in practice, this meant that the united states declared war on imperial germany, seeing germany as the instigator of the aggression, particularly in the atlantic. united states did not declare war on austria, hungary, for another eight months. even then, it was rather difficult for the americans to figure out exactly how they would engage austria, hungary on the battlefield. reminiscent of a story i alluded to earlier whereby, in the second world war hungary is one of the satellites of hitler germany. the hunt gary and ambassador was forced -- the hunt gary and -- hungarian ambassador was forced to admit that he was at war with america. supposedly, not everyone in the state department new -- knew where hungary was. the u.s. did not declare war on the ottoman empire. a seemingly accidental fact which actually has huge consequences which lasted this day. american-turkish relations have always rested on a fairly sound footing despite recent issues. they were not actually at were -- at war in the 20th century. in turkey recently, there was a serious difference between how turkish people fe

/germany joint committee on science technology cooperation. that's one of the ways the advanced science diplomacy and in a meeting i described the identified areas of joint cooperation, one of them was in mobility and so the topic we are discussing today is on the minds of those of us engaged in the cooperation between the united states and germany. emobility is a central piece of the innovation strategy and the discussions that took place earlier in the week between the two governments discussions that will take place today fits squarely with president obama's prioritization of advanced vehicle technology as part of what will be the soon-to-be released national strategy for innovation. this technology i think you all know in the interest here today could be a transformative technology. experts talked about this in terms of not only the technology spinoffs but also reducing traffic fatalities and it says so here i'm not sure, but the panel will discuss that i'm sure about 2050. doing so will require a major investment not only in r&d but other

our cities -- their cities are far more concentrated than those of germany. with all of our air strength japan can be defeated in the shortest time and least cost to american lives. now, to answer your questions. will any of the men from the air forces he released? yes, they will. but only after the air forces have moved combat troops and supporting ground forces from various parts of the world in to the pacific area. men will be released as fast as they can be replaced by men from the ground forces or by new inductees. but remember, only after they have it replaced. eventually, men of the air forces will be replaced in the same ratio as men from other branches of the army. but most of us will be required by military necessities to remain until the job is completed. general jimmy doolittle began the bombardment of japan with a handful of lanes. we are going to finish it. >> how will the war departments plans operate in regard to the service forces? general sommerville has a message concerning this. >> so far, you men of the service forces have accomplished mi

first we would attack germany from the air. then we would invade europe and destroy the german armies. with our allies, we want the battle of europe. but without the sacrifice is -- of our pacific naval, air, and ground forces under splendid leadership that now shines an hour -- this but illusion of that now shines in europe would not have been possible. -- so that we may concentrate our offensive power against nazi germany. as we gathered strength for the pacific and closed in on the enemy, destroying ships and planes in preparation for the final keel. we want the battle of europe. but the war, the global war would not be one until we had exterminated japanese military power. the japanese at pearl harbor. -- and malaysia. if japan committed to 100 years of war and sacrifice, if necessary. check it we are prepared to lose 10 million lives in our war with america. >> eight japan committed to world domination. a japan whose home front is united behind the enemy war effort.

the battle of the bulge was germany's last major offensive campaign in world war ii. it began in mid-december of 1944 as a surprise attack on american forces in belgium. the battle would involve more than 500,000 germans, 600,000 americans, and 50,000 british troops. characterized by cold temperatures and overcast skies the battle demonstrated how thoroughly air support had been integrated into contemporary military operations. the allies' inability to dominate the skies prolonged the german offensive. the return of air support helped the allies achieved victory in the battle. it began on december 16, through a german attack designed to catch the allies unaware. the germans wanted to capture the belgian harbor of antwerp. that offensive against unprepared american defenses created a large 80-mile wide bulge in the allied lines. one of the aircraft that drove the germans back was the a-26 invader, built by douglas. immortalized forever by the photo of marines raising the u.s. flag, the battle of iwo jima helped your -- helped secure three airfields and provided the uni

-- for them in germany. we, too, came to that conclusion, and since we had some relatives in the states that seemed to be the natural place to go. i was fortunate, and now in retrospect, i know that it must have saved my life. my sister, who was older than i was in nurses training in germany, but she also decided, of course, that it was time to leave. as someone about for her -- someone vouched for her, so she came here a year ahead of me, and had she not been here, i would not have gotten out because she was able to go after people and ask for the necessary papers that one needed in those days -- an affidavit of support. so she did that for me so that by 1937, i was able to leave also and come to buffalo also, where at that time my sister lived, and so did various other relatives. among them and uncle -- an uncle and a man and their daughter, and i stayed within the first few years -- with them the first few years when i came to buffalo. i also was able after a couple of weeks to find a job in printing agai

going to germany? adler: i did not particularly want to go to korea, so it did not bother me. some of the things i had to do for ultimately a little more difficult. when i got in, this was a good job. when i got back to germany for the first six months, i was in seventh army headquarters and they did not need me. i had nothing to do. i used to go on payday and ask if i was on the payroll survey to we were exempt from duties -- payroll list. we were exempt from duties. >> i understand that you ended up in intelligence. talk about that. were you talking to germans? adler: part of the job was we finally got an assignment it was to -- assignment. it was to deal with germans. i was at a place for the -- where the army rented a huge house. we were gathering intelligence on the russians. it must have been 19 to that we decided we needed to have the best year because east germany had formed their own army. the united states decided we wanted one of those. my job was to go and select officers for the army. talk

is kurt klein and i was born in 1920 in a town called waldorf which is very close to heidelberg in germany. linda kuzmack: tell me about your parents and your family? kurt klein: i grew up in the post-world war i era, and of course, those were very difficult times. my parents were struggling to get along during this economic chaos that existed during those times. you may remember, there was this very serious inflation, i mean ludicrous in a sense, such as has never been seen before, and that made it very difficult to carry on. anything at all. my father had a business that was made extremely difficult because of the economic conditions that existed after world war i. he was a broker for hops and tobacco and grain that he would buy from the farmers in the town that we lived in, and my mother helped him all she could. and of course, they, along with so many others, were struggling to exist in those days. i -- but still, you might say that i grew up in a middle-class family, and of course, after going to elementary school in this town, it was expected that i would go to high school in heidelb

the battle of the bulge was germany's last major campaign in world war ii. it began in mid-december 1944 as a surprise attack on american forces in the ardennes region. the battle would involve more than 500,000 germans, 600,000 americans, and 50,000 british troops. characterized by cold temperatures, the battle demonstrated how thoroughly air support had been integrated into contemporary military operations. the allies' inability to dominate the skies prolonged the german offensive and conversely the return of air support help the allies achieve victory in the battle. it began on december 16 with a german attack designed to catch allies and split forces in half. the germans wanted to capture the belgian harbor of antwerp. that offensive created a bulge in the allied lines. one of the aircraft that drove the germans back was the a-26 invader, built by douglas. immortalized by the photo of marines raising the u.s. flag over mount suribachi, the battle of iwo jima helped secure three airfields and provided a staging area for the much-anticipated invasion of th

and i found some sort of a job until the time that i, in fact, left germany. but it was becoming more and more evident that jews should leave if anybody at all would have them, and not very many countries would have them. it wasn't quite that easy, but especially young people. it was suggested for young people to leave because there was obviously no future for them in jerm any. and so we too, came to that conclusion that i, and since we had some relatives in the states. that seemed to be the natural place to go. i was fortunate, and now in retrospect, i know that must have saved my life. my sister who was older than i, was in nurse training in nerm germany, but she also decided, of course, that it was time to leave, and someone vouched for her, and so she came here a year ahead of me and had she not been here, i would not have gotten out, because she was able to go7v#p#ter people and ask them for the necessary papers that one needed in those days an affidavit of support. and so she did that for me so that by 1937 i was able to leave also and come to buffalo, w

we went from there to germany. we came in the middle of the night to a place which was one of the satellite camps of dachau. i remember, this was scary. we got off the train, it was late at night. we walked to the satellite can't. we had to walk between the railroad tracks. it was not mountains, it was two hilly areas. i thought they were taking us to be shot. that was the first thing i thought -- the first time i thought we were going to be killed. thought. they marched us to this camp and that's where i ended up being stationed for several months. >> tell us about that. adler: this was a camp where life was sort of normal to some extent. we had a field and they put up cardboard huts. made out of compressed or very heavy cardboard. in the rainstorms, they would bend. they had a little straw on the floor. we slept on the floor and if it rained, water came in. we put dirt around it a little bit. we were getting food. a regular ration certainly was not normal. most of the food was soup, very seldom was there meat in

the battle of the of the bulge was germany's last major offensive campaign in world war ii. beginning in mid december of 1944 as a surprise attack on american forces in belgium. before it was over, the battle involved more than 500,000 germans, 600,000 americans and 50,000 british troops. characterized by cold temperatures and overcast skies the battle demonstrated how air support has been ingratetegrated into military operations. the inability to win in the air prolonged the battle. it helped the allies achieve victory in the battle. december 16th a german attack was designed to catch the allies unaware and split the forces in half. they wanted to capture antwerp. it created an 80 mile wide bulge in the allied ones. one of the aircraft that drove the germans back was the a-26 invader built by douglas. eformal eforal immortalized forever, it provided the united states with a staging area for the much anticipated invasion of the japanese homeland. it is a testament to the frosty of the fighting on iwo jima. nearly 19,000 japanese soldiers were killed. the only battle of the w

the british started a blockade of germany. they did not call it a blockade for legal reasons but that is effectively what it was. the german propaganda look at this as, you are starving our women and children as a means of defeating us so we are justified in getting back at you, and they are trying to find a way to do it. the submarine offered a means to do it. the ward did not go any way that anyone expected. no one in europe had seen flood letting on a scale and they did not understand the impact of a machine gun on the battlefield. it did not take long before the political leaders were desperate to find a way out. they would not admit that the whole and had been a mistake but they were looking for some other weapon to get them out of this jam. the germans hit upon the submarine warfare. the german navy, which originally was not keen on submarine warfare engaged in this massive battleship welding arms raced with the british before the war and lost. they knew they would lose in a battleship to battleship conflict. this expens

germany-- france into northern germany. the resistance movements in every european country. and in the east, the people of all the former soviet states who endured many of the heaviest losses of the war. but today, we can also celebrate without reserve the legacy of their accomplishment. a legacy that could not yet be imagined in 1945 with the trauma of war so fresh. not just to europe, that has known seven decades of peace and growing prosperity, but the way the seed of democracy has flourished around the world. the lasting bonds that unite europe and the united states. the international institutions that have underwritten peaceful development. the continual reaffirmation of those basic principles which formed our alliance. that all men and all women of all lands should be able to live free from fear and want. when american and soviet troops met in germany, in april of 1945, they met not only as the victors in war, but witnesses to some of history's most unconscionable crime. hardened soldiers were sickened by the horrors

particularly between germany and the united states. which as many of you know, fight about data a lot. not just in the nsa context, but also in principlely, the business context. so now, you have 15 years from now, a giant fleet of big data machines roaming around every city. what are the prospects for, a, regulatory harmony on this subject across borders and, b, what are the prospects for cultural queasiness associated with the idea of our cars as pervasive surveillance devices? >> i will answer that. first of all we have to differentiate this sensor, a class of machines running around the cities or the country. they are collecting a lot of data. what is happening with this kind of data? is the car relying on data outside of the car to drive autonomously, or must the car also drive without data from outside the car? there is a separation between what the car needs from outside and what the car is generateing by itself. everything it's generating by itself can forget immediately after the driving situation. so this is in the research c

/germany joint committee on science and technology cooperation. that's one of the ways that the state department advances science diplomacy, and in this meeting i described that we had two days ago, we identified areas of joint cooperation. one of those areas was e mobility. so the topic specifically we'll be talking about today is very much on the minds of those engaged in the bilateral cooperation between the united states and germany. e mobility is a piece, central piece, of the obama administration's national innovation strategy, and the discussions that took place earlier in the week formally between the two governments, the discussions that will take place here today, fit squarely with president obama's prioritization of advanced vehicle technology as part of what will be the soon to be released national strategy for american innovation. this technology i think you all know judging by the interest here today could be a transformative technology. the experts talk about this in terms of not only the technology spinoffs you might have, but also

have they missed anything about reaction in germany? mr. coxe: the initial attack was pretty popular in germany, seen as striking back against the british and therefore justified your it it becomes a case of believing your own propaganda. the germans quickly realized they had a disaster on their hands in terms of relationships with neutral countries particularly the u.s. there have been plenty of senior people within the german government before the war zone was declared around great britain who had argued the submarine force is not strong enough to do what they claim they will be able to do. all you are really going to do with submarine warfare is antagonize the united states and bring them into war, which everyone realized was a bad thing for germany. they eased back. after the lusitania was sunk the kaiser said, i would never have sunk aligner with that with innocent people on it. submarines were under orders to attack british merchant ships and give warning that they could not be sure that they would not sink neutrals. but the british w

wherever the comparisons have been made between free and closed societies -- west germany and east germany, austria and czechoslovakia, malaysia and vietnam -- it is the democratic countries what are prosperous and responsive to the needs of their people. and one of the simple but overwhelming facts of our time is this -- of all the millions of refugees we have seen in the modern world, their flight is always away from, not toward the communist world. today on the nato line, our military forces face east to prevent a possible invasion. on the other side of the line, the soviet forces also face east to prevent their people from leaving. the hard evidence of totalitarian rule has caused in mankind an uprising of the intellect and will. whether it is the growth of the new schools of economics in america or england or the appearance of the so-called new philosophers in france, there is one unifying thread running through the intellectual work of these groups -- rejection of the arbitrary power of the state the refusal to subordinate the rights of the individual to the superstate, the realizati
