the strength of his army, all of that. so it has been very difficult for the western army, very difficult for them to get any word of what happened until august 8, two days before the battle. august 8, two women from springfield arrive in the western army camp, alerting mcculloch and price that lyon is anxious. he is growing nervous. he knows that he is outnumbered. he is actually outnumbered over to the one. he doesn't know this yet, but they also know that he knows he is outnumbered. it's just what degree? lyon is contemplating falling back and that would be a safe route. that is something they are considering area considering. mcculloch advises price, we got to move. we need to move. rice finally gives in. ok. the orders go in. they attack at dawn the next way. however, thunderstorms begin to roll in, forcing mcculloch to call off the attack. that mainly has to do with the troops not having cartridges. but here's the thing. after mcculloch calls of the attack, he actually forget to put out in advance guard. so they have

it was this the army i was working at the u.s. army center of history in d.c. that i heard the story that became the last battle. the story is the only time in world war ii when americans and germans joined forces and fought together and they did it to defend a medieval castle in austria that was filled with irritating french v.i.p.'s about to be murdered by the oss and the only time in american military history that u.s. soldiers defended a medieval castle. it's a great story made into a may have now and others followed and bringing us up to escape from paris, when i finished the last book, my agency as all literary agents do, what's your next book? i'm not sure if i want to, how about the history of tsunami or ocean rise? he said, no, no, you're a military historian. and i said do you have any idea? >> paris and americans, that's a great idea except there were no americans in occupied france. he said i'm sure i'll find some.

accused the military of extrajudicial killings and thousands of disappearances he says that as the army has battled islamist militants it has unfairly targeted passions in the country's north west in just the 2 years of his activism has seen his movement grow across the country the military has imposed a strict media blackout on the group but their peaceful protests still draw tens of thousands of people. i'm joined in the studio by o'malley of social media service and also correspondent shots jelani shots at let's start with you who is minds are pashtun and why is his message getting ground minutes so most people in pakistan had never heard of seen until about 2 years ago it's a fascinating story how he's now suddenly a household name in pakistan and he somebody was born in the tribal region of salt as you just on the border region along the finest on he's a son of a schoolteacher he was studying veterinary science in school and he grew up during the so-called war on terror you witnessed a lot of bombing and killing and brutality around him and eventually his own family was forced to m

so you did not leave your community to join the army, you took your community with you into the army. there was no anonymity for the average japanese soldier with respect to if your misconduct takes place, it will not get back to your home. is another phase of this whole thing. when japan began its war in china in 1937, up to that point, japan had signed off on a number of international agreements on treatment of prisoners of war. and in august, 1937, you should -- there was a directive to the armed forces in china that said you are not bound to abide by any of these international agreements we have previously signed. no holds barred with respect to the war on china and that is presaging what would become within the next eight years. what drove the average japanese family to choose suicide over surrender on saipan really came down to two basic things. a fear and coercion. the fear was the propaganda that had instilled in them the notion that the americans were all demons, devils, monsters, wild beasts, and since they were not human, their behavior would be in human. if you fell into a

he is issuing orders to the soldiers and the army and marching orders and he says, "soldiers of the army of tennessee," and he exudes with confidence, "soldiers of the army of tennessee, and exuding will deliver the crowning victory and may we fight them dutifully and fight them bravely. a great country will rejoice in great success and history will record with immortal honor." this is what pemberton was writing. the men are fatigued, and i don't think that he is talking to jocelyn, but i don't believe that the victory at vicksburg will be left in, but i comply with the order, and you don't see it with anything other than exuding desperation. i think it due to myself, they will bring it to the report that the advanced movement of the army from edwards' depot to the afternoon of the 15th, is made in judgment to my previous ly given judgments, and you can see the confederate and the high command at champion hill. obviously, difference of leadership there. and the leadership is, i'm concerned, and not getting into the nit ti grittics of the tactic, but that is how the battle turned out the

but he is the best horsemen in the army. wilson's performance during the overland campaign suggested that he was still learning his craft. but his best personal ambition meant that he would never hesitate to accept any assignment that would advance his career. leading the proposed rate would be right up his alley. the second offensive would be wilson's first foray into independent command. august valentine counts, wilson's junior partner. he led the small camera division and then butlers. born in germany but raised in ohio, he volunteered for the mexican war, graduated within and distinguished rank in west point in 1852. he was posted to the pacific northwest where he was reputedly the first white man to ascend mount were near. he entered the war as a captain in the sixth u.s. cavalry but rose to command the second calgary and ohio western theater. then in virginia. everyone understood that counts required close supervision, suffer bouts of malaria, then incapacitate him for long periods of time. even at his best, was a medi

in the liberation of warsaw was enormous the polish army that accompanied the red army was a component part of these forces but the predominant force was the red army. every year fewer and fewer people remember about those events it's sad because it's our story the nation should know as history and remember it it's sad to see change over the years but it's good that the ceremony continues and that at least a handful of people remember that. i was in the labor camp and breslau the city was surrounded the very much for it with the surrounding subject unit and on may 7th $945.00 i was liberated from this camp by red army soldiers this date stuck in my memory same as generous 17th the date of the liberation of warsaw. well the interpretation and politicised station of history was also touched upon today by russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov but with you poland's attempt to smear and lie about our country both was regard to reasons and outcomes of the 2nd world war and attempts to now use these lies to undermine russia's position in the international arena abound to continue we know fo

with the german army and this is something us the french have to look after because losing our army means losing our sovereignty means losing our identity so i think we're probably going to come back in the 2nd part on what is the real combat today it's not communism any more we'll know what the civilization issue is and obviously nato is not the one up for it so that's my point of view on that i would say with a lot of market in oxford but i would make the argument that all 27 from united states being the 28 member of nato their sovereignty is compromised as well and if you look at public opinion polls it's been pretty. trending. more and more people in western europe in the united states have doubts about you know having a collective security treaty organization for a countries that are so far in. and that what you always france in the u.k. in the united states want to get into a military conflict over you know a country like. a stony and i mean is that something people are interested in to poll say people aren't go ahead mark or i think this is always the problem with a large all

and not just a militia of the army national army leads. the israeli army is already preparing for a new war with hezbollah. this is footage of a maneuver conducted in the north of the country has been reportedly has more than 120000 missiles at its disposal all of them potentially pointed at israel. i think it's safe to say that lebanon will probably be turned into a car park in the next war but israel will be. it's like they haven't been heard since $948.00 the missiles and weaponry at the disposal of hezbollah now will bring the entire country of israel to. a standstill. there will be no civilian traffic you know civilian maritime traffic people will all be in the bunkers will be no one going to schools universities work for the duration of the conflict so this is a very sobering picture for any prime minister in israel as it is indeed for for hezbollah we know what hizbullah is planning we know that they have precise weaponry that can hit with carried out a lot of explosive they are going to devastate our cities and to kill people in hi

they would meet the 43rd infantry division of the japanese army. sverall command of the mariana to a viceas entrusted admiral, well known to the americans as the commander of the japanese carrier striking force that hit pearl harbor in december of 1941 and returned and had been badly defeated in the battle of midway six months later. here we have an aerial view of the landing beaches of the second marine division, they would land to the north. the fourth marine division to the south. the naval bombardment began two days before that invasion. here we see the result of the apartment. heavy fires broken up along the territory immediately north of the landing beaches 16 inch and five inch explosive shells rained down along the landing zones. under the cover provided by this barrage, sweepers came in and swept lanes for the amphibious teamsto land the assault and two underwater demolition men,, these were the frog they came into clear obstacles, which would allow them to come in. a japanese seaplane base, a spectacular photo, this ran in life magazine,

had bothered the hell out of the japanese army in 1939. the japanese felt they had equality and superiority in hadower over russia, russia been a big leader in airpower in the 30's but allowed its air like italy they built too early to much and it was hard to replace the old planes. yet, japan had put large numbers of troops in venture react. i have to move along faster. i am over my limit. backing down was the unthinkable alternative. it was probably the correct decision. -- thelaration of war policy of backing down in the far east of allowing the western european powers to maintain their superiority over east asia would seem to dismantle the japanese state. we are now talking for years into the war with hundreds of thousands. how would you explain that to the people? you will not. the people will rise up against you. as they had risen up in 1905 against russia. there were riots in tokyo because japan did not get a proper identity. i like maps. these are the questions that reasonable persons might ask. when the japanese sat down to decide

hezbollah is now a powerful army and not just a militia. if the army national army leads. the israeli army is already preparing for a new war with hezbollah. this is footage of a maneuver conducted in the north of the country has been a reportedly has more than 120000 missiles at his disposal all of them potentially pointed at israel. i think it's safe to say that lebanon will probably be turned into a car park in the next war but israel will be hits like they haven't been hit since 148 the missiles and weaponry at the disposal of hezbollah now will bring the entire country of israel to. a standstill. there will be no civilian traffic you know civilian maritime traffic people will all be in the bunkers there'll be no one going to schools universities work for the duration of the conflict so this is a very sobering picture for any prime minister in israel as it is indeed for hezbollah we know what hizbullah is planning we know that they have precise weaponry that can hit with carried out a lot of explosives that are going to devastate our cities and to kill people in high n

it was licensed by the army to sell civilian and other supplies to the soldiers. in our scenario, we are hypothetically assuming that we would also like the army in the west -- would have licensed a brothel in a camp style. and so, we have a front if you will of the sewing service to keep a low profile. if in fact it would be licensed like the army experimented licensing prostitutes during the war, you don't want the criticism of the local community of permitting this kind of activity. had is alt, what you typical kind of brothel which would be run by a woman. ms. blackwood in this case. she basically comes out and hires me, a fancy man. we set it up likely what a bricks and mortar house. what wen the middle of would call the parlor. this is where the gentleman would come and they would be entertained by me. the other obligation i have is also as a security man. i provide security for the ladies including ms. blackwood. i am a former military man. i in many cases would be a front for her or a go between between the men of society, in this case the commander since

it an army of. and it is a very well trained very well equipped. with my intentions any jeopardize the stability of the region and it may create a war between israel and lebanon on the state of lebanon on which has basically i-g. in the last couple of years israel has declared that hezbollah is the greatest threat facing israel so we're not talking about a conference talking about syria or even iran but are non-state organizations such as allah is not perceived as the greatest threat was from. united nations troops had been stationed in southern lebanon since 978 their mandate to guarantee peace and security in the contested region it proved an impossible task for a un force that was far too small. in a beautiful state after the civil war and controlled by different religious groups the lebanese army existed in name only when 6 of its peacekeepers were killed in the war of 2006 the united nations changed its policy. since 2006 the un forces have had what is known as a robust mandate which allows the

army had responsibility for code breaking by the japanese army, which is now spread out on all these islands and landmasses around the pacific ocean. so the u.s. army had to figure out, where are we going to get our women? if the navy had approached all these women's colleges and sewn up the northeastern seaboard, where are we going to get our educated minds to work on the japanese army ciphers? the army decided to recruit schoolteachers. this is. -- this is dot braden, from lynchburg, virginia, not far from my hometown of roanoke. she was teaching school in 1942, eldest daughter in a family of four, mom a single mother, her mother, her parents were separated, her mother was supporting their household and dot's salary of $900 a year was supporting her mother at household, and her two younger brothers were already in the u.s. army. she was overburdened by work and what i love about her story is, it shows how u.s. army recruiting strategy was wrongheaded, even as it orked. the army approach to recruiting schoolteachers whizz to send their handsomest young army officers out to lurk in p

the mexican army led by santa ana responded. ♪ ♪ >> the fight begins. in the early 1830s texas happened to be an independent state in mexico. that changed when general santa anna took power. he immediately shelved liberty,c which was the cue for the company to break away. annexation to the u.s. government not really in the cards, even though now president andrew jackson and former president thomas jefferson were convinced texas came along with the louisiana purchase. these guys we're on their own and they were ready to fight. and they were ready to fight. early on too, they had nothing but success. >> would you think the truth is? was texas actually in the louisiana purchase? >> it's a great question. i think the argument was jackson made it could be part of the louisiana purchase is as he gave that what is clear is anybody that served under andrew jackson and looked up to i jackson, even people that challenged him like davy crockett did in tennessee and criticized jackson, many of them felt it should be part of the u.s. because of the purchase. >> why

i want to personally thank you for the fact that the red army freed. and helped in the victory over the nazis because my mother was one of those detained that was liberated by the red army relatives of those liberated from the camp and move free from the israeli president has said that the history of the 2nd world war and the holocaust should be lifted historians one statistic to come forward is the fact that a large number of youngsters have heard know very little about the 2nd world war and the holocaust caught up with it in here in israel who are trying to change that from the ashes of the auschwitz concentration camp emerged to woods never again. through the generations is warning in a few days when it comes remembrance day will be. aerated around the world the tragedy of $6000000.00 jews who were tortured gassed and burned in concentration camps will be remembered but for how much longer according to recent reports as many as 66 percent of millennial cannot identify auschwitz and almost often cannot even name one concentration camp some don't even

next we visit a union army surgeon and embalmer. aboutlk to reenactors medical practices during the war. theuring the beginning of war, like i said there was a lot , of quack surgeons in the union army. dr. lederman took over the medical corps. when he took over the medical corps, he turned the whole thing around. he created an ambulance corps so we could get the men in off the battle quicker. he also went and had to do tests for sergeants -- surgeons to be army qualified surgeons. that is where he got better and better as far as service was concerned. 3 million fought, 600,000 died. 700,000 wounds on that battlefield. but what i was dealing with at that time was really musket. it went in like a finger and came out like a fist. it shattered the bone so bad, was no way that i could repair it. even if you get shot with one of them today, they would have to amputate because you blew that bone apart completely. so but the survival rate was great off my table, off the amputations. 78% survived amputations, but it decreased down to 60% du
