Operation Nordlicht ( 1942 ) Operation Nordlicht ( " Northern Light " ) was devised by the German high command , the " Oberkommando des Heeres " ( " High Command of the Army " ) after a year - long battle for Leningrad when Adolf Hitler ordered a final assault on the besieged city . The main objective of the operation was to capture Leningrad using forces of Army Group North under Field Marshal Georg von Küchler , and thereby bring an end to the siege and free up hundreds of thousands of troops . Meanwhile , the Germans were also preparing for the Battle of Stalingrad . Both attacks on Leningrad in the North and on Stalingrad in the South were synchronized by the Germans so as to confuse the Soviets . Operation Nordlicht was to begin on 23 August 1942 with a massive artillery bombardment of Leningrad , following with aerial bombardments by the Luftwaffe . But when the Soviets launched the Sinyavino Offensive on 19 August , the forces that were intended to be used for Nordlicht were transferred from the planned offensive to the defense of the German lines . Although the Sinyavino Offensive was a failure , it caused the Germans to cancel their operation and they were never able to launch an offensive against Leningrad again .
43rd Infantry Brigade ( United Kingdom ) The 43rd Infantry Brigade , now 43 ( Wessex ) Brigade , is a brigade of the British Army . History . The brigade was originally created during World War I as part of the 14th ( Light ) Division . It was reformed as a Lines of Communication security force in North Africa during the Second World War . The brigade was redesignated on 9 November 1943 as the 40th Infantry Division for deception purposes . The brigade was in Sicily for " internal security duties on lines of communications " . The battalions of the brigade ( 30th Battalion , Somerset Light Infantry , 30 Royal Norfolk and 30 Dorset ) " were given brigade designations ; and every effort was made to appear to be a division . This included the adoption of a divisional sign featuring the diamond and acord of the Great War 40th Div . ; these were made up locally and worn on uniform by the personnel of the ' division ' - in reality , three battalions of low medical category men armed with personal weapons only and with a skeleton compliment of transport . " ( Chappell , p . 23 ) The brigade was disbanded , still in Sicily , in June 1944 . In 1985 43rd ( Wessex ) Brigade was formed as one of the new one star Headquarters principally as a National Defence Brigade commanding the Territorial Army in the south west of England . Due to its south - west location , it assumed the history and badge of the 43rd ( Wessex ) Infantry Division rather than the old 43rd Infantry Brigade . In 1995 the restructuring programme within the British Army saw an increase in the brigade ' s responsibility to include regional and budgetary aspects working to a new superior headquarters - 3rd Division . The Strategic Defence Review of 1998 further increased the brigade ' s responsibility and as from 1 April 1999 came under the command of Headquarters 4th Division , and moved from Exeter to Bulford in September 1999 to establish the new Headquarters 43rd ( Wessex ) Brigade . 43 ( Wessex ) Brigade was transferred to 4th Division on 1 April 2007 , and then came under Support Command in late 2011 . Future . This Brigade is not listed under the Army 2020 plan .
Bracer A bracer ( or arm - guard ) is a strap or sheath , commonly made of leather , stone , or plastic that covers the inside of an archer ' s arm to protect it while shooting . Bracers protect the inside of the archer ' s forearm against injury by the string of the bow or the fletching of the arrow . They also prevent loose clothing from catching the bow string . They normally cover part of the forearm only , but chest - guards are sometimes worn , usually by female archers , and other areas have at times been protected . With some combinations of non - baggy clothing and bows with a larger distance between the bow and the string , the archer may not need to wear any bracer . Decorated bracers . The modern Navajo people and Hopi have developed bracers known as " " ketoh " , " which are decorated with silver , turquoise , and other adornments , possibly from earlier examples made of bone . Ketohs usually have a central motif , sometimes with a stone ornament , and four curvilinear shapes that radiate toward the corners . Ketohs may have a smooth leather surface on the inside of the arm and are functional , but they are normally used as items of personal and ritual adornment , or as works of art in their own right . Stone wrist - guard s from Beaker culture graves of the European Bronze Age have been thought to be archery bracers . However , they are usually found on the outside of the arm where they would have been more conspicuous . Many have only two holes which would make them difficult to fasten securely to the arm , and some have projecting rivets which would catch on the bow string and make them unsuitable for use as a bracer . Many show great skill in polishing and stone working , and few are found in areas from which their stone originates . When the objects occur in barrow s , they always occur in the central primary grave , a place thought to be reserved for heads of family and other important people . They may have been status symbols of prowess in hunting or war , probably mounted as decorations on functional bracers . A few prehistoric wrist - guards made of gold or amber have also been found ; scholars believe these were for ornamental rather than functional use . A review of British bracers by Hunter , Woodward " et al . " looks in detail at all the British bracers , identifying two major sources of stone from which they are made and suggesting that they may well not be connected with archery , and highlighting other potential uses .
Lyndonville Air Force Station Lyndonville Air Force Station ( ADC ID : M - 103 ) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located northeast of Lyndonville , Vermont . It was closed in 1963 . History . Initially known as North Concord AFS , the station was part of the planned deployment of forty - four Mobile radar stations by Air Defense Command in 1952 to provide protection for Strategic Air Command Bases and to support the permanent deployment of the seventy - five stations of the ADC radar network around the perimeter of the country . This deployment had been projected to be operational by mid - 1952 . Funding , constant site changes , construction , and equipment delivery delayed deployment . North Concord became operational on 1 March 1956 when the 911th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron activated AN / MPS - 11 and AN / MPS - 14 radars , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . In 1958 an AN / FPS - 6 A height - finder radar joined the site . In 1959 the 911th briefly operated an AN / FPS - 3 radar . During 1959 North Concord AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , feeding data to DC - 05 at Topsham AFS , Maine . After joining , the squadron was redesignated as the 911th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 1 October 1959 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . In August 1962 the station was switched to the SAGE Data Center DC - 02 at Stewart AFB , New York . On 1 March 1962 the station was renamed Lyndonville AFS , and later that year new radar towers were constructed to house an AN / FPS - 27 search radar and an AN / FPS - 26 height - finder radar . In early 1963 the AN / FPS - 26 radar was installed . However , in March 1963 the Air Force ordered the site to close . The AN / FPS - 27 installation was then cancelled . Operations ceased on 1 August 1963 . Today , the site sits abandoned with all of its towers still standing , and many buildings in various states of disrepair but still intact . The housing area is currently in use , in fact , the town of East Haven , Vermont ( 5 . 8 mi East ) , has grown up around it . Air Force units and assignments . Units . Assignments : External links .

Suvorov Museum Suvorov Memorial Museum ( Russian : Музей Суворова ) in Saint Petersburg , Russia , is a military museum dedicated to the memory of Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov ( 1729 - 1800 ) . It was founded in 1900 to commemorate the centenary of Suvorov ' s death and was inaugurated four years later , on the 175th anniversary of Suvorov ' s birth , with much pageantry , in the presence of Emperor Nicholas II . In 1904 , the museum moved into the present building , purpose - built to a flamboyant design by Alexander von Hohen in a dramatic Russian Revival style . The building ' s austere outlook derives primarily from medieval Muscovite military architecture . Apart from the Suvorov family coat of arms and signs of military glory , the facade displays two mosaics representing " Suvorov Leaving Russia for Italy in 1799 " and " Suvorov Crossing the Alps " . The museum ' s collections , exceeding 100 , 000 items in 2002 , were acquired through purchase and private donations . The Communist authorities had the museum closed down in 1919 and the collections were dispersed to other museums . In the 1930s , the building housed the AeroMuseum . During the Siege of Leningrad , it was damaged by a bomb . During the Great Patriotic War the respect of Suvorov was restored in the Soviet military . As a consequence , the museum building was renovated in 1950 and resumed its activity the following year . The latest restoration was undertaken in 1995 - 2000 .

Shakujii castle Shakujii castle ( 石神井城 , " - jō " ) was a Japanese castle located along the Shakujii River , in what is now Shakujii Park , in Tokyo ' s Nerima . The history of the inheritance of the feudal territory associated with it is the most clearly known of all territories in what is today Tokyo . The castle was strategically placed along the Shakujii River , near Sanbō - tera Pond , to control and defend the river valley . Though there may have been another similar fortification erected nearby during the Heian period ( 794 - 1185 ) , it is likely that the last incarnation of Shakujii castle was first built after the Kamakura period ( 1185 - 1333 ) . A dam was built around the same time , a short distance from the castle , at a spot selected by a diviner , to block the waterway . The castle lasted into the Muromachi period ( 1336 - 1467 ) , and was controlled by the Toshima clan who , supported by Kanrei ( Shogun ' s deputy ) Ashikaga Mochiuji , were in their prime during the rebellion of Uesugi Zenshū , which lasted from 1415 - 1417 . However , roughly forty years later , the Toshima took part in the 1477 Kyōtoku Rebellion , supporting the uprising of Nagao Kageharu . Toshima Yasutsune led the forces of Shakujii castle and nearby Nerima castle to reinforce his brother Toshima Yasuaki , who was attacked at Hiratsuka castle . They were defeated by the army of Ōta Dōkan , a vassal of the Uesugi clan , who put down the rebellion . The Toshima then fled to Kozukue Castle , but were defeated there as well , and Shakujii castle was destroyed a short time later . Recently , attempts have been made to restore the castle . However , there is very little remaining above ground , and even based on what digging has revealed , it has been difficult to determine the exact location , size , and extent of the fortifications and the moat .
