SS - Freiwilligen - Grenadier - Division " Langemarck " during World War II . He saw action on the East and the West , finishing the war on the Oder front . Biography . Müller was born in Munich , Bavaria on February 2 , 1902 . He served with the Freikorps in 1920 . Little is known about Müller during the early stages of the war . Between February 1941 and February 1943 Thomas Müller was commander and tactics instructor of the SS - NCO Training School ( Waffen - SS - Unterführerschule ) in Radolfzell . After that , he commanded the 2 . SS - Panzergrenadier - Regiment ( renumbered in October 1943 : SS - Panzergrenadier - Regiment 20 ) of 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen ( February 20 , 1943 - June 29 , 1944 ) . He assumed command of 9th SS Panzer Division for a brief period stretching from June 30 to July 10 , 1944 — one of the bloodiest periods for the division as they tried to stem the incoming British and Canadian soldiers bound for Caen . The Panzer division took an unprecedented 1200 casualties during these weeks . Following this , he briefly took command of a new division Hitler had ordered , the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division , which had been named for Götz von Berlichingen . He only controlled the group as a substitute leader for a brief period in September , after its previous commander , Eduard Deisenhofer , was wounded in fighting and ordered back to Berlin to rest and recuperate . He was replaced by Gustav Mertsch as another temporary commander and finally command passed to Hans Lingner . Apparently then being transferred from the SS to the army , he became a Colonel and received command of the 6th SS Volunteer Sturmbrigade Langemarck immediately following its promotion to a Division of its own , on October 19 , 1944 . This new Division was made possible due to the merging of the Brigade with new Flemish and Finnish volunteers that could be attached to the division . The " Langemarck " acted primarily as support for the German Ardennes offensive , but following the Soviet campaign to capture the Oder River — realizing they couldn ' t hold out any longer , Müller gave his troops the option to surrender to the Allies or try to evade capture on their own . After burning the Division ' s records , Müller and the majority of his men surrendered to the allies at Schwerin .

Although the Kwantung Army was nominally subordinate to the Imperial General Headquarters , its leadership demonstrated significant self - determination , as shown by their independent plot of the assassination of Zhang Zuolin in 1928 . However when Tatekawa arrived in Mukden , he did not prevent the invasion and occupation of Manchuria . Instead , after he informed the Kwantung Army command that Tokyo expressly forbid any action without orders , he purposely got himself drunk until he fell asleep , while the explosion at the South Manchurian Railway tracks took place , starting the Mukden Incident of 1931 . Later on , he justified his failure by stating that he did not arrive on time to stop the plot . After the Mukden Incident , Tatekawa was sent to Switzerland from 1931 - 1932 as member of the Japanese delegation to the Geneva Disarmament Conference . On his return to Japan in 1932 , he was promptly promoted to lieutenant general . From 1932 - 1933 , he served as the Permanent Representative of the Japanese Army to the League of Nations . In 1934 , Tatekawa became commander of the IJA 10th Division , and in 1935 was reassigned to be commander of the IJA 4th Division . He was implicated in the February 26 Incident of 1936 , and was forced into retirement from military service . In 1940 , Tatekawa was appointed as ambassador to the Soviet Union . He played a crucial role in negotiating the Soviet - Japanese Neutrality Pact of 1941 , which was signed only two years after the Soviet - Japanese Border Wars . Tatekawa also brokered a similar neutrality pact between the Mongolian ' s People Republic and Manchukuo . He returned to Japan in 1942 , and died in 1945 .

Zero - length launch The zero - length launch system or zero - length take - off system ( ZLL , ZLTO , ZEL , ZELL ) was a system whereby jet fighters and attack aircraft were intended to be placed on rocket s attached to mobile launch platform s . Most zero length launch experiments took place in the 1950s , during the Cold War . History . The primary advantage of a zero - length launch system is the elimination of the need for a vulnerable airfield for takeoffs . In the event of a sudden attack , air forces could field effective air defenses and launch airstrikes even with their own airbases destroyed . Although launching aircraft using rocket boosters proved to be relatively trouble - free , zero length launch systems still required a conventional runway if the aircraft was expected to land . Bulky mobile launching platforms also proved to be expensive to operate and difficult to transport . Security would also have been an issue with mobile launchers , especially if equipped with nuclear - armed strike fighters . The United States Air Force , Luftwaffe , and the Soviet Air Force all conducted experiments in zero - length launching . The first manned aircraft to be ZELL was an F - 84G in 1955 . The Soviets main interest in ZELL was for point defense air defense of airfields and critical targets using Mig - 19s . All works upon ZELL aircraft were abandoned due to logistical concerns and the increasing efficiency of guided missile s . Manned aircraft involved in ZELL testing . The desire to field combat aircraft without depending on vulnerable landing strips also motivated development of aircraft capable of vertical ( VTOL ) or short ( STOL ) takeoffs or landings . Examples of these include British Hawker Siddeley Harrier , Soviet Yak - 38 ( both serially produced ) and American McDonnell Douglas F - 15 STOL / MTD .
RASIT RASIT ( " radar d ' acquisition et de surveillance terrestre " ) is a ground - surveillance pulse doppler radar developed by Thomson - CSF ( now Thales ) , and fielded by several militaries . The original version of RASIT had a range of 20 kilometers and allowed a skilled operator to distinguish between personnel , vehicles , and aircraft . RASIT operates in the I band and has a peak power of two kilowatts . The system is deployed on vehicles ( although it can be removed from its mount and emplaced on the ground ) and has been used by at least 32 nations . The latest version of RASIT , the RASIT - E , has a range of 40 kilometers . RASIT was developed in the mid - 1970s and over 700 units had been sold by 1996 . The latest RASIT customer is Estonia , where the radar is used for border surveillance .
German submarine U - 470 German submarine " U - 470 " was a Type VIIC U - boat of the Nazi German " Kriegsmarine " built for service in the Second World War . She was a very short - lived vessel , being commissioned in the months following the turning point of the Atlantic campaign and thus into a time in which many U - boats were being lost . The demise of " U - 470 " was especially notable as she was sunk with two of her sisters in a brief melée in the waters of the Western Approaches . Built by the Deutsche Werke shipyards in Kiel , " U - 470 " took a long time to complete , not being ready for initial working - up operations until a year after her construction began . She was given to " Oberleutnant " Günther - Paul Grave , a highly experienced submarine officer , who led her through her training and mechanical trials and readied the boat for her active career , a difficult six month process . War Patrol . " U - 470 " s only war patrol was an unlucky affair . After a difficult passage round the British Isles , " U - 470 " received orders to join and to form a wolfpack to attack Convoy ON - 206 in the Western Approaches to the English Channel . On 16 October , just 18 days after leaving Bergen in Norway , a patrolling aircraft spotted " U - 470 " with her sister boats whilst still a long distance from their targets . The aircraft radioed back to base , and soon a whole swarm of British Royal Air Force B - 24 Liberator bombers from 59 and 120 Squadron s had descended on the trio , who decided to battle it out on the surface rather than dive , which would have made them easy targets for depth charges . Over the course of the next several hours , the Liberators attacked the U - boats again and again , losing two of their number to anti - aircraft fire , one with all aboard and the other with two fatalities amongst the crew . The submarines , however , were suffering much worse , and gradually all three were sunk , " U - 470 " going down with 46 hands including the captain , only two being picked - up later off rafts by allied ships . The aircraft had reported 20 survivors in the water , but many of them did not find buoyancy supports and drowned over the next few hours .
