Question: In what year did the Third Reich's best defensive tactical commander plan Operation Herbstnebel?
Context: Avalanche Press's Third Reich/Great Pacific War series is a strategic level board wargame of World War II.  The series consists of two boxed games ("Third Reich" and "The Great Pacific War"), one supplement ("Third Reich/Great Pacific War Player's Guide"), and an enlarged map, with one more future supplement ("Rumors of War"). A defensive coordinator is a member of the coaching staff of a gridiron football team who is in charge of the defense.  Generally, along with the offensive coordinator, he represents the second level of command structure after the head coach.  The defensive coordinator is generally in charge of managing all defensive players and assistant coaches, of developing a general defensive game plan, and of calling the plays for the defense during the game.  At higher levels of football (college and professional), the defensive coordinator typically has a number of assistant coaches working under him who are responsible for the various defensive positions on the team (such as defensive line, linebackers, or defensive backs).  You can look to the links under references for some of the best defensive coordinators in history according to Bleacher report.  John Chavis (American football) and Jeremy Pruitt are among two of the great college defensive coordinators in recent history.  There are Also many NFL greats that can be found in the references.  People like Wade Phillips and Vic Fangio are among the NFL greats at defensive coordinator.  Determining how good a defensive coordinator is has to do with a number of things such as defensive statistics, the type of attitude their players took to the field and also what other coaches and players had to say about them. Pension administration in the United States is the act of performing various types of yearly service on an organizational retirement plan, such as a 401(k), profit sharing plan, defined benefit plan, or cash balance plan.  Increasingly these plan types are also being implemented in combination arrangements for greater contribution potential, such as the pairing of a cash balance plan with some variety of 401(k).  The basic purpose of Pension Administration is to ensure that an organizational retirement plan does not discriminate against the lower level employees while also ensuring that the plan is not used as an abusive tax shelter.  Stress tests include the average benefits test, Average Deferral Percentage, and minimum coverage.  Yearly pension administration work involves filing a Form 5500 with the Internal Revenue Service.  There are several professional designations available to those who perform this work, such as those offered by the National Institute of Pension Administrators and the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries.  Pension Administration firms more often than not rely on financial brokers (or financial advisors) for their business prospects, although they do have other referral sources.  Some pension administration firms carry out the financial advisory work within an internal unit of their own company, as well as accepting referrals from an independent broker network.  Examples of firms with which these brokers are associated are Raymond James, Edward Jones Investments and Morgan Stanley.  The brokers may be employees of these firms or independent contractors.  The plan assets of the organizational retirement plans in question sometimes reside on a trading platform controlled by the administration firm.  But more often than not the assets are held by large financial institutions who provide a variety of investment options for plan participants.  Examples of large firms in this market space are Principal Financial Group, John Hancock Insurance, ING Group and Mass Mutual, although there are many others.  Plans which contain over one-hundred participants must perform an independent audit each year, necessitating yearly coordination with representatives of a public accounting firm.  In cases where a defined benefit plan is being managed the pension administration firm must employ an actuary to certify the plan's present and future benefit liabilities and compliance with minimum funding standards set by the IRS.  Pension administration firms with a large block of defined benefit plans often employ an actuary directly.  But they may also retain the actuary as an independent contractor, and this is almost certain to be the arrangement in cases where the pension administration firm only works on a small collection of defined benefit plans.  The actuary completes contribution calculations for the plan and provides a Schedule SB so that the yearly Form 5500 may be completed.  Without this Schedule the yearly filing for a defined benefit plan would be incomplete.  In addition to the Internal Revenue Service, organizational retirement plan operation and maintenance falls under the regulation of the United States Department of Labor. The Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award is awarded annually to the best defensive player at each fielding position in Major League Baseball.  One overall Defensive Player of the Year is also selected each year.  Unlike the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, which are voted on by major league managers and coaches, the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award winners are determined by statistics using sabermetrics.  In 2012, the baseball glove manufacturer Wilson created the Defensive Player of the Year Award to honor the best defensive player on each team in Major League Baseball.  One award winner was selected from each league as that league's overall Defensive Player of the Year.  Starting in 2014, the awards are given to the best defensive player at each position, regardless of league, and the overall award is given to only one player, regardless of league.  Also in 2014, a new award was created for the best Defensive Team of the Year, regardless of league. The Fourth Reich (German: "Viertes Reich" ) is a hypothetical future German empire that is the successor to Nazi Germany (1933–1945).  The term Third Reich was coined by Arthur Moeller van den Bruck as the title of his 1923 book "Das Dritte Reich".  It was used by the Nazis for propaganda purposes to legitimize their regime as a successor state to the retroactively-renamed First Reich (the Holy Roman Empire, 962–1806) and the Second Reich (Imperial Germany, 1871–1918).  The terms "First Reich" and "Second Reich" were never used by historians. Advanced Third Reich (A3R - 1992) is a board wargame originally designed by Bruce Harper as a simulation of the European and African theatres of World War II.  The game was published by Avalon Hill, who then sold the license to Hasbro, and was marketed as "the ultimate World War II strategy game".  "Advanced Third Reich" is a rewrite of "Rise and Decline of the Third Reich" (1974), incorporating and developing many suggestions which had been published in "The General" since the early 1980s, improving ease of play and historical realism. Otto Moritz Walter Model (] ; 24 January 1891 – 21 April 1945) was a German field marshal during World War II.  He is noted for his defensive battles in the latter half of the war, mostly on the Eastern Front but also in the west.  He has been called the Third Reich's best defensive tactical commander. Unternehmen Herbstnebel ("Operation Autumn Mist") was an offensive planned by German Field Marshal Walter Model and his Army Group B operational staff in late 1944 during World War II.  It envisaged a German Army attack targeting the Allied forces in eastern Belgium and Luxembourg, east of the Meuse River. The Reichsautobahn system was the beginning of the German autobahns under the Third Reich.  There had been previous plans for controlled-access highways in Germany under the Weimar Republic, and two had been built, but long-distance highways had not been successfully built.  After previously opposing plans for a highway network, the Nazis embraced them after coming to power and presented the project as Hitler's own idea.  They were termed "Adolf Hitler's roads" (German: "die Straßen Adolf Hitlers" ) and presented as a major contribution to the reduction of unemployment.  Other reasons for the project included: enabling Germans to explore and appreciate their country, and there was a strong aesthetic element to the execution of the project under the Third Reich; military applications, although to a lesser extent than has often been thought; a permanent monument to the Third Reich, often compared to the pyramids; and general promotion of motoring as a modernization that in itself had military applications. Wing leader, or wing commander (flying), denotes the tactical commander of a Commonwealth military wing on flying operations.  The terms refer to a position, not a rank, although the role was usually taken by an officer ranked wing commander.  The position was also distinct from the commanding officer of the wing, generally a higher-ranked officer.  The first wing leaders were appointed in 1941, and the position remained in use until the 1960s.
