Operation Kremlin Operation Kremlin ( " Fall Kreml " in German ) was a successful German deception operation against Soviet forces in May – June 1942 . After German troops captured the city of Kharkov in October 1941 , the German High Command planned an offensive to destroy the Soviet forces toward the southern sector of the Eastern Front . To divert the attention of the Soviets from that thrust ( which would lead to the Battle of Stalingrad ) , on May 29 , 1942 , the High Command ordered " the earliest possible resumption of the attack on Moscow " by Army Group Centre . Two factors made Operation Kremlin plausible to the Soviet High Command ( the Stavka ) : first , it coincided with Soviet thinking — which the Germans did not know ; second , its premise — to simulate a repeat of the late 1941 drive to Moscow — had a firm foundation . In fact , it arguably made more strategic sense than the actual offensive ( Operation Blau ) , which was directed at the oil fields in southern Russia . The directive given to the Army Group , which assigned two panzer divisions the identical missions that they had received in the previous autumn , could have been taken for the real thing , even those German officers who were in the know , and most of them were kept in the dark , which even made it more believable . As part of Operation Kremlin , the Luftwaffe increased reconnaissance flights over and around Moscow , officers in charge of prisoner - of - war interrogations were given lists of questions to ask regarding Moscow ' s defenses , and sealed packets of Moscow maps were distributed down to regimental level . A readiness date of August 1 was planned . Although postwar Soviet accounts insisted Operation Kremlin had failed , the Soviet High Command and the General Staff were in fact misled by the deception ; Joseph Stalin and top Soviet generals had no doubt that the Germans would launch another offensive on Moscow in mid - 1942 . On June 28 , Operation Blau began . References . Ziemke , Earl F . and Magna E . Bauer . " Moscow to Stalingrad : Decision in the East " . Washington , DC : Government Printing Office , 1987 .

Battle of Boksum The Battle of Boksum ( 17 January 1586 ) was a battle during the Eighty Years ' War between a Spanish and a Dutch rebel army ( largely composed of Frisia ns ) commanded by Steen Maltesen , a Danish officer . On 13 January 1586 a Spanish Army of about 3 , 000 soldiers and 700 horsemen invaded Frisia . In the absence of William Louis , Count of Nassau - Dillenburg , a nephew of William of Orange and the stadtholder of Frisia , the Spanish commander Francisco Verdugo , who was based in Groningen hoped to reclaim the territory for Spain . Because of freezing weather , the Frisian lakes were no obstacles to the invasion and the Spanish artillery could move easily over the hard roads . After looting part of Frisia , Verdugo decided to retreat because thawing weather threatened to cut him off from his base in Groningen . In the meanwhile , the Frisians gathered an army with a core of professional soldiers and a larger number of Frisian volunteers . Maltesen decided to entrench at the village of Boksum . Spanish cavalry coming out of the fog surprised the rebel force in their half - finished entrenchments on the morning of 17 January . The rebels panicked and their army disintegrated . The total amount of deaths of this battle is estimated to have been around 1 , 000 . Spanish losses were very low . Because the rising temperatures turned the roads into swamps , the Spanish force eventually left all their loot and some of their heavy arms behind when they retreaded to their base in Groningen .
Podao The Chinese weapon known as the [ " podao " ] pudao ( ; / ; ) was originally an edged infantry weapon which is still used for training in many Chinese martial arts . The blade of a pudao [ " podao " ] is shaped like a Chinese broadsword , but the weapon has a longer handle usually around one and a half to two meters ( about four to six feet ) which is circular in cross section . It looks somewhat similar to the guandao . The pudao is sometimes called a horse - cutter sword since it is speculated to have been used to slice the legs out from under a horse during battle { cf . zhanmadao } . It is somewhat analogous to the Japanese nagamaki , although the nagamaki sword may have been developed independently . Looking at the standards of its design , the pudao is also equivalent to the Korean hyeopdo .
Amazonian Guard The Amazonian Guard ( also " the Amazons " ) was an unofficial name given by Western journalists to an all - female elite cadre of bodyguards officially known as ( " al - rāhibāt al - thawriyyāt " ) " The Revolutionary Nuns " , and sometimes also unofficially called " the Green Nuns " , tasked with protecting the late , former leader of Libya , Muammar Gaddafi . Formation . The group was formed in the early 1980s , after Gaddafi ' s official resignation as Libyan head of state in favour of the title of " Brotherly Leader and Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Great Socialist People ' s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya " . According to Joseph T . Stanik , Gaddafi reportedly employed a cadre of female bodyguards because he believed that an Arab gunman would have difficulty firing at women . However , it has also been submitted by other authors that Gaddafi ' s female bodyguards were , in reality , just an aspect of the dictator ' s well - known eccentric showmanship and his fondness of surrounding himself with young women . Gaddafi would usually travel with 15 of his Amazonian Guards assigned to security or housekeeping . Training . Candidates for the Amazonian Guard underwent extensive firearms and martial arts training at a special academy , were required to take an oath of chastity , and had to have been hand - picked by Gaddafi himself . Members of this bodyguard were allowed privileges such as dressing in Western - style fatigues and wearing makeup , or displaying Western hair styles and high heels . Incidents . In 1998 , one of Gaddafi ' s female bodyguards was killed and seven others were wounded when Islamic fundamentalists in Libya ambushed Gaddafi ' s motorcade . It was claimed that the dead guard , Aisha , was Gaddafi ' s favourite and threw herself across Gaddafi ' s body to stop the bullets . In November 2006 , as Gaddafi arrived at Abuja Airport in Nigeria , with a 200 - strong troop of heavily armed bodyguards , a diplomatic incident was caused as security officials tried to disarm them . Gaddafi furiously walked away , gesturing that he intended to cover the 40 km journey to the capital on foot , and could only be persuaded to yield after intervention by Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo , who by chance happened to be at the airport . During the Libyan civil war , many were " hunted down " ( raped , tortured , murdered ) in retaliation for their role in executing rebel soldiers . Abuse claims . In the latter days of the Libyan Civil War , accusations emerged from five members of the Amazonian Guard of rape and other abuse by the upper echelons of the Gaddafi government , which typically ranged from Gaddafi himself , to his sons , to high officials . Some Amazonian Guards have also claimed that they were forced to execute rebels or be killed themselves .
