Talk:Battle of Thermopylae/Archive 1

message: It is my understanding that the 300 Spartan hoplites mentioned in the article were not unique to Leonidas or the battle of Thermopylae. It is based upon the number of Spartan solders allowed to the Spartan king as a personal bodyguard, exisiting well prior to Leonidas and often holding a position in the middle of the Spartan phalanx. Since they were to serve as a bodyguard, they were under the control of the king, who did not need approval of the Council or the Ephors for their use. The Spartans had two kings, and since I do not have my reference books with me, I am uncertain as to whether or not both kings were each allow this body guard or if it served both. 
The confusion comes from Leonidas' use of his bodyguard at Thermopylae. He had originally asked for the entire Spartan army to march, but this was reject by the Council. They gave as their reason that the Spartans were currently celebrating their festival of the Carnia; which was most likely an excuse. With the rejection that the whole army march, Leonidas decided to march with the 300 members of his bodyguard as he could do this without violating Spartan law. 
The bodyguard was not a "sire only" unit. Leonidas specifically replaced members of his bodyguard prior to his march toward Thermoplae so as to only include those with a living male heir because of his interpretation of the Oracle's prophecy. This indicates that while the 300 members of the bodyguard that marched to Thermopylae may have been a "sire only" unit, that was not the normal state of affairs for the bodyguard.
Please note that prior to Thermopylae there had been another contingent of Greek troops that had marched to a site further north, but this site was rejected well prior to Leonidas' march as it was not considered defensible.  and then the spartans won.

"During the whole period from the beginning of "VERITABLE" until the German withdrawal east of the Rhine, First Canadian Army captured 22,239 prisoners, and our Intelligence estimated the enemy's loss in killed and "long-term wounded" at 22,000. On the Ninth U.S. Army's front the parallel figures were 29,739 prisoners and 16,000 other casualties. Thus the two armies' converging operations had cost the Germans, according to our best figures, approximately 90,000 men"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.192.127.100 (talk) 03:20, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Surprisingly terrible article, even by Wikipedia's standards, on a major and decisive Allied offensive. 43rd Wessex Division's successful advance to Goch isn't even there. And the stuff about the flooding of the Roer valley, because the Americans didn't capture the controlling dam in time, is mentioned without any suggestion of its relevance -- it was well south of the Veritable area, but it meant that Operation Grenade by US Ninth Army, which was supposed to support Veritable and kick off two days later, was postponed by two weeks because the Ninth couldn't cross till the floodwaters subsided, leaving the British and Canadians to do all the work. When Grenade did belatedly launch, it encountered minimal losses against not many enemy, and was useful in terms of manoeuvre, but the actual fighting and reduction of opposition had already been done further north.
