[edit] Battle of Tali-Ihantala
Hi! And welcome. You reverted the Battle of Tali-Ihantala. I've had a discussion with SuperDeng about the reasons I'm doing these modifications. Please check User_talk:SuperDeng#Battle of Tali-Ihantala. Your opinions are valuable on the issue, so please participate. --Whiskey 21:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Operation Nordwind
A source was cited which establishes that Operation Nordwind was the last major German offensive of the war. The same source "Riviera to the Rhine" makes it clear that the Battle of the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge)was separate and distinct from the Battle of Alsace (Nordwind) so it is incorrect to place it within the chronology of the former. I also point out that the work of V.P. Charles von Luttichau supports "Riviera to the Rhine" as well as the Operational Histories of Seventh Army and 6th Army Group. Finally, "Riviera to the Rhine" is the official US Army history for Seventh Army, and is part of the US Army in WWII series. It was co-authored by the Chief Historian of the Army, Dr. Jeffrey Clarke. I also added a link to the combat history of the 14th Armored Division.14thArmored 2030 Hours 16 November 2006
Please see Earl F. Ziemke's "Stalingrad to Berlin: The German Defeat in the East." Ziemke makes it clear that Operation Frühlingserwachen was planned as a major counteroffensive, but that its execution, and the actual strength of the units involved did not fulfill that goal. Hitler may have thought it was a major counteroffensive too, but like you, he was looking at the Order of Battle on paper, not their actual combat strength. A major counteroffensive is determined by execution, not planning. 14thArmored 1100 Hours 17 November 2006
Alright I see now. Thanks for the new info. TheCheeseManCan 18:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
