Carl V . Sheridan Carl Vernon Sheridan ( January 5 , 1925 – November 26 , 1944 ) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military ' s highest decoration — the Medal of Honor — for his actions in World War II . Biography . Sheridan joined the Army from his birth city of Baltimore , Maryland in May 1943 , and by November 26 , 1944 was serving as a private first class in Company K , 47th Infantry Regiment , 9th Infantry Division . On that day , at the Frenzenberg Castle in Weisweiler , Germany , Sheridan exposed himself to intense fire in order to blast a hole through the doors of the enemy - held castle with his bazooka . He successfully created a gap in the doors , but was killed after charging through it . He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor six months later , on May 30 , 1945 . Sheridan , aged 19 at his death , was buried in Druid Ridge Cemetery , Pikesville , Maryland . Medal of Honor citation . Private First Class Sheridan ' s official Medal of Honor citation reads : Attached to the 2d Battalion of the 47th Infantry on November 26 , 1944 , for the attack on Frenzenberg Castle , in the vicinity of Weisweiler , Germany , Company K , after an advance of 1 , 000 yards through a shattering barrage of enemy artillery and mortar fire , had captured 2 buildings in the courtyard of the castle but was left with an effective fighting strength of only 35 men . During the advance , Pfc . Sheridan , acting as a bazooka gunner , had braved the enemy fire to stop and procure the additional rockets carried by his ammunition bearer who was wounded . Upon rejoining his company in the captured buildings , he found it in a furious fight with approximately 70 enemy paratrooper s occupying the castle gate house . This was a solidly built stone structure surrounded by a deep water - filled moat 20 feet wide . The only approach to the heavily defended position was across the courtyard and over a drawbridge leading to a barricaded oaken door . Pfc . Sheridan , realizing that his bazooka was the only available weapon with sufficient power to penetrate the heavy oak planking , with complete disregard for his own safety left the protection of the buildings and in the face of heavy and intense small - arms and grenade fire , crossed the courtyard to the drawbridge entrance where he could bring direct fire to bear against the door . Although handicapped by the lack of an assistant , and a constant target for the enemy fire that burst around him , he skillfully and effectively handled his awkward weapon to place two well - aimed rockets into the structure . Observing that the door was only weakened , and realizing that a gap must be made for a successful assault , he loaded his last rocket , took careful aim , and blasted a hole through the heavy planks . Turning to his company he shouted , " Come on , let ' s get them ! " With his . 45 pistol blazing , he charged into the gaping entrance and was killed by the withering fire that met him . The final assault on Frezenberg Castle was made through the gap which Pfc . Sheridan gave his life to create .

Battle of Prilep The Battle of Prilep or Battle of Pirlepe in the First Balkan War took place on November 3 , 1912 . The Serbian army encountered Ottoman troops near the town of Prilep , in today ' s Republic of Macedonia . The clash lasted for three days , and the Ottoman army was overwhelmed and forced to retreat . Bad weather and difficult roads hampered the 1st Army ’ s pursuit of the Ottomans after the battle of Kumanovo , forcing the Morava Division to move ahead of the Drina Division . On 3 November , in the autumn rain , forward elements of the Morava Division encountered fire from Kara Said Pasha ’ s 5th Corps from positions north of Prilep . This started the three - day battle for Prilep , which was broken off that night and was renewed the next morning . When the Drina Division arrived on the battlefield , the Serbs gained an overwhelming advantage , forcing the Ottomans to withdraw south of the city . On 5 November , as the Serbs moved south of Prilep they came again under Ottoman fire from prepared positions on the heights of the road to Bitola . Bayonets and hand grenades gave the Serbs the advantage in hand - to - hand fighting , but they still required the better part of the day to force the Ottomans to retreat . The overt and guileless nature of the Serbian infantry attacks impressed one Ottoman observer , who noted : " The development of the Serbian infantry attack was as open and clear as the execution of a barracks exercise . Large and strong units covered the entire plain . All the Serbian officers were seen clearly . They attacked as if on parade . The picture was very impressive . One part of the Turkish officers were struck dumb by the wonder of this mathematical disposition and order , the other sighed at this moment because of the absence of heavy artillery . They remarked on the arrogance of the open approach and clear frontal attack . " The artillery abandoned in Skoplje would have helped the Ottoman defenders south of Prilep . The Serbs demonstrated the same lack of subtlety in their infantry attacks that caused heavy casualties among all the combatants during the Balkan Wars and would cause many during the First World War . During this battle , the Serbian 1st Army was without the presence of its commanding general , Crown Prince Alexander . Ill from the rigors of the cold and wet campaign , he maintained telephone contact with his army from his sickbed in Skoplje . The short , sharp battles around Prilep demonstrated that the Ottomans were still capable of opposing the Serbian march through Macedonia . Even after abandoning the city of Prilep , the Ottoman 5th Corps fought stubbornly south of town . The size and enthusiasm of the Serbs overcame the Ottomans , but at a cost . The Ottomans suffered around 300 dead and 900 wounded , and 152 were taken prisoner ; the Serbs had losses of around 2 , 000 dead and wounded . The road southwest to Bitola now lay open to the Serbs .

HMS Superb ( 1842 ) HMS " Superb " was a two - deck 80 - gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy , launched on 6 September 1842 at Pembroke Dockyard . She was one of the " Vanguard " class , designed by Sir William Symonds , Surveyor of the Navy and an innovative and controversial naval architect . Each ship of the class was designed with a slightly different hull shape , aiming to optimise speed and handling characteristics . After Commissioning , " Superb " joined the Channel Fleet under the command of Captain Armar Lowry Corry . In February 1845 , she joined the Experimental Squadron of eight ships , four of them built by Symonds . They engaged in three competitive cruises to test Symonds ’ new hull designs against older , traditionally built warships . The whole Squadron was reviewed by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Spithead on 22 June and the trials were completed by December , " Superb " having proved to be the fastest ship in the last cruise . Overall , the results were inconclusive and became mired by political wrangling and professional rivalry , with the result that Symonds resigned . " Superb " took part in further trials the following year with yet more ships , this time called The Squadron of Evolution . The whole project was made irrelevant by the advent of steam propulsion and the " Vanguard " class were some of the last major Royal Navy warships to rely solely on sail propulsion . Returning to duties with the Channel Fleet , she saw action in the Portuguese “ Little Civil War ” or Patuleia in 1847 , as part of a British squadron commanded by Sir William Parker , which was sent to support Queen Maria II . In May , a division of rebel troops commanded by the Conde das Antas was being ferried by sea along the coast , with the aim of securing the mouth of the River Tagus , thus blockading the capital . The convoy was intercepted by the British squadron and ordered to surrender . When Antas refused , boats ’ crews put off from the British warships and boarded and captured all the transports , despite coming under fire from coastal batteries . Some three thousand rebel soldiers were disarmed and held in Fort St Julian under a guard of Royal Marines until relieved by loyal Portuguese troops . In November 1848 , the " Superb " under Captain Edward Purcell joined the Mediterranean Fleet , and continued there until paying off into the reserve at Chatham in June 1852 . " Superb " was broken up in 1869 .
CSS Spray The CSS " Spray " was a steam - powered , side - paddle wheel tugboat built in New Albany , Indiana originally fitted as a mercantile ship before becoming a gunboat in the Confederate States Navy and used in the St . Marks , Newport , Florida area . History . As the civilian " Spray " . In 1850 , Daniel Ladd , a Newport , Florida cotton and general mercantile businessman , purchased the " Spray " for $ 15 , 000 . The " Spray " operated as far south as Cedar Key , Florida , up the Apalachicola River to Columbus , Georgia , up the Suwannee River and west to New Orleans transporting cotton , naval stores , hides , tobacco , beeswax . It first sailed into St . Marks , Florida in 1850 . As CSS " Spray " . As a confederate vessel and refitted , the " Spray " operated in the vicinity of the naval station at St . Marks during 1863 - 1865 , and was the object of much attention by the Federal forces in that vicinity . On September 12 , 1863 , the captain of the " USS Stars and Stripes " reported an unsuccessful attack on the " Spray " up river on the St . Marks River . The " CSS Spray " was said to be the only Confederate States Navy vessel to operate exclusively in Florida waters . In February 1864 , Federal troops in two naval expeditions of 14 ships landed at St . Marks . Their mission was to capture Fort Ward , Port Leon , and burn the nuisance gunboat CSS " Spray " . The mission failed . March 6 , 1865 , the " Spray " participated in the Battle of Natural Bridge with a complement of 25 men . The " Spray " s fate is specious in that it was reported as sunk by Confederates on St . Marks River in a few accounts and yet survived into the early 20th century by the accounts of the Ladd family . Henry Lewis was born in Virginia and appointed to the CSN from Virginia . He was formerly a lieutenant with the U . S . Navy . Lewis also commanded the CSS " Rappahannock " from 1862 to 1863 before taking command of the " Spray " in 1864 .

He was involved in the development of the fighters Saab 35 Draken and Saab 37 Viggen , and later headed R & D at Saab where he designed a number of prototypes , including a rocket propelled interceptor , nuclear weapon carriers , replacements for the Draken and Viggen , and a supersonic business jet .
Flak - Kaserne Ludwigsburg Flak - Kaserne Ludwigsburg was a military barracks , originally belonging to the German Army , and later occupied by the United States Army . It lies in the city of Ludwigsburg , in south - west Germany near Stuttgart . History . Pre - war . Construction began in late 1935 , and by early 1937 members of anti - aircraft unit " Flak - Regiment 25 " began to occupy the site . First to be completed were the barracks and a parade ground . The official opening ceremony took place on 12 September 1936 in the presence of " Oberst " Kolb ( commander of the regiment ) , " Oberst " Heilingbrunner , the " Bürgermeister " of Ludwigsburg Dr . Karl Frank , and other guests . There was a military flypast , and a show was staged in the gymnasium , which included appearances by Zarah Leander and Ilse Werner . Post - war . In April 1945 , French and American troops occupied Ludwigsburg and the barracks commander surrendered . After initial skirmishes the French withdrew from the city , and control of the town was in the hands of Captain ( later Major ) John Lindsay as head of the American military government . From 1945 until 1948 the Flak - Kaserne was used as an internment camp by the U . S . Army and designated I . C . 74 . Among the many leading Nazis held there were the former " Obergruppenführer " Prince August Wilhelm of Prussia , and Ministers Richard Walther Darré and Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk . Between 1948 and 1950 the barracks served as camp for displaced Germans . From 1950 the U . S . Army occupied the barracks , and it served as the headquarters of the 4th Transportation Battalion , and later the 42nd Medical Company . The U . S . Army left the site in 1992 , and ownership was returned to the German Federal government . Redevelopment . After 1992 the barracks remained empty , overgrown and vandalized . Parts of the site were used as a parking lot for truck trailers , and as a training ground for the police . In 2007 , after many years of negotiations with the " Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben " ( " Federal Real Estate Agency " ) the city of Ludwigburg bought the site for approximately €8 . 25 million , and created a new housing development , the " Hartenecker Höhe " . After decontamination , housing for 1 , 600 people was built , and the first residents arrived in late 2009 . All that remains of the former barracks are the gymnasium ( now a kindergarten ) , the officers mess ( now a restaurant ) , the guard house ( now a cafe ) and the main gate .
Wolf Ewert Wolf Ewert ( 31 July 1905 – 16 March 1994 ) was a highly decorated Generalmajor in the Wehrmacht during World War II . He was also a recipient of the Knight ' s Cross of the Iron Cross .

Wolf Ewert was captured by American troops in April 1945 in the Ruhr Pocket and was held until 1947 .
Tsunami bomb The tsunami bomb was an attempt during World War II to develop a tectonic weapon that could create destructive tsunamis . The project commenced after US Navy officer E . A . Gibson noticed small waves generated by explosions used to clear coral reef s . The idea was developed by the United States and New Zealand military in a programme code named Project Seal . Tests were conducted by Professor Thomas Leech , of the University of Auckland , in Whangaparaoa off the coast of Auckland and off New Caledonia between 1944 and 1945 . British and US defence chiefs were eager to see it developed , and it was considered potentially as important as the atomic bomb . It was expected to cause massive damage to coastal cities or coastal defences . The weapon was only tested using small explosions and never on a full scale . 3 , 700 test explosions were conducted over a seven - month period . The tests revealed that a single explosion would not produce a tsunami , but concluded that a line of of explosives about off the coast could create a destructive wave . Details of the experiments codenamed " Project Seal " were released to the public by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in 1999 and are available at Archives New Zealand in Wellington and at the Scripps Institution Of Oceanography Archives in San Diego , California . A 1968 research report sponsored by the US Office of Naval Research addressed this hypothesis of coastal damage due to large explosion - generated waves , and found theoretical and experimental evidence showing it to be relatively inefficient in wave - making potential , with most wave energy dissipated by breaking on the continental shelf before reaching the shore . Analysis of the declassified documents in 1999 by the University of Waikato suggested the weapon would be viable . No specific targets for the weapon were identified , but in 2013 New Zealand broadcaster and author Ray Waru suggested coastal fortifications in Japan ahead of an invasion of the Japanese home islands . Egypt ian magazine " Al - Osboa " claimed that the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami was intentionally caused by a nuclear weapon detonated in a strategic position under the ocean .
