p 11

p12 Maj-Gen John p28-9 criticizes Ike by solving Montys controversial proposal for a "single narrow thrust into the north Germany through the Nethelands and over the Rhine and into the industrial heartland the Ruhr thn across the North German plain to Berlin spearheaded by Montys Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group. But with shortages of British and Canadian replacements ...

p12 blunders by Ike & Monty Ike ignored the Clausewitzian maxim on conentration of force as "he who attacks everything attacks nothing" Monty - surprise capture of Antwerp but refused to capture the estuary so it was an"unbelievable" eighty-five days before the first supplies were unloaded on Antwerp wharves but Monty found he had a whole airborn army "burning a hole in his pocket" so Market Garden and the disaster at Arnhem

p30-32 Bradley favoured a thrust further south under US command

p34-35 for logistics - fuel and food - the allies needed a deep-water port to replace the Normandy beachhead - but Brest was German-held as a fortress under Hitlers orders and the port was destroyed.

p 34-35 Antwerp was captured but Monty delayed capturing the Scheldt estuary and Walcheren in favour of Market Garden.

p34-35 von Zangen passed on the order from OB West to his command the 15.Armee saying the Allies might "deliver a death blow at the North German plain and Berlin before the onset of winter .. we must hold the Schelde fortifications to the end" So by Monty's delay Schwalbe was "gifted an unbelievable sixteen nights" to affect the miraculous escape of 15.Armee

p75 In 2 September Patton reached the River Moselle (before Allan Adair & Montys XXX Corps entered Brussels) an ran out of gas (150 miles to the south)! then he only got 25,390 gallons, 1/8 of what he asked for! He had planned to leap the Moselle, bypas Metz and head for the Rhenish cities of Mainz and Mannheim deep in the Third Reich. But though theway was open for the third Army to reach the Rhine Patton (p77) needed gas and ammo - and Monty got IKe to back MG and the bulk of supplies went there.

Sp77-79 Patton launched "the least inspired and most wasteful battle of his extraordinary career in an attack on Metz which dragged on thru Sept and October util it surrendered on 22 Nov (

p78 Blaskowitz (who was sacked by Hitler) commented "A direct attack on Metz was unnecessary - in contrast a swerve northward in the direction of Luxembourg and Bitburg would have met with greater success and caused our 1.Armee's right flank to collapse followed by the breakdown of our 7.Armee"

HW - Tucker-Jones

p50 Antewerp docks fell into Allied hands thamks to ther quick actions of the Belgian resistance, but Monty failed to secure the Scheldt, despite the RN warning that Antwerp was as much use as Timbuktoo without the approaches. Monty seemed to rely on French channel ports, but Le Havre (1st week Oct) Bologne (mid-Oct) and Calais (Nov, for personnel only) were not usable until October or November because of destruction. Monty allowed the bulk of the German 15th Army to escpe across the Scheldt. hacing only two arvoured divisions clearing the sewardapproaches to Antwerp, and they were told not to commit to ogfensivre operations from 9 September , as all resources were committed to Monty's 30th corps driving on Arnhem.


Hitler was granted 85 days from the fall of Antwerp to start using the port to bring in supplies, and Hitler gained breathing space for an attack through the Ardennes - the port had become Hitler's "holy grail" p52.

By the end of March 1945 10.300 V-weapons had hit 65 sq mile s of Greater Antwerp, with 60% within an eight-mile radius of the city centre.Butid not deny allies the port as minimal damage ws caused by justve r300 V-weapons - sinking one ship and damaging 16 others, and a hit on the Kruisschans Lock did not stop it functionig One dry dockwas pout out of action, but was repaired in three weeks.p212

The V4 was a solid fuel rocket named the "Rhine Messenger" and was the first V-weapon to go into action. A salvo of 24 was fired at Antwerp on 24 December 1944 but they were "woefully inaccurate" and after another salvo was launched at the port SS -Lieutenant General Hans Kammeler gave up on the Kruisschns Lock-4 programme. HWp211 HWp20-090-21

Hitler hoped that his V-weapons would destroy the vital Kruisschns Lock which controlled the water level at the A. docks - if thee outer an inner gates could be blown the docks would become tidal and the quays could be damaged .H.imagined flying ombs and rockets raining down on the docks HW p209-212

Speer regarded the V2 as a waste of resouces, The V-weapons pogrmme wasted resources equivalent to 24,000 new fighterplanes. HW p211-214


V-weapons

edit

The V-1 was initially the responsibility of Lieutenant General Erich Heinemann, who with his subordinate Colonel Max Wachtel was also responsible for coordination with Major General Walter Dornberger who ran the V-2 program. But afgter the attempt onHitler in July 1944 Himmle put his abitious acolyte sS Lieutnnt Hns Kammler in charge of the V-2 program. Kamr put the brutal SS-Colonel Behr in charge of security; Behr had Duth slave lbour to build the siters who were hen sot; likewise Dutch girls in the soldiers' brothels after two weeks.

Dornberger regarded the attack on Antwerp asa job for the Luftwaffe rather than the V-2 but it was beyond its capabilities. and after their "not very promising" attavk on Antwerp wth the V-2 (12 october) and the first V-1 on the 23rd Hinman ws sacked and plaer o the retired list.

Battle of the Bulge

edit

one of the biggest challlenges for Model was to get his armour over at least eight rivers before even reaching the Meuse: from north to south they were the Ourthe, Ambleve, Salm, Our, Clerf, Wiltz, Sure and Sauer.

but most of the Army assault and pontoon bridging was on the Eastern front. During the attack the Red Army had blown up all the major bridges. which German engineers replaced with temporary crossings and then more permanent structures. But these were attacked by Red partisans; so the military bridging equipment had to be retained. HW p53-56

In November 1944 ...

Jochim Peiper had been relieved of command following a nervous breakdown during the fighting around Caen. hospital initial in Paris, and then to Tegernsee Reserve Hospital in Bavaria, near his wife Sigi and the children.

When he rejoined his regiment in October 1944. In November the 1t SS Panzer Corps was moved to the Cologne area to assist cleanup after Allied bombing. The new recruits were appalled by having to retrieve mashed and mangled bodies. Peiper remarked "Their hatred for the enemy was such ... I swear it. I could not always keep it under control". After going to Duren after a raid he confesssed that he "wanted to castrate the swine ho did this with a broken glass bottle" They wanted revenge.

HW - In Sept 1944 Hitler still had (on paper at least) over ten million men under arms; seven and a half million in the Army and Waffen SS. But Hitler kept them spread over half of Europe rather than defending Germany, many in "hopelessly exposed' positions in the Baltic states, the Balkans and Scandanavia - he kept the Netherlands to launch V-weapon against England, Croatia and Hungary as their bauxite was needed for new jet fighters, the Baltic Coat for training grounds and Norway as a base for U-boats, ffffff Speer complained, asking how he was suppsd to r-equip the armies if 50,000 men were transfered from factories to the army, though Hitler thought that production would not be affected until spring 1945. And while workers could have been replaced by women but Hitler wanted that women to remain at home and that domestic servants remain in service although German women born between 1919 and 1928 were instructed to register for war duties.

Mounting deparation so some foreign labourrs were iven special ration cards, and school holidays were made indefinite for children over 12 so that they could work or be recruited into flak units defending German cities.

Treaty

edit

The Treaty of Louviers (Trêve de Louviers) was signed in January 1196 by Philip II of France and Richard I of England between Issoudun and Chârost, when Richard appeared after riding over 150 miles (240 km) in three days. Philip asked permission for his army to leave, and when Richard refused they talked terms. The two kings met between the lines and had private words. They then dismounted, removed their helmets and exchanged a kiss of peace. [7]

Philip gave back the territory recently gained from Richard in return for the Vexin [8], and Alays of France who had been betrothed to Richard in 1169 when she was 8 years old was returned to Philip. The Treaty confirmed the Treaty of Issoudon signed by Richard and Philip in December 1195.

The treaty was “made to be broken” [9] as it clearly stated that ‘’Andeley shall not be fortified”, [10] but Richard constructed Chateau Gaillard on the Rock of Andeley in 1197, [11] although it was captured after Richard’s death by Philip in 1204 after a siege [12] Crowns p 141-152.

It was a temporary winter truce in their rivalry. The conflict between the Plantagenet kings of England and the Capetian kings of France lasted from 1159 to 1259 in the 12th and 13th centuries; see Capetian-Plantagenet rivalry.

For Zimbabwe the year template works as expected with Category:2007 crimes in Zimbabwe generating the parent the parent Category:Crimes in Zimbabwe by year.

But the “decade” template Category:2000s crimes in Zimbabwe generates the parent Category:Crime in Zimbabwe by decade.rather than “Crimes in …., although this was changed after discussion recently. Can someone correct this please?

A review of a new 127-page book from the New Zealand Defence Force (by two government historians). Hugo999 (talk) 10:50, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

  • Crawford, John; Buck, Matthew (2020). Phenomenal and Wicked: Attrition and Reinforcements in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force at Gallipoli. Wellington: New Zealand Defence Force. ISBN 978-0-478-34812-5.

"Phenomenal and Wicked" was published by the New Zealand Defence Force in August 2020; ISBN 978-0-478-34812-5. It is available as an ebook: https://nzhistory.govt.nz/ebook.html

"Phenomenal and Wicked: Attrition and Reinforcements in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force at Gallipoli" is by two New Zealand historians John Crawford and Matthew Buck. Service by Australian and New Zealand troops (the Anzacs) in the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915 in World War I was a major source for the Anzac legend

Crawford and Buck reveal the high attrition rate at Gallipoli where over 16,000 (perhaps 17,000) soldiers in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force served. While the book is mainly a technical discussion of troop numbers, the revised numbers should be part of our Gallipoli story. The title is from a comment of the British commander in Egypt to General Godley that “the appetite of the Dardanelles for men has been phenomenal and wicked”. Godley wrote in April that a proposal to send a complete new mounted rifles brigade should be resisted as “useless .... What we want is a perpetual stream of reinforcements. We cannot have too many.”

The "demi-official" history “The New Zealanders at Gallipoli” (1919) says 8556 NZEF (New Zealand Expeditionary Force) personnel landed at Gallipoli, according to General Sir Ian Hamilton’s introduction to Major Fred Waite’s book; but Waite himself thought the number too low. The resulting high casualty rate supported the idea of “New Zealand exceptionalism.” Richard Stowers, author of “Bloody Gallipoli: the New Zealanders at Gallipoli” (2005) noted that this figure meant a much higher casualty rate than the Australians, although he found that the casualty rate for the Auckland Mounted Rifles was similar to Australia. His estimate from examining the NZEF Gallipoli war diaries was 13,977. Subsequent historians David Green, Ian McGibbon and Glyn Harper have arrived at 13,000 or more, perhaps 14,000 (Green). Chris Pugsley in “Gallipoli: the New Zealand Story” (1984) noted at least 14,720 disembarkations to the peninsula, but he found some were injured or sick soldiers returning from convalescence not new arrivals. NZEF deaths there were 2701 (Pugsley), 2721 (McGibbon) or 2779 (Stowers).

From 2015 Buck and Crawford were on a government inter-departmental working group studying the records; including the June-August notebooks of the Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, Captain Nathaniel Thoms, a staff officer at the Headquarters of the New Zealand and Australian Division who recorded at least 4332 fresh (not recycled) NZEF reinforcements, showing a significant understatement for the NZEF total. Individual service files for 2429 members of the 6th reinforcements were examined, and showed that at least 1860 had served on the peninsula. About 20% of the files were inconclusive although probably the majority of them had served there. Also examined were the “Distribution of Troops” records, as the New Zealand and Australian governments had agreed to pay the full costs for troops overseas, so paid the War Office six shillings per diem (day) based on a return at the first of each month. So they concluded New Zealand had 16,000 to 17,000 troops who landed at Gallipoli, with an upper number of 17,466. Up to November 1915, 25,000 NZEF personnel arrived in Egypt and so were available for Gallipoli.

Initially, fewer NZEF soldiers were landed than previously thought. After the disastrous landing of April 1915 too far north at ANZAC Cove the Australians and New Zealanders were confined to a tiny and precarious beachhead, with no space for support troops and equipment. At the end of April General Birdwood was telling GHQ MEF (General Headquarters Mediterranean Expeditionary Force) that he could not land 6000 horses as there was no water for them. GHQ MEF was unhappy that the ANZAC force would be immobilised on the beachhead, but they would have been no use. Some of the thousands of men and horses remained on board ship for up to a month. Birdwood signalled on 17 May that 17 transports would be returning to Alexandria to offload 5251 horses accompanied by 3217 men. GHQ MEF insisted that some of the men remain in Alexandria to look after the horses and guard ANZACs “many vehicles and mountains of baggage.” From 25 to 30 April only 44 horses were landed with the NZEF; for the artillery (NZFA); the No 1 Battery, Howitzer Battery and Divisional Train (but none for No 2 Battery!)

Prewar planning for the NZEF envisaged that to keep contingents up to strength, reinforcements of 5% of the strength would need to be despatched each month. In late 1914 this was raised to 10-15% based on British experience on the Western Front. The British and Dominion attrition rates at Gallipoli averaged 5% per week, caused by the August Offensive losses and the high rate of serious sickness. The Wellington Mounted Rifles landed 500 at Gallipoli, but only 24 of them were left when it embarked for Lemnos.

At Gallipoli there were troops from France (who sent 70,000, more troops than the Anzacs!), Britain, India and Newfoundland. A number of New Zealanders served with British or Australian units; both Oscar Freyberg, brother of Bernard Freyberg (the WWII NZEF commander) and John Allen the son of the Minister of Defence Sir James Allen died there serving with British units.

List of electoral firsts in New Zealand

edit

see List of electoral firsts in New Zealand, List of electoral firsts in the United Kingdom, List of electoral firsts in Canada)

Freer: A Lifetime in Politics: Mabel Howard deterioration p149; 1969 election lost by seamen's strike p152 Walter Nash: died 4 June 1968 aged 86y; served just under 40y and "was oldest member ever to sit in house, a record unlikely to be beaten" ... about 1950 Freer concluded "Nash was largely living in the past. He was very egoistical and wanted to hold all power in his hands. While in government he was responsible for delaying a number of decisions by instructing other ministers to refer files to him. These files ended up in a huge table in his office, and until he gave his approval they stayed there. One night when the house sat late he had offered to give me a lift to my digs in Petone. While waiting in his reception room I saw him simply moving files from one pile to another, giving an impression to his staff that he had been working on them. Nordmeyer would not have done that; he was a straightforward and honest man" p50

North-South Junction

edit

The section of railway now known as the North-South Junction or Paekakariki Bank between Pukerua Bay and Parekakariki is the remaining single-line section of the Kapiti Line which is part of the North Island Main Trunk in the North Island of New Zealand. Also known as the , in 5 km the line along the Paekakariki Escarpment and above SH1drops from 80m to 7m above sea-level or 1 in ..... Above SH1. (Parsons p136,80,42,43,47)

Constructed by the private Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company in 1879?? as part of the Wellington-Manawatu Line, it was the most difficult section to construct, and is now an *? km stretch of single track in the double track Kapiti Line. Proposals have been made to upgrade it.

From Wairarapa Line The next section, Paremata to Paekakariki, proved difficult - it included six tunnels built against a steep cliff face, and a large swamp outside a township to be known as Plimmerton. Rails reached Pukerua Bay in 1885, where a temporary tramway was constructed below No. 13 tunnel to allow goods and passengers to be transhipped to a stagecoach to Foxton. Material for the construction of the tunnels between Paekakariki and Pukerua Bay were unloaded at a makeshift wharf constructed in Brendan's Bay. Meanwhile, rails were within two miles of Waikanae in the north by 25 September, with a service from Otaki connecting the two railheads. The laying of the line from Pukerua Bay to Paekakariki was completed on 4 October 1886, and on 27 October the lines from Waikanae and Paekakariki met at Otaihanga.[15] The first revenue-earning train, a stock train from Longburn to Johnsonville with 355 sheep and 60 head of cattle, was on 30 October. The section was officially opened on 3 November 1886, when the last spike was driven at a public ceremony by the Governor of New Zealand, Sir William Jervois.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

List of electoral firsts in New Zealand lists members of the New Zealand Parliament who are notable for age (oldest or youngest) or length of service or by being the “first” for a group e.g. women, Māori, ethnic minorities or LGBT people.

The list is mainly for the House of Representatives rather than the former upper house (the Legislative Council, which was abolished in 1951), and may include the second and third people to attain a position also. Where a source is not given, the source may be the article on the MP.

Members of Parliament are now just referred to as "MPs" (Members of Parliament). Until 1907 members of the House of Representatives were designated "M.H.R." (Members of the House of Representatives). With Dominion status members were designated "M.P." by a Royal Proclamation of 10 September.[1]

Length of service and age

edit

Age when first elected

edit
The youngest MP elected was James Stuart-Wortley, who was 20 years and 258 days when elected in 1853; see Baby of the House for full list. The present "Baby of the House" is Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, 21 when first elected.
In the later 20th-century Marilyn Waring was younger than Mike Moore and Simon Upton; all aged 23 years when they were first elected .

Age when retired or left

edit
  • Walter Nash died as an MP (having retired as party leader) aged 86 years, and was probably the oldest person to be a serving MP when he died.[2]

Longest-serving MPs

edit
Main article: List of longest-serving members of the New Zealand Parliament
  • Rex Mason was New Zealand's longest serving MP, 40 years from 1926 to 1966.
  • Keith Holyoake was probably New Zealand's second-longest serving MP and longest serving Prime Minister, 39 years from 1932 to 1938 and 1943 to 1977.
  • Walter Nash was probably New Zealand's third-longest serving MP, 38 years from 1929 to 1968.
  • Annette King was New Zealand's longest serving female MP, 30 years between 1984–90 and 1993–2017.[3]
  • Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan was New Zealand's longest serving female Maori MP, 29 years between 1967 and 1996.

Shortest-serving MP

edit

The MP with the shortest period of service is possibly Henry Jackson who served in 1879 from 2 July to 15 August; from the 1879 by-election to the 1879 general election. Jackson was sworn in on 11 July 1879 and parliament sat until 11 August.[4][5] Another person with a short tenure was William Cutfield King, who won election for the Grey and Bell electorate in the general election held on 27 November 1860. King was killed in the First Taranaki War on 8 February 1861, several months before parliament would next resume. Hence, King was never sworn in.[5][6]

Prime Minister

edit
The longest-serving prime minister is Richard Seddon at 13 years and 44 days; see List of prime ministers of New Zealand by time in office.
