G. Markham, Japanese Infantry Weapons of World War Two , Hippocrene Books, Inc, NY (1976)... [Pg.17]

During 1930s, the commercial interest of polystyrene started due to its good electrical insulation characteristics. During the second world war, two companies, namely, I.G. Farben-industries (Germany) and Dow Chemical Company (USA) started the large scale production of polystyrene. [Pg.154]

Why Negroes Should Oppose the War [1939], in C. L. R. James et al., Fighting Racism in World War II (New York Pathfinder, 1980), pp. 29, 31 Robert Mullen, Blacks in America s Wars The Shift in Attitude from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam (New York Pathfinder, 1973), pp. 51-60 George Roeder, Jr., The Uncensored War American Visual Experience during World War Two (New Haven Yale, 1993), pp. 43-79, 121-123. [Pg.324]

Dichloromethane was first prepared by Regnault in 1840 by the chlorination of methyl chloride in sunlight. It became an industrial chemical of importance during the Second World War. Two commercial processes are currently used for the production of dichloromethane—hydrochlorination of methanol and direct chlorination of methane (Rossberg etal., 1986 Holbrook, 1993). [Pg.254]

One can after all understand that these Polish authors made their careers in Communist Poland, and, as Polish patriots, can under no circumstances permit the undermining of Auschwitz as a moral justification for the Polish ethnic cleansing of the East Prussians, East Pomeranians, and Silesians after the end of World War Two, as a result... [Pg.272]

A number of radio reports which were sent by the Einsatzgruppen from Russia to Berlin and which were deciphered by the British Intelligence Service. These documents were released only recently, which has led to some speculations about whether the western Allies may have known much earlier about a German policy of extermination of the Jews and whether perhaps even more than 6 million Jews were killed by the Germans in World War Two.134... [Pg.42]

At the beginning of World War Two there were fewer than 16 million Jews in the world [...]... [Pg.183]

For this purpose, we will organize our analysis on the basis of the nations which, during World War Two, came under German rule either in whole or in part, and we will examine the fluctuations exhibited by the Jewish population statistics there. The sequence of the nations corresponds on the whole to that used in Benz s work, where only these countries are dealt with. In comparison, Sarming incorporates more extensive demographic observations, taking into account non-European nations as well, for which reason no strictly defined sequence of nations under German rule can be maintained in his work. [Pg.184]

Nearly sixty years have elapsed since the end of World War Two. The Holocaust specialists have had more than enough time to examine documents and alleged mass murder sites as well as testimony from the most extensive trials in the entire history of the world. Throughout this period they have been extremely active - but aside from a few bits and pieces of so-called confessions and eyewitness testimony, they have found next to nothing. The vast information gaps about the actual mechanics of the alleged extermination process should arouse the gravest suspicion. [Pg.436]

With the start of the Demjanjuk Trial in Jerusalem on February 16, 1987, the Treblinka Holocaust was restored to the active memory of the world public. According to the testimony of Jewish witnesses, Treblinka had been a World War Two extermination camp where vast numbers of Jews were killed - between 700,000 and 3 million, depending on the source consulted.14 The Jerusalem Court decided arbitrarily to set the number of victims at 875,000.15... [Pg.473]

As we can see, hostages were taken by all sides in World War Two, and in many cases they were also killed as reprisal. [Pg.538]

Thus, we find that even during the first years of World War Two the regulations in force in the various nations were quite similar to each other. [Pg.545]

The decision of German courts in the case of the hook Wahrheit fur Deutschland (Truth for Germany) has taken on a central significance where the BPjM s practice of censorship is concerned. This book dealt in an allegedly unacademic manner with the question of who bears the blame for World War Two.18 The BPjM black-listed it in the late 1970s. In 1994 the Federal Constitutional Court declared this black-listing decision unlawful,19 but the BPjM promptly re-indexed the hook... [Pg.570]

John Milsom, German Military Transport of World War Two, Hippocrene Books, New York/Arms Armour Press,... [Pg.593]

The first chemical studies on phosgene chemistry have been associated with the development of organic chemistry during its classical era (1820 - 1940). In the period after world war two, phosgene chemistry has experienced a tremendous growth and wide interest. Vast numbers... [Pg.101]
