German Military Tactics / / Blitzkrieg

Image
A German term for “lightning war,” blitzkrieg is a military tactic designed to create disorganization among enemy forces through the use of mobile forces and locally concentrated firepower. Its successful execution results in short military campaigns, which preserves human lives and limits the expenditure of artillery. German forces tried out the blitzkrieg in Poland in 1939 before successfully employing the tactic with invasions of Belgium, the Netherlands and France in 1940. The blitzkrieg was also used by German commander Erwin Rommel during the North African campaign of World War II, and adopted by U.S. General George Patton for his army’s European operations. Conventional wisdom traces blitzkrieg, “lightning war,” to the development in Germany between 1918 and 1939 of a body of doctrine using mobility to prevent repetition of the attritional deadlock of World War I. Soldiers such as Hans von Seeckt and Heinz Guderian allegedly perceived more clearly than their counterpart...

Melawan Romawi

Image
  "Jangan membunuh perempuan, bayi, tuna netra serta anak-anak. Jangan menghancurkan rumah-rumah atau menebangi pohon." Kata-kata itu diucapkan oleh Rasul. Tiga ribu pasukan pilihannya telah beranjak meninggalkan Madinah. Muhammad mengantarkan mereka sampai keluar kota. Mereka hendak melaksanakan misi suci. Muhammad secara khusus berdoa buat mereka. "Tuhan menyertai dan melindungi kamu sekalian. Semoga kembali dengan selamat." Para prajurit itu bergemuruh menuju utara, ke arah Syam. Syam. Syria sekarang. Sudah lama Muhammad mengincar kawasan ini untuk dakwahnya. Wilayah ini berada di jalur utama perdagangan dunia saat itu, Cina-Eropa. Di Syam pula jalur itu bercabang menuju jazirah Arab dan Yaman, serta menuju Mesir dan seluruh wilayah di Afrika. Maka Rasulullah beberapa kali mengirim misi dakwah ke arah itu. Salah satu misi tersebut adalah ke Dathut Thalha, perbatasan Syam. Muhammad mengirim 15 orang sahabatnya untuk mengajar Islam. Namun mereka...

Ana Carrasco becomes first female rider to win motorbike world title

Image
The Spaniard moved to the fledgling WSS300 series last year following stints in the Moto3 world championship, becoming the first female rider to score points in the class as well as the Moto2 class of the CEV Championship. Carrasco took a historic debut win for a female rider in world championship motorcycle racing in Portugal last year, and made more history after a dominant victory at Imola this season when she took the lead of the championship. Following up her Imola win with another dominant display at Donington, Carrasco struggled in the following rounds at Brno, Misano and Portimao, but still entered the finale at Magny-Cours with a 10-point advantage over DS Junior Team teammate Scott Deroue. Qualifying a disastrous 25th, Carrasco made little impression in the early laps, while main rivals Deroue and Mika Perez traded the lead. However, Carrasco was offered a glimmer of hope when Deroue retired on lap six with a technical issue, while Perez found himself under imm...

History of Commodore

Image
Commodore Business Machines was originally founded as a typewriter repair and assembly business in 1954 by Jack Tramiel, an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor who became legendary for his ability of spotting trends and for sayings that included "live in the future", "computers for the masses, not the classes" and "business is war". In 1965, following the bankruptcy and indictment of one of the original investors (Atlantic Acceptance), Jack Tramiel found a new investor, Irving Gould. This partnership saved Commodore more than once, but also shaped its future along repeat struggles for control and direction. By the early 1970s Commodore had diversified into a successful line of  calculators , until in 1975 Texas Instruments, Commodore's main supplier of calculator chips, entered the marked directly, introducing devices priced less than what it was selling the parts to Commodore. Commodore learned from the 1975 experience, and in 1976 it purch...
