Arthur Rödl Arthur Rödl ( 13 June 1898 in Munich – April 1945 in Stettin ) was a German " Standartenführer " ( Colonel ) in the Waffen - SS and a Nazi concentration camp commandant . Rödl was born into a Catholic family , his father working as a messenger and his mother running a newsstand . The stand closed when Rödl was ten and he was told by his mother that it had shut down as she could not compete with a nearby stand run by a Jew . The incident helped to instill a sense of anti - Semitism in the young Rödl , who was involved in extreme nationalist groups from an early age . Rödl was apprenticed to a blacksmith when World War I broke out . He soon enlisted in the German Imperial Army by forging his age on his documents after initially being rejected for being only 16 . He was injured seriously at least once during the war and was demobbed at the age of 20 , eventually working for the post office . Rödl also quickly return to far right activism and joined the Bund Oberland in 1920 . His activities brought him frequent reprimands at work , for taking time off to travel with other Bund members to fighting with Poles in Upper Silesia to using his window at the post office to hand out propaganda leaflets . When it became clear that he had participated in the Beer Hall putsch he was dismissed by the post office . By this time a member of the Nazi Party , Rödl sought employment at the party ' s Brown House headquarters where he found a job as a mimeograph operator . He volunteered for the SS in 1928 and in 1934 was switched to a full - time member of the organisation . He served with the SS - Totenkopfverbände , initially at Lichtenburg and then at Sachsenhausen , although he found advancement difficult as he was seen by his SS superiors as naive and unsubtle . Rödl was noted for his brusque manner , an attribute that was less than ideal for an SS man at Sachsenhausen because it sometimes hosted overseas dignitaries because of its proximity to Berlin . For this reason Theodor Eicke recommended Rödl ' s removal from his position in 1937 . Rödl finally began to rise through the ranks following a transfer to Buchenwald , where he was deputy to commandant Karl - Otto Koch . In this role he was given a largely free hand to indulge his cruel side , with Koch placing no restrictions on his men ' s actions . An example of this occurred late on 1 January 1939 when he lined up the inmates at Buchenwald , picked five at random and had them stripped , tied to posts and whipped until morning in tune with the prisoner orchestra . Eventually he was given command of the Gross - Rosen concentration camp , although he was not suited to the role . One of his successors Johannes Hassebroek commented that he was a " cruel , corrupt and drunken man " . He ultimately reached the rank of Standartenführer despite consistently testing for low intelligence . Wilhelm Gideon replaced him as camp commandant on 16 September 1942 . He ended his service in Ukraine as part of the occupation police before committing suicide with a hand grenade when defeat for Nazi Germany looked inevitable .
Bezděz Castle Bezděz Castle ( ) is a Gothic castle located some 20 km southeast of Česká Lípa , in the Liberec Region , Northern Bohemia , Czech Republic . Its construction began before 1264 by order of Přemysl Otakar II . The royal castle of Bezděz was one of the most important Gothic castles in the Czech lands until its destruction in the Thirty Years ' War . Erected between 1260 – 1280 on the phonolite hill of Velký Bezděz , 604 m above sea level , it became the characteristic dominant feature of the local landscape and met the demands for an inaccessible as well as respectable royal castle . History . A year after Přemysl ’ s death , the castle Bezděz , which was still unfinished , became the place of imprisonment of Queen Kunhuta and her underage son Václav II , kept under lock and key in very spartan conditions by Wenceslas ' s guardian Ota Braniborský , Margrave of Brandenburg , after the Battle on the Marchfeld . The boy , only 6 or 7 at the time , remained there alone when his mother escaped under a pretext and it is widely accepted that the place left its mark on him . As an adult , and ruling monarch , he returned to Bezděz to order the construction of a chapel , one of the best preserved areas of the castle today . The castle complex was completed during the reign of Wenceslas II , who used the local forests very frequently for hunting and relaxation . It served for this purpose until the Thirty Years ' War when , as part of the round of confiscations after the Battle of the White Mountain , it fell into the hands of Albrecht of Wallenstein . The famous general started turning the castle into a fortress in 1623 , but then halted the construction work . In 1627 he decided that it should be rebuilt into a monastery for the Benedictines from Montserrat , who later brought a copy of the Virgin of Montserrat ( the Black Madonna ) in 1666 , making the castle a pilgrimage site for years to come . In 1686 Stations of the Cross were built along the path to the castle and the whole complex served for religious purposes until 1785 , when the monastery was dissolved on the orders of Josef II . Pilgrimages were banned and the castle became forlorn , slowly becoming dilapidated . The Romantic Movement ' s passion for medieval monuments helped preserve the castle , which is a sole preserved example of an unaltered castle of the 13th century . Parts that are accessible to visitors are the castle precincts including the royal palace , burgrave ' s house and the unique early Gothic Chapel . The castle tower offers a stunning view of the surrounding landscape . The castle ’ s romantic silhouette gave rise to many legends and inspired a great number of writers , artists and composers , the most famous of whom included the poet Karel Hynek Mácha and the composer Bedřich Smetana . The nearby pleasure lake , dominated by the silhouette of the castle , bears his name , Lake Mácha ( ) .

She moved to Montevideo in October 1914 and later led cruisers at the Battle of the Falkland Islands on 8 December 1914 . In March 1915 , after repairs were completed at Rio de Janeiro for tears to her plating , she continued to serve on the North American and West Indies Station until November 1918 . In 1919 she served as a cadets ' training ship until sold in March 1921 and broken up on 8 November 1921 .
Opheim Air Force Station Opheim Air Force Station ( ADC ID : P - 26 , NORAD ID : Z - 26 ) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located west of Opheim , Montana . It was closed in 1979 . History . In late 1951 Air Defense Command selected Opheim , Montana as one of twenty - eight radar stations built as part of the second segment of the permanent radar surveillance network . Prompted by the start of the Korean War , on July 11 , 1950 , the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the second segment of the permanent network . Receiving the Defense Secretary ’ s approval on July 21 , the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction . On 1 March 1951 the 779th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was activated at Opheim AFS with AN / FPS - 3 and AN / FPS - 4 radars , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . An AN / GPS - 3 radar operated between 1957 and 1961 . In 1958 and 1959 AN / FPS - 6 and AN / FPS - 6A radars replaced the AN / FPS - 4 height - finder radar . The AN / FPS - 3 left service in 1960 , and was replaced by an AN / FPS - 7 C search radar . During 1961 Opheim AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , initially feeding data to DC - 20 at Malmstrom AFB , Montana . After joining , the squadron was re - designated as the 779th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 15 July 1961 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . In 1963 the squadron operated the AN / FPS - 7C search radar along with AN / FPS - 26 A and AN / FPS - 90 height - finder radars . On 31 July 1963 , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 26 . The AN / FPS - 90 was damaged by a fire in 1966 , but was repaired ; it was removed some time in the early 1970s . In addition to the main facility , Opheim operated two AN / FPS - 14 Gap Filler sites : Over the years , the equipment at the station was upgraded or modified to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the information gathered by the radars . Opheim AFS ceased operations on 1 June 1979 as part of the inactivation of Aerospace Defense Command . The 779th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) was inactivated on 29 September 1979 . Today , the former Opheim Air Force Station is abandoned and largely obliterated . Most of the Air Force buildings have been razed , their foundations remain . A few buildings still stand derelict .

Alexander Shuvalov Count Aleksandr Ivanovich Shuvalov ( 1710 – 1771 ) was a Russia n statesman from the Shuvalov family . His career was dependent on and overshadowed by that of his more brilliant brother , Pyotr Ivanovich Shuvalov . The Shuvalov brothers were two sons of a general who commanded the castle of Vyborg and governed Arkhangelsk during the reign of Empress Anna . They were the closest aides to Elizabeth Petrovna during the 1741 coup d ' etat that brought her to the throne . Alexander , in particular , persuaded many of his fellow imperial guards to join Elizabeth ' s cause . He was rewarded for his allegiance with the rank of in 1741 and the title of count in 1746 . For many years Shuvalov presided over the Secret Chancellory , a sort of political police whose victims included his personal enemies , Field - Marshals Bestuzhev and Apraksin . By the end of Elizabeth ' s reign , the Shuvalovs successfully eliminated all their political rivals and virtually monopolized state power . They also flirted with the future Peter III of Russia , hoping to retain their positions after his eventual accession to the throne . Their intrigues succeeded in 1761 when Peter III assumed the throne and promoted both Shuvalovs to Field Marshal s , although they had never taken part in any war . But their careers were undone within a year , as the throne was usurped by Peter ' s wife Catherine , who detested the Shuvalovs for their pernicious influence on her husband and even accused in her memoirs Alexander Shuvalov of plotting to murder her . Thereupon Shuvalov retired from service and withdrew to his villages . His only daughter was the wife of Count Golovkin .
