decided to act to try to prevent a new war. On September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland, and his fears were realized. Determined to act, and using his knowledge of watches, Elser was 30 days remaining locked at night and no one would notice him in the famous Munich beer hall where Hitler had attempted a coup d'etat in 1923. Finally on 8 November, the anniversary of that date, Hitler and most of the leading hierarchs of Nazism met at the brewery for a memorial. At first it was thought that the act lasted until 10 pm but, unfortunately, bad weather meant that Hitler decided to return to Berlin by train instead of plane, and left the beer an hour earlier than planned, in So when at 21:20 pm exploded the bomb that had so laboriously built and placed Elser, their goal was already far. The attack left eight dead and dozens injured, and ironically the seemingly miraculous salvation brought up the Nazi leader's popularity among Germans.
Elser was arrested by the Gestapo while trying to cross the Swiss border in Konstanz. Tortured him for some time trying to find a possible connection with British intelligence services, but it seems that Elser at all times maintained that he acted alone. Then locked in the concentration camps of Sachsenhausen and Dachau with the dubious honor of being "Hitler's personal prisoner." For some years his fate was not worse than their peers in the field, which no doubt wondered who would be one particular prisoner who was allowed to have your own workbench. In April 1945, with the Russians at the gates of Berlin, Hitler ordered to kill Elser. It was so seemed that he had died from Allied bombing. He was killed 29 days before Germany surrendered.
Georg Elser's figure has remained half-hidden for many years. He has been denied the recognition given to other fighters against Nazism, as the group white rose or military conspirators July 44. Yet Elser seems the most important of them all the time and circumstances of his act. The military tried to kill Hitler in 44 had from the start by his side, and only when the war was lost came to light that strange morality that characterized them as Anthony Beevor, by which the goodness or badness of an behavior depends on gaining or losing. Members of the white rose, no less heroic than Elser, never had in their hands actually a possibility to change the things that envisioned Esler. His conduct, as opposed to most of his countrymen, should be considered statistically as madness but as what cases it seems very difficult to ascertain who is the madman. If it had not failed, Elser could have saved 50 million lives. Nevertheless, his figure has taken some time to be recognized by the Germans, except in places like Köningsbronn, village where he studied, and where a plaque reminds begins: "By my act, wanted to avoid further spillage of blood. "
