Battle of the Bulge Timeline By the end of 1944, the Allied advance across Europe was such that the front was held in check at its ends by two large armies - the Canadians and English to the North and the Americans and General Patton to the south. While the Canadian and English forces succeeded in taking the critical port-city of Antwerp from the Germans, the Americans shored up the battle lines and were now targeting the ever-important Rhone River with German territory just beyond. In between the two concentrated forces lay a thin line of some 80,000 Allied troops. The reason for this thin grouping of support was largely explained by its location, this in the thick of the seemingly impenetrable Ardennes Forest. However, Hitler had developed other plans when constructing his Ardennes Offensive. The surprise was unveiled on December 16th, 1944 when the German Army opened up in one of their largest displays of artillery bombardment ever. Both forces inevitably butted heads at the small town of Bastogne.

Invasion of Normandy, June 6, 1944: A Civilian's View Invasion of Normandy, June 6, 1944 A Civilian's View Marie-Louise Osmont lived in a chateau overlooking the Normandy beaches with her husband, a physician. The occupying Germans appropriated the home for their own use after invading France in 1940 but allowed the Osmonts to stay in a few rooms. The house stood near the point on the Normandy coast designated for attack by the British forces - Sword Beach. Marie-Louis kept a diary of her experiences. During the night of June 5-6, 1944, Marie-Louise's sleep is disrupted by the sound of cannon fire and aircraft overhead. "Little by little the gray dawn comes up., but this time around, from the intensity of the aircraft and the cannon an idea springs to mind: landing! In the trench in the farmyard (the one that was dug in 1940) we find three or four Germans: Leo the cook, his helper, and two others, crouching, not proud except for Leo, who stays outside to watch). "Around noon a bit of a lull. "Around six o'clock a lull.
Google Alexej Navalnyj: Partyzán v džungli internetu Mizení státních peněz v kapsách soukromníků a ztrátám vznikajícím při jejich rozdělování se v ruském slangu říká pilování. Odtud pochází také název webových stránek RosPil specializujících se na odhalování korupčních kauz. Založil je právník Alexej Navalnyj (34), podle jehož přesvědčení tahá v Rusku za nitky prostá „banda podvodníků“, kterou by davy dokázaly usměrnit. Jeho cílem je zapojit do kontroly používání veřejných financí širší veřejnost. Býváte přirovnáván k chlapci z pohádky Hanse Christiana Andersena, který vykřikl, že král je nahý. … a nezapomínejme také na to, že podle některých byl fenomén Navalnyj vybudován cíleně vládnoucí mocí a já jsem považován za agenta Kremlu. Ačkoliv bychom mohli dále pokračovat, zeptám se raději vás samotného, kdo je vlastně Alexej Navalnyj? Svůj význam a popularitu příliš nepřeceňuji. Je mi jasné, že mě můžou pro pravdu i zavřít do vězení, ale myslím, že bojuji za správnou věc Jaký máte názor na Vladimira Putina? Hm.

The Battle of the Bulge: July 1944-January 1945" On July 20, 1944, young German colonel Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg, a wounded veteran of the Tunisian campaign of World War II, attended Hitler's morning briefing at the Rastenberg headquarters in East Prussia while carrying a time bomb in a briefcase. He left the case under the heavy oak table at which Hitler was standing and found an excuse to leave. A few minutes later, the bomb exploded -- but not before another officer, finding it in his way, had kicked the case farther under the table. The assassination attempt coincided with a sudden crisis in the German war effort. After weeks of preparation and with overwhelming air support, U.S. general Omar Bradley launched Operation Cobra on July 25. A second landing in southern France began on August 15, and within two weeks the enemy was cleared from the rest of France, meaning the Allies stood on the frontiers of Nazi Germany. In the East, Soviet Union troops reached the German border on August 17.

Normandy Invasion, June 1944 On 6 June 1944 the Western Allies landed in northern France, opening the long-awaited "Second Front" against Adolf Hitler's Germany. Though they had been fighting in mainland Italy for some nine months, the Normandy invasion was in a strategically more important region, setting the stage to drive the Germans from France and ultimately destroy the National Socialist regime. It had been four long years since France had been overrun and the British compelled to leave continental Europe, three since Hitler had attacked the Soviet Union and two and a half since the United States had formally entered the struggle. After an often seemingly hopeless fight, beginning in late 1942 the Germans had been stopped and forced into slow retreat in eastern Europe, defeated in North Africa and confronted in Italy. U.S. and British bombers had visited ruin on the enemy's industrial cities. Schemes for a return to France, long in preparation, were now feasible. Commanded by U.S.
