Battle of Zhongdu The Battle of Zhongdu ( present - day Beijing ) was a battle in 1215 between the Mongols and the Jurchen Jin Dynasty , which controlled northern China . It saw the Mongols win and allowed them to continue their conquest of China . The year 1211 marked the beginning of the war between the Mongols and the Jin Dynasty . The Jin Dynasty was able to hold Genghis Khan ( Temüjin ) and his Mongol army at bay for the first two years of the war . Throughout this time however , Temüjin continued to build his forces and by 1213 had an army so powerful that they conquered all of the Jin territory up to the Great Wall of China . From this strategic location , Temüjin made the decision to split up his forces into three smaller armies in an attempt to break through the wall and finish his conquest of China ; with the exception of the Southern Song . He sent his brother , Kasar , as the head of one of these armies east into Manchuria . He sent another army south toward Shanxi under command of his three oldest sons . Temüjin led the third army , along with his son Tuli , towards Shandong . The plan was a success as all three armies broke through the wall in different places . According to Ivar Lissner the besieged inhabitants resorted firing on the Mongols with their muzzeloading cannons by using gold and silver cannon shot as ammunition after their supply of metal ran out . The battle for Beijing was long and tiresome , but the Mongols proved to be more powerful as they finally took the city on 1 June 1215 , massacring its inhabitants . This forced the Jin Emperor Xuanzong to move his capital south to Kaifeng , and opened the Yellow River valley to further Mongol ravages .

Egon Zill Egon Zill ( born 28 March 1906 in Plauen - died 23 October 1974 in Dachau ) was a German Schutzstaffel Sturmbannführer and concentration camp commandant . The son of a brewer from Plauen , Zill ' s father was severely injured in the First World War and as such Zill was apprenticed to a baker at an early age in order to bring in much needed money to the family . As a 17 year old Zill enlisted in both the Nazi Party and the Sturmabteilung , switching to the SS as soon as it came to his hometown ( in fact Zill was the 535 member of the SS nationally ) . Zill would later work as a security guard in a curtain factory and it was not until 1934 that he became a full - time SS man , serving as a guard at a minor concentration camp at Chemnitz . From this low beginning Zill began to rise through the ranks at the camps . His first appointment at a major camp was at Lichtenburg where he , along with fellow future commandant Arthur Rödl , guarded the camp borders . He moved between camps , seeing service at Dachau , Ravensbrück and Hinzert in various capacities . His first commandant role was at Natzweiler - Struthof before taking charge at Flossenbürg . As a commandant Zill expected his guards to act with the discipline of soldiers whilst also supporting the idea that camp inmates who had been indoctrinated into Nazism should be allowed to fight for Nazi Germany in return for their freedom . His regime as a commandant was also marked by extreme cruelty and according to the testimonies of inmates Zill ' s crimes included tying prisoners to trees before allowing his dogs to savage their genitalia . Zill was replaced in April 1943 by Max Kögel after being judged ineffective as a commandant . The move followed letters of complaint to Fritz Sauckel from the villagers about the high standards of living enjoyed by camp guards and their wives in contrast to the impoverished standards in the village , as well as a culture of corruption amongst the guards . He was transferred to the Eastern Front in 1943 . Nicknamed ' little Zill ' because of his short stature he went to ground after the Second World War but revealed himself when he put his real name on the birth certificate of an illegitimate child . Sentenced to life imprisonment by a Munich court the sentence was reduced on appeal to fifteen years in 1955 . Following his release Zill settled in Dachau where he died in 1974 .

Breed ' s Hill Breed ' s Hill is a glacial drumlin located in the Charlestown section of Boston , Massachusetts . It is best known as the location where in 1775 , early in the American Revolutionary War , most of the fighting in the Battle of Bunker Hill took place . Much of the hill is now occupied by residential construction , but the summit area is the location of the Bunker Hill Monument and other memorials commemorating the battle . Geography . Breed ' s Hill is a glacial drumlin in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston , Massachusetts . It is located in the southern portion of the Charlestown Peninsula , an historically oval , but now more roughly triangular , peninsula that was originally connected to Cambridge in colonial times by an artificial causeway . In the 18th and 19th centuries the peninsula ' s shape and connections to other landforms were significantly altered , with the waters of the Charles River between Cambridge and Charlestown heavily filled in . The hill itself is about high , and is topped by Monument Square , site of the Bunker Hill Monument . The hill slopes fairly steeply to the east and west . In addition to its historic sites and tourist - oriented facilities , the hill is the site of a great deal of residential property , as well as supporting municipal and retail infrastructure . It is about from Bunker Hill . History . The Americans , having caught word of a British plan to fortify the Charlestown peninsula , decided to get to the peninsula first , fortify it , and present sufficient threat to cause the British to leave Boston . On June 16 , 1775 , under the leadership of General Putnam and Colonel Prescott , the Americans stole out onto the Charlestown Peninsula with instructions to establish defensive positions on Bunker Hill . A redoubt , a small and usually temporary defensive fortification , was constructed on nearby Breed ' s Hill , probably due to its closer proximity to Boston compared to Bunker Hill . The next morning , June 17 , the British were astonished to see the rebel fortifications upon the hill and set out to reclaim the peninsula . The resulting conflict was called the Battle of Bunker Hill because that is where Prescott originally intended — and was ordered — to build the fortifications . Also , some people considered Breed ' s Hill a part of Bunker Hill , while others called it Charlestown Hill . [ 4 ] In 1825 , the Bunker Hill Monument Association began construction of the Bunker Hill Monument , acquiring of land for the purpose .
