In the German merchant marine , the word Bootsmann means boatswain . The position , however , is not filled anymore on most German ships ; his work has usually been taken over by the " Schiffsbetriebsmeister " ( literally : master of ship operations ) .

Battle of Kałuszyn The Battle of Kałuszyn , took place between September 11 and September 12 , 1939 , in the fields before the town of Kałuszyn near Mińsk Mazowiecki . Prelude . Following the " battle for the borders " , the forces of Gen . Wincenty Kowalski started a steady withdrawal and delaying actions in the area to the north - east of Warsaw . Following the battles of Pułtusk and Różan , the Polish 1st Legions Infantry Division reinforced by the units of the Wyszków Operational Group arrived to the area of Mińsk Mazowiecki . However , they were overrun by the German forces of the German 11th Infantry Division , who managed to take the town and surround the Polish forces . Battle . The Polish aim was to retake the town and break through the German encirclement before panzer reinforcements arrived and enemy resistance stiffened . After a short preparation , the battle started overnight with a Polish assault on the villages surrounding the town . The Polish forces managed to break through the positions of the enemy 44th Infantry Regiment , which was disorganized and had underestimated the Polish forces still present in the area . At one point the commander of the Polish 6th Legion ' s Infantry Regiment ordered the 4th squadron of the Polish 11th Uhlans Regiment to advance towards the town itself . The order was mistakenly understood as an order of a cavalry charge and the squadron , numbering 85 men at arms and commanded by Lt . Andrzej Żyliński , rushed towards the enemy positions with their sabres and rifles . In the effect of the accidental charge the Poles broke through to the town , despite suffering significant casualties ( 33 dead out of the 85 Uhlans who took part in the charge ) . The Polish infantry followed into the breach in the German defences and by the early morning the town was liberated and the German division sent in retreat . Aftermath . Losses on both sides were significant . The commanding officer of 44th regiment , Maj . Krawutschke , committed suicide . In the course of the heavy fighting , the town was almost completely destroyed . Most of the substantial Jewish population of the town was deported to the Warsaw ghetto or Treblinka . After the end of World War II , the battle of Kałuszyn was one of 24 battles of the Polish Defensive War to be featured at the Tomb of Unknown Soldier in Warsaw .

Hundred Days Men The Hundred Days Men was the nickname applied to a series of volunteer regiment s raised in 1864 for 100 - days service in the Union Army during the height of the American Civil War . These short - term , lightly trained troops freed veteran units from routine duty to allow them to go to the front lines for combat purposes . Background . In the spring of 1864 , the Governor of Ohio , John Brough , was concerned with preventing Confederate invasions of the North , as Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan ' s cavalry raid of Ohio had done during 1863 . As the Civil War entered its third year , troops were increasingly difficult to raise both North and South . In the North , substantial bounties were offered to induce enlistment and the unpopular draft and substitute system was used to meet quotas . Brough proposed to enlist the state militia into federal service for a period of 100 days to provide short - term troops that would serve as guards , laborers , and rear echelon soldiers to free more veteran units for combat duty . This would increase the number of men in the Northern armies campaigning in the South and allowing the Union to achieve victory more quickly — hopefully in one hundred or fewer days . Brough expanded the idea and contacted the governors of Indiana , Illinois , Iowa , Wisconsin , and New Jersey to do likewise to raise 100 , 000 men to offer the Lincoln Administration . The governors of these five states submitted their suggestion to Secretary of War Edwin M . Stanton , who placed the proposal before President Abraham Lincoln . Lincoln immediately approved the plan . Formation and history . The War Department accepted all of Ohio ' s recruits , and the men were ready for duty within sixteen days of enlistment . Although other states brought in a total of around 25 , 000 men , only Ohio came close to its goal , federalizing close to 36 , 000 militiamen . Even when the system later spread to other Northern states , a total of only about 81 , 000 men was raised for a 100 - day period . These veterans became known as Hundred Days Men . Unfortunately for the North , these men failed to accomplish their primary objective — defeating the South within one hundred days .
