Soldaderas Soldaderas were female soldiers who went into combat alongside men during the Mexican Revolution , which initially broke out in opposition to the conservative , authoritarian Díaz regime . The term is derived from the Spanish word " soldada " which denotes a payment made to the person who provided for a soldier ' s well being . The majority of these women led ordinary lives , but took up arms during the war to fight for freedom . Among the " soldaderas " , Dolores Jiménez y Muro , Margarita Neri , and Hermila Galindo are often considered heroines in contemporary Mexico . Today , the term " La Adelita " is used with pride among Mexican women . " La Adelita " was the title of a Corrido ( folk ballad ) about a soldadera named " Adelita " , and became one of the most beloved songs to come out of the Revolution . However in most cases , the term soldaderas refers to the wives , children , and relatives of the soldiers in the Mexican army . Soldaderas were allowed to follow the army so that soldiers would be less likely to desert . References . < div class = " references - small " > Paul Allatson ( 2007 ) .

SS - Bewerber SS - Bewerber also Staffel - Bewerber ( " SS - Applicant " ) was an SS rank used in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945 . The rank of " SS - Bewerber " was the lowest possible SS rank and was assigned to those personnel who were under consideration for candidacy in the SS . The rank was most often used in the " Allgemeine - SS " as a prelude to appointment as an " SS - Anwärter " . Within the " Allgemeine - SS " , the rank of " SS - Bewerber " was ( more often than not ) used simply as an administrative title while a background investigation was being conducted on a potential SS member . Typically this would involve a criminal history check , political reliability screening , and investigation into the prospective SS member ' s racial background . The rank of " SS - Bewerber " was also occasionally used in the " Waffen - SS " , but merely as a title for an SS recruit who had yet to report for initial in - processing and basic training . An SS - " Bewerber " was rarely issued a uniform or any type of insignia . In the few cases where a uniform was provided , a basic SS uniform would be worn without any insignia .

RLM numbering system for gliders and sailplanes Contrary to the methods used by the Reich Air Ministry ( RLM ) for the allocation of aircraft designations , the designers and manufacturers of sailplanes and gliders in Germany enjoyed the freedom of choosing their own designations for their products up until 1945 . Thus a bird name like " Habicht " could be used , or a number combined with two or more letters , stemming from the designer ' s or factory ' s name , such as DFS , RRG or Göppingen . The RLM only assigned them for every design a separate number , which obviously served the same purposes as that used with aircraft , namely to provide a common basis for an exchange of drawings in the event of an intended production under license by other firms or by clubs , or even single persons and to secure the provision of spare parts . A rigid system of rules for the form and order of drawings was applied . Whereas RLM aircraft designations were prefixed by the number 8 , glider references began with " 108 - " , for example 108 - 53 referred to the DFS Habicht . In a relaxation of the regulations regarding allocation of aircraft designations , the designers and manufacturers of sailplanes and gliders in Germany enjoyed the freedom of choosing their own designations for their products up until 1945 , but some of the more common aircraft were issued RLM designations in the 108 series . Gliders with unknown or not issued RLM desigantor . After the Second World War , gliding was prohibited in Germany , but when the sport began again in 1951 , glider types were allocated a Geräte - Nummer ( Type Approval number ) . New designs were given numbers from 101 , but the following older types used their RLM designation as the Geräte - Nummer :

Anti - submarine missile An anti - submarine missile is a standoff weapon including a rocket designed to rapidly deliver an explosive warhead or homing torpedo from the launch platform to the vicinity of a submarine . History . Depth charge s were the earliest weapons designed for use by ships against submerged submarines . These explosives were initially dropped as the ship moved over the presumed location of a submarine ; but shipboard SONAR was unable to maintain contact with the submarine at close range . Various mortar - type projectors ( including hedgehog and squid ) were devised during World War II to allow a ship to maintain SONAR contact while lobbing explosive charges toward the submarine . During the cold war , rockets were developed to provide greater range with reduced recoil . Some rockets carry homing torpedoes to provide terminal guidance for the warhead .
