			<description><![CDATA[<p>In David Thomas's <em>The importance of Commando Operations in Modern Warfare 1939-82</em> he states: "Commando operations in the sense of self-contained acts of war mounted by forces operating within enemy territory are as old as warfare itself. However, before the second world war, the types of missions that later would become known as 'commando operations', were regarded in western military thought as belonging to the separate phenomenon of irregular warfare, that is, to partisan and guerrilla activity. Therefore, the several [British Commando] forces which came into existence between 1940 and 1942 owed their formation not to British army strategy and doctrine, nor to any far-reaching conception of commando warfare, but to the fertile imagination of Prime Minister Churchill and a number of gifted officers."

Though the miracle of Dunkirk had managed to save thousands of British troops much of their equipment had been lost, Britain needed to replace this and her own industry was not up to providing in numbers the goods required. Though the United States was officially neutral it would supply goods on a "cash and carry" basis, and millions of pounds was flowing out of Britain to the US, in the form of gold, to pay for vital war materiel. But this could not go on, Britain had only so many assets it could liquidate. Dur: 18mins File: .mp3</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In 53 B.C. a Roman army confronted a force one quarter its strength yet suffered Rome's bloodiest defeat in more than a hundred years. The Battle of Carrhae pitted 40,000 Roman soldiers against an army of a mere 10,000 of the Parthian Empire on the sands of Mesopotamia. The humiliating loss rippled through Rome and crumbled the fragile foundation of the Republic; from this rubble rose the Roman Empire. And the disaster of Carrhae, and the folly leading to it, would write a bloody epitaph of the Roman commander, Marcus Licinius Crassus. Dur: 32mins File: .mp3</p>]]></description>

This was off the back of the success of Barbarossa - the invasion of Russia, where the Germans had advanced hundreds of miles as the Russian forces thrown into the line collapsed, often in disarray. Considering the German successes and their superiority so far it would seem a foregone conclusion that when they turned their attention on Moscow it would only be a matter of time before it fell, and with its fall the collapse of the Soviet Union was expected soon to follow.

It's hard to say whether this is actually true, but it neatly illustrates the differing views on Cromwell in both countries: in the UK, he is generally seen as a great English leader, while the Irish view him as a bloodthirsty tyrant, guilty of the slaughter of thousands of innocent people.

This could be due to Napoleon's Marshals often having independent commands; Marshal Marmont faced Wellington at Salamanca, Marmont would also lead the invasion of Dalmatia against the Austrians. Mass&eacute;na was given control of operations against the Kingdom of Naples. The large area Napoleon had conquered made this inevitable, it was helped by the fact he could choose his own men (albeit these promotions were not always on merit and ability: politics wasn't ever far from the surface when such "baubles" were awarded). On the whole Wellington got what he was given by the Commander in Chief at "Horse Guards", limited to one front allowed Wellington to command the campaigns, they are Wellington's victories and not his subordinate's.

			<description><![CDATA[As the allies broke out from the D Day beachhead the Americans moved South into Brittany, while the British and Canadians were held by the Germans at Caen.

As the US First Army moved up from the South toward Caen, Field Marshal Günther von Kluge was ordered by Hitler not to withdraw. In early August of 1944 the noose began to tighten, creating a pocket round the town of Falaise encircling the German Seventh and Fifth Panzer Armies.

This report is brought to you by Richard C.Hottelet for CBS, broadcast from London in August of 1944.

Filmed at Pickering, North Yorkshire, with the Northern WWII Association.
