Klingbeil, Pierre-Emmanuel. "Les Alpes-Maritimes : étude d'un front oublié : (15 août 1944-2 mai 1945)." Nice, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003NICE2024.
Full textThis study is a contribution to the commission "Nouvelle Histoire Bataille" set up by the "Centre d'Études d'Histoire de la Défense". The Alpes-Maritimes area, with its limited and unstudied geographical area, appears to be the ideal base for an analysis of a minor front in all its various aspects : geostrategic, geopolitical and operational. By bringing together the methodology and practices of the humanities, and by restoring the actual event over its entire duration, with reference to the past conflict, particular attention is drawn to the history of strategy based on the systematic and intertwined analyses of the various belligerents sources. The strategical analysis of this front can be divided into three parts. The first part deals with the problem of the perception of the geostrategic stake in the Alpes-Maritimes and the subsequent consequences at the time of the Liberation. The second part focuses on the campaign during winter, more particularly on mountain warfare. The study concludes with a new analysis of the French offensive in the spring of 1945

Full textAs soon as the war started, the British actively worked at developing the tactics and techniques required to carry out operations implying the joined participation of the Army, the Navy and the Air force. This thesis aims at retracing and analysing the missions and the evolution of the inter-service cooperation during the first two years of the Combined Operations Headquarters (1940-1942). Before resulting in the first important operation on Dieppe in August 1942, the years 1940 and 1941 were devoted to various reconnaissance operations of the French coast as well as to four political and strategic expeditions to Norway. After the appointment of Mountbatten as head of the service, the main objective of the missions, which had become more important and more offensive, was to improve the methods the three Arms had in common, in order to guarantee the success of such full-size landing operations as the ones in North Africa, Sicily or Normandy

Full textThe final episode of the Second World War on the Western Front took place between June 1944 and May 1945. National Socialist Germany fought the Allies in several theaters of operations, and the strategic situation quickly turned to disaster for the Germans. Despite everything, the “Third Reich” held out until it was militarily destroyed. Although many soldiers were exhausted by the war, the German army did not decompose, and the Western Allies faced a significant resistance until the spring of 1945. This thesis looks at the mechanisms that led the Wehrmacht to a such tenacity in the latter part of the Second World War, especially on the Western Front. This work focuses on the role played by National Socialist ideology in this phenomenon

Full textIn spring 1944, Allied bombing of France was to reach its maximum intensity since the beginning of World War II. Nearly two years after the great turning points in 1942, the military situation was now largely in favour of the Allies. The final defeat of the Third Reich now appeared inevitable. The preparation of OVERLORD, the renewed application of large-scale power on the European continent, faced strategic challenges and required novel techniques. A little-known scientist, Solly Zuckerman, a brilliant zoologist but also a civilian unknown in military circles, persuaded the Allied high command of the validity of his air plan. This “Transportation Plan” proposed to strike decisively at the French railway system in order to disrupt the flow of enemy reinforcements to the Allied beachhead during the landings. Daring by strategic innovation, risky by the obvious threat to French civilians, Zuckerman's plan ran immediately into the hostile scrutiny of the great chiefs of strategic bombing, who were engaged in their almost "private" air campaign against Germany. The issue of civilian casualties brutally shook politicians including Winston Churchill, and ultimately went back to Franklin Roosevelt. Unknown in historiography, the “Transportation Plan” represents a fascinating history of the preparation of the Normandy landings

Full textWednesday, May 15, 1940, in the small Ardennes village of La Horgne, west of Sedan, the troopers of the 3rd [Cavalry] Brigade of Spahis (2nd Regiment of Algerian Spahis from Tlemcen and 2nd Regiment of Moroccan Spahis from Marrakech) try to stop a part of the most modern Panzer-Division of the Wehrmacht. Commemorative History has focused on a 3rd Brigade of Spahis that was simply "annihilated" in about ten hours of fighting, but not before putting out of action a thousand German soldiers. For its part, the scientific History takes into account 50 Spahis and 31 German soldiers killed in action. More than 76 years after the fact, it is more than time to put an end to the legend of the "useless slaughter of 700 Spahis charging German tanks on horseback at La Horgne"

Full textThe Vichy air force was expected to disappear by the armistice conventions. However, the mers el-kebir and the dakar affairs brought it a temporary survival as hitler wanted france to keep a capacity to maintain its neutralism in Africa against the english and the Gaullist attacks. During the 1940-1942 years, the French air force slowly increased its power going through three phases of rearmament due to the military collaboration projects decided first at Montoire, then by the Paris protocols and the Saint Florentin meeting. Fights with allied aircrafts reached their peak with the Syrian affair in may-july 1941 and the allied landings in north Africa on november 8, 1942. Later, the German and Italian armies seized the French aircrafts on the French territory. However, the air force did not disappear but survived as an air defence army tightly controlled by the luftwaffe. At the liberation, after a hasty purge, this air force without planes was amalgamated to the French air force coming from north Africa and together participated to the victory combats. To study the Vichy air force gives elements to understand the Franco-German military relations during the occupation. Most of the all, it allow to better apprehend the adhesion mechanisms to the French state and to its policy of collaboration. The systematic exploitation of the historic department of the French air force archives and of more than two hundred recorded interviews shows how much the idea of collaboration, mainly in the military sector, was concealed by a revenge speech, and even by some underground actions maintaining the illusion of a double game until the end

Full textThe aim of this doctoral thesis is to put an emphasis on the diversity of phenomena related to the presence of American troops from the Liberation until the end of the World war II. Up to now, the landing of the Allied Forces in June 6th 1944 as well as the Battle of Normandy, have been the focus of numerous university publications. Nevertheless, numerous parts of the historical panorama of this region, intermingled with the events, remain unscrutinized. The presence of American troops hinges upon a huge logistic system orchestrated from La Manche ( in the Nord Cotentin ) and more particularly from Cherbourg. This thesis aims at examining this very peculiar military « occupation », derived from the Allied Forces plans called : the Overlord operation, from every angle. At the very beginning, the main objective of Americans is to capture Cherbourg, a deep-water port, as a base to bring more troops and necessary equipments to carry out their « Invasion ». Cherbourg will indeed remain the headquarter of the Normandy Base Section until february 1945. We still need to place the long term settlement of these troops in a context endowed with the political, sociological and economical uncertainties of this period. Considering theses three aspects, we notice that the forced cohabitation of Normans and Americans sometimes highlights the gap between the official history of Franco-American relations and reality. The study of this gap is the true backbone of this thesis. As a matter of fact, the Liberation of Normandy by the Allied Forces in summer 1944 conjures up images of a spontaneous popular jubilation. Yet, a close study of the aforesaid cohabitation falls short of the idyllic images and, on the contrary, reflects a growing deterioration, through time, of human relationships between both groups
