Hans von Ahlfen Hans von Ahlfen ( 20 February 1897 – 11 September 1966 ) was a General in the German army in World War II . He was the commandant of ' Fortress Breslau ' at the beginning of the siege of the city in 1945 when it was surrounded by Soviet forces and was later the author of several books and articles providing an analysis of events and accounts of his wartime experiences . Early career . He was born in Berlin and joined the army in October 1914 as an officer cadet . He served in World War I as a leutnant in an engineer battalion and as a commander of armoured trains . Between the wars he was retained in the Reichswehr , serving mostly with the 2nd Pioneer Battalion , before becoming an instructor at the Military Academy in August 1935 and he had a military textbook entitled " Service with the Pioneers " published in 1937 . World War II . At the outbreak of World War II he was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army . He was given command of a motorised pioneer battalion , serving on the eastern front and in Norway . On 30 January 1945 von Ahlfen was promoted to Major General and appointed by Field Marshal Ferdinand Schörner as the commandant of the city of Breslau which Adolf Hitler had declared in August 1944 to be a ‘ fortress ’ , to be defended at all costs . He was soon in conflict with the gauleiter of the city Karl Hanke who had been declared Breslau ’ s “ battle commander ” by Hitler . Hanke advocated a breakout using parachute troops which Ahlfen did not consider realistic and he also disagreed with him on several other issues , including the construction of an auxiliary airstrip that would be less vulnerable to attack . On the orders of Schörner and at the instigation of Hanke he was replaced as commandant by General of the Infantry Hermann Niehoff on 8 March 1945 . Great loss of life and destruction then followed during the Siege of Breslau as Soviet forces sought to capture the city which held out for two months defended partly by elderly volkssturm home guard and boys from the Hitler Youth , with little defence against air attacks . Postwar author . Ahlfen was captured by the Western Allies on 17 April 1945 whilst serving with Army Group B as General of Pioneers and was released from captivity on 30 June 1947 . He then wrote " The battle of the fortress Breslau " ( published by Ernst Siegfried mediator , 1957 ) . In the next few years he worked with Hermann Niehoff , his successor as the commander of Fortress Breslau to continue with this topic . In 1959 they jointly published the book " So fought Breslau " ( Graefe and Unzer Verlag , 1959 ) , which was a big commercial success , and a year later , a second expanded edition followed . In " Battle for Silesia " ( Graefe and Unzer Verlag , 1961 ) Ahlfen considered the wider conflict in 1945 . He died in Oberndorf am Neckar aged 69 in 1966 .

Andromeda - class attack cargo ship An " Andromeda " class attack cargo ship was an amphibious cargo ship built by Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co . in Kearny , New Jersey and Moore Dry Dock Co . , in Oakland , California ; during World War II . Like all attack cargo ships , they were designed to carry combat loaded military cargo and landing craft , and to use the latter to land weapons , supplies , and troops on enemy shores during amphibious operations . All these ships were built on the same standard hull design , but there were some differences from ship to ship . The armament varied , as did that of the other ships of the day . During 1944 - 1945 , the 5 " / 38 was recognized as the best gun for the dual role of antiaircraft and naval gunfire support , and the 40 mm was seen as the best antiaircraft gun . The older 20 mm and . 50 caliber guns had been recognized to be of limited value , and were being phased out , though they appeared on some of these ships . The 20 mm ' s were later removed from all of them , but it is not clear just when this happened . The complement varied as well , but the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships figures sometimes seem to confuse ship ' s company with embarked troops in determining a ship ' s complement .

Third Battle of the Isonzo The Third Battle of the Isonzo was fought from October 18 through November 3 of 1915 between the armies of Italy and Austria - Hungary . Background . After roughly two and a half months of reprieve to recuperate from the casualties incurred from frontal assaults from the First and Second Battle of the Isonzo , Luigi Cadorna , Italian commander - in - chief , understood that artillery played a fundamental role on the front and brought the total number to 1 , 200 pieces . The main objectives were to take the Austro - Hungarian bridgeheads at Bovec ( Plezzo in Italian ) and Tolmin , if possible the town of Gorizia . Cadorna ' s tactic , of deploying his forces evenly along the entire Soča ( Isonzo ) , proved indecisive . The Austro - Hungarians took advantage of the relatively small areas of attack to concentrate their firepower on those areas . Battle . Thanks to extensive artillery barrages , the Italians were able to advance to Plave ( Plava in Italian ) near Kanal ob Soči , beneath the southern end of the Banjšice Plateau ( Bainsizza ) , and on Mount San Michele on the Kras plateau in an attempt to outflank those forces defending Gorizia . The plateau near San Michele was the scene of heavy attacks and counterattacks involving the Italian Third Army and Austro - Hungarian reinforcements from the Eastern and Balkan fronts under the command of Svetozar Boroević ; both sides suffering heavy casualties . Thanks to the low profile held by Boroević ' s forces , the Austrians were able to hold their positions with heavy casualties , inferior however to those of the Italians . This battle showed Boroević ' s tactical brilliance despite the limited scope of the campaign . The lull in action lasted barely two weeks after which the Italian offensive started anew .
Battle of Wogastisburg According to the contemporary " Chronicle of Fredegar " , the battle of Wogastisburg was a battle between Slavs ( " Sclav , cognomento Winidi " ) under King Samo and Franks under King Dagobert I in 631 . The Frankish armies advanced into the area of the Slavic tribal union in three streams - Alamanni , Lombards , and Austrasian Franks . The first two were quite successful , but the main fighting force was defeated in a three - day battle near Wogastisburg . The site of the battle cannot be successfully located because the source , Fredegar ' s chronicle , gives no geographical specifications . Thus a lot of places claim to be connected with the battle ( usually based on linguistic parallels and some excavations ) , such as Rubín hill near Podbořany ( Bohemia ) , Úhošť hill near Kadaň ( Bohemia ) , Bratislava ( Slovakia ) , Trenčín ( Slovakia ) , Beckov ( Slovakia ) , Váh river = Voga ( Slovakia ) , Staffelberg near Bad Staffelstein ( Upper Franconia ) , Burk near Forchheim ( Upper Franconia ) , Vienna , and other places along the middle Danube etc . In fact , there is no conclusive evidence for any of these locations and it is even possible that the term Wogastisburg referred only to a kind of a temporary encampment rather than a permanent settlement , in which case establishing a definite location would be impossible .
