Eric Pleasants Eric Pleasants ( 1911 – 1998 ) was a British citizen during World War II who defected to serve in the Waffen - SS . Pleasants attended school in Norwich to age 14 , then worked variously as trainee electrician , forester , boxer , wrestler and then showman weight - lifter in Britain and continental Europe . In late 1939 he joined the Merchant Navy as a " compromise " between military call - up and distaste for war . He served on a freighter bringing potatoes from Jersey to Southampton , but overstayed his time ashore on the island , missed his boat , and was caught there when the Channel Islands were occupied by the German Army in July 1940 . He obtained temporary farm work as a potato picker , but also began stealing from empty properties , resulting in arrest and prosecution in the Magistrates ' Court , and eventual deportation by the German occupying authorities first to an internment camp in France , and eventually to Germany . In Germany he chose to join the Waffen SS , and became an " SS - Schütze " in the British Free Corps which in 1944 became a foreign legion of the Waffen - SS . He claimed to have been invited to join the German broadcasting service from Berlin to Allied and neutral countries , and , in this connection , to have met William Joyce and John Amery , and to have discussed with them the possibilities of charges of treason . He claimed also to have " slept with " Joyce ' s wife , Eileen . Pleasants deserted from the Waffen - SS in 1945 and went into hiding . Captured by the Red Army in 1946 , he was imprisoned in a GULAG along the arctic circle before being repatriated to England in about 1952 . No action was taken against him by the British authorities , although he was apparently interviewed . Pleasants ' autobiography was ghost - written by Eddie Chapman ( a British safe - breaker whom he befriended in German custody ) under the title " I Killed to Live – The Story of Eric Pleasants as told to Eddie Chapman " , Cassell & Co , 1957 . Another version appears to have been edited by Ian Sayer and Douglas Botting and published posthumously as " Hitler ' s Bastard : Through Hell and Back in Nazi Germany and Stalin ' s Russia " , 2003 .
Tsybin RSR The Tsybin RSR ( " Reactivnyi Strategicheskii Razvedchik " ) was a Soviet design for an advanced , long - range , Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft . Development and design . In 1954 , the design bureau headed by Pavel Tsybin started development of a ramjet powered strategic supersonic bomber , the RS . This design proved impracticable , and a smaller derivative , the 2RS was proposed , which would achieve intercontinental range by being air launch ed from a modified Tupolev Tu - 95 bomber . This too was unsuccessful , with the aircraft unable to return to base if used on an intercontinental mission , while being incapable of carrying a thermonuclear bomb . The design was therefore revised again to a reconnaissance aircraft capable of operating from conventional runways , the RSR . As ramjets could not be used for take - off , they were replaced by turbofans . The RSR was primarily of aluminium construction , with a long circular section fuselage , which housed a pressure cabin for the pilot together with cameras and fuel , with thin , low aspect ratio trapezoidal wings . The engines , two Soloviev D - 21 turbofans , were mounted at the tips of the wings . The aircraft had a bicycle undercarriage , with outriggers under the engine nacelles . It was planned to cruise at greater than Mach 2 at a height of 20 , 000 m ( 65 , 600 ft ) giving a range of . A simplified , full sized aerodynamic prototype for the novel layout , the NM - 1 was built in 1957 . Intended for low - speed handling tests , the NM - 1 had a steel - tube fuselage with duralumin and plywood skinning . This aircraft , powered by two Mikulin AM - 5 turbojets first flew on 7 April 1959 . Based on the results of these trials , the RSR was redesigned ( as the R - 020 ) to make it more manoeuvrable at high altitude ( it was proposed to carry out barrel rolls to avoid Surface - to - air missile s , reaching a maximum altitude of 42 , 000 m ( 138 , 000 ft ) during the manoeuvre ) . More conventional Tumansky R - 11 turbojets ( the engine used in the MiG - 21 ) replaced the unavailable Soloviev turbofans . Five R - 020 airframes were virtually complete , only awaiting engines by April 1961 , with another 10 planned when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev cancelled the program .

Battle of Cutanda The Battle of Cutanda or Batalla de Cutanda was a battle in June of the year 1120 between the forces of Alfonso I the Battler and an army led by Ibrahim ibn Yusuf occurring in a place called Cutanda , near Calamocha ( Teruel ) , in which the Almoravid army was defeated by the combined forces , mainly of Aragon and Navarre . Alfonso I was aided by William IX the Troubadour , duke of Aquitaine . After this battle , the Aragonese king was able to capture the fortified towns of Calatayud and Daroca .
Battle of Chmielnik The Battle of Chmielnik occurred on 18 March 1241 during the Mongol invasion of Poland . It ended in the defeat of the Polish armies of Sandomierz and Kraków provinces . The Mongols were able to move unimpeded , and plunder the abandoned city of Kraków . Background . The Mongols invaded Poland in early 1240 , and were advancing westwards . The Poles had already suffered a defeat ( battle of Tursko ) , and the Mongol forces split into two or three armies , the main of which , under Baidar , was heading towards Kraków ( Cracow ) , a large city ( and capital of the fragmented Polish Kingdom ) in central - southern Poland ( two other Mongol commanders , Kadan and Orda Khan , were advancing more to the north ) . Battle . Details of the battle were recorded in the chronicles of Jan Długosz . Incidentally , the oldest mention of the town Chmielnik dates to the battle . In 1241 , it was a village ( Chmielnik would gain city rights only in mid - 16th century ) . Polish forces were commanded by Włodzimierz , voivode ( palatine ) of Kraków , and Pakosław , voivode of Sandomierz , and represented most of Polish knights from those two provinces ( the Kraków Province , also known as the Seniorate Province , and the Sandomierz Province ) of fragmented Poland . The Mongols were commanded by Baidar . The Duke of Kraków , Bolesław V the Chaste , withdrew prior to the battle and did not participate . Bolesław ' s escape damaged the morale of the army , and caused many others to withdraw as well , weakening the forces available to Włodzimierz and Pakosław . While the Polish forces had the advantage in the first phase of the battle , the Mongols , seeing that they would not defeat the Poles in straight combat , feigned a retreat . When the Polish forces begun to pursue them , they were hit by the Mongols ' reinforcements and defeated comprehensively . Polish casualties were very heavy ( Norman Davies wrote : " At Chmielnik , the assembled nobility of Malopolska perished to a man " ) ; Włodzimierz and Pakosław were slain . Aftermath . With the defeat of the Polish army , panic spread through the nearby Polish lands . Kraków , one of the largest and most prosperous cities of Poland , was abandoned , as inhabitants fled , and the Mongols spent several days pillaging it and the neighboring hamlets ( accounts vary on how soon after the battle Mongols entered the city , but it is certain they burned it by March 24 ) . In the modern town of Chmielnik there is a monument dedicated to this battle .
Subedar Subedar is a historical rank in the Indian Army , ranking below British commissioned officer s and above non - commissioned officer s . The rank was otherwise equivalent to a British lieutenant and was introduced in the East India Company ' s presidency armies , ( the Bengal Army , the Madras Army and the Bombay Army ) to make it easier for British officers to communicate with native troops . It was thus essential for subedars to be fluent in English . History . In the Mughal Empire and the Maratha Empire , the subahdar was the governor of a province . During the British Government it was named as the second highest rank of enlisted Indian soldiers with commanding powers over the Indian troops . Until 1858 , subedars wore two epaulette s with small bullion fringes on each shoulder . After 1858 , they wore two crossed golden swords , or , in the Gurkha regiments , two crossed golden kukris , on each collar of a tunic or else on the right breast of their kurta s . After 1900 , subedars wore two pips on each shoulder . A red - yellow - red ribbon was introduced under each pip after the Great War . After the Second World War , this ribbon was moved to lie between the shoulder title and the rank insignia ( two brass stars on both shoulders ) . A subedar is senior to a naib subedar and junior to a subedar major . Until 1866 , the rank was the highest a non - European Indian could achieve in the armies of British India . A subedar ' s authority was confined to other Indian troops , and he could not command British troops . Before the 1947 Partition of India and the independence of India and Pakistan , subedars were known as Viceroy ' s commissioned officer s . After 1947 this term was changed to ' junior commissioned officer s ' . After independence . After independence , which came in 1947 with the Partition of India , the former Indian Army was divided between India and Pakistan . In the Pakistan Army , the rank has been retained , but the ribbon is now red - green - red . After Bangladesh separated from Pakistan , the Bangladesh Army also retained the rank , changing the ribbon colours to red - purple - red , but in Bangladesh the title of subedar was changed in 1999 to senior warrant officer . Hyderabad State . During the Rule of the Nizams in Hyderabad the top of the administrator / tax revenue collector hierarchy was Subedar which had responsibility for the largest divisions of the country i . e . ( the Princely State of Hyderabad ) and below him the rank or official title of lower division post holder was Tehsildar and below that rank the Taluqdar , so in effect it could be equated to the three tier ranking from province administrator to county administrator to district administrator in size from the largest to smallest . Thdese are further divided into villages , under a Village officer .
Battle of Saalfeld The Battle of Saalfeld ( 10 October 1806 ) saw Marshal Lannes and a division of his V Corps defeat 8 , 300 Prussia ns under Prince Louis Ferdinand . Battle . Prince Louis Ferdinand was one of the principal advocates of resuming war against the French . The French did not have the means to force battle , and the Prussians could have joined their larger forces in nearby Jena , but Prince Louis , apparently ignorant that Lannes ' s division on the field was but part of his forces ( the rest were coming up ) and that alone outnumbered him , chose to take a stand on the field . Prince Louis positioned his men on low ground outside the town , with their back to the river , and against the French who were attacking down hill . Lannes and General Suchet had noticed the Prussians had their back to the river , and estimated the Prussian forces to only be about half the size of V Corps . Lannes battered them with cannon for a bit and when they showed signs of disorganization he ordered a charge by his infantry whilst sending a unit against the flank . Pinned and outnumbered by the French , the Prussian infantry soon began to break under the flank attack and were driven in disorganization under the walls of Saalfeld . Belatedly seeing his mistake , trying to relieve the pressure Prince Louis put himself at the head of his cavalry and charged the advancing French on the flank . The charge was repulsed and the Prince found himself in close combat with Guindet , quartermaster of the French 10th Hussars , who offered the Prince quarter . Refusing to surrender , the Prince merely replied with a slash to the man ' s face causing a severe wound , but was run through and killed by the counter blow of the Quartermaster , dying immediately . The Prussians lost 400 killed and wounded and 20 guns . Over 1 , 000 were captured including General Bevilaqua , commander of the Saxon forces . Aftermath . Four days after Saalfeld , the twin battles of Jena and Auerstedt took place on the plateau west of the river Saale . Although the war went on for another seven months , the decisive defeat suffered by the Prussia n army resulted in Prussia ' s effective elimination from the anti - French coalition up until the liberation war of 1813 .
Advanced Affordable Turbine Engine The Advanced Affordable Turbine Engine ( AATE ) program is a United States Army project to develop an improved engine for use in many Army helicopters . Program history . Advanced Affordable Turbine Engine ( AATE ) program is a project of the U . S . Army ' s Aviation Applied Technology Directorate and is intended to validate technologies needed to achieve the aggressive performance goals of the Army ' s Improved Turbine Engine Program ( ITEP ) . The AATE program is under the larger research and development umbrella of the Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engines ( VAATE ) program . While the new 3 , 000 - shp engine is being developed to provide a 50 percent increase in power , the program is also targeting improved specific fuel consumption by 25 percent , reduced production and maintenance costs by 35 percent and a 20 percent longer engine life . The program began in 2006 . In July 2009 , the U . S . Army released a request for information signaling a new program , the " Improved Turbine Engine Program " ( ITEP ) . This solicitation is the first step in developing an engine that that uses the advancements and research the AATE program started . The engine developed for ITEP is to be a drop - in replacement for the General Electric T700 engine that currently powers the AH - 64 Apache and the UH - 60 Black Hawk . The program seeks to realize the goals set by the AATE program , as well as meet more specific goals , such as improving lift capability for the AH - 64 and the UH - 60 in hot climates and high altitudes as well as increasing aircraft mission radius by as much as 500 km . Both GE Aviation and the Advanced Turbine Engine Company ( ATEC ) are developing engines for this program , the GE3000 and the HPW3000 respectively . ATEC is a 50 / 50 joint venture created in 2007 between Honeywell Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney Military Engines . Both competitors are looking to carry out both durability and performance demonstration testing throughout 2012 as the four - and - a - half year S & T phase concludes . ATEC completed a Core Engine ( High Pressure system only ) test in mid - 2011 on the HPW3000 and recently completed Gas Generator ( both High and Low Pressure systems ) testing in January 2012 . The HPW3000 has been reported to be a two - spool engine that can start with or without an auxiliary power unit ( APU ) . The GE3000 engine is also reported to have the ability to perform an APU - less start .
Alexander Dutov Alexander Ilyich Dutov ( ) ( 1879 — 1921 ) , one of the leaders of the Cossack counterrevolution in the Urals , Lieutenant General ( 1919 ) . Dutov was born in Kazalinsk ( now Kazaly in Kazakhstan ) . He graduated from Nikolayev cavalry School , and Nikolayev Engineering Institute , now Military engineering - technical university ( Russian ) , and General Staff Academy ( 1908 ) . He was Assistant Commander of the Cossack regiment during World War I . After the February Revolution , Dutov was appointed head of the All - Russian Cossack Army Union , then Chairman of the counterevolutionary All - Russian Cossack Congress ( June , 1917 ) , and then Chief of the Army Administration and ataman of the Orenburg Cossack Army ( September ) . In November , Dutov raised a revolt against the Soviet authorities in Orenburg . In June 1918 , Dutov with the help of the Czech Legion organized a struggle for complete termination of the Soviet authority in the Urals . He was in charge of the Detached Orenburg Army in Aleksandr Kolchak ' s army . In 1919 he tried to convince General Seminkoff to join him as a stronger force to fight the Red Army . General Seminkoff refused despite a significant diplomatic effort from Governor Vasile Balabanov claiming he was governor only since the provisional government in St Petersburg collapsed in the revolution . In 1920 General Dutov helped a number of Russian leaders including Vasile Balabanov , the Administrator of Semirechye to escape to China . After his army ' s defeat by Red Army , Dutov escaped to China , where he was assassinated in Suiding by a Bolshevik agent Мahmud Khadzhamirov ( " Махмуд Хаджамиров " ) in February 1921 .
Otto Fönnekold Otto Fönnekold ( 15 February 1920 – 31 August 1944 ) was a " Luftwaffe " flying ace of World War II . A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat .
