Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
FEATURES HOW SOME MEN DIE The Germans called it the Heidenkopf; to the British it was the Quadrilateral. This low-lying salient was overlooked by both the main German and British positions and was utterly indefensible. Yet, writes Alexander Nicoll, on the first day of the Battle of the Somme it became a sanctuary for some but a place of death for many. ONE NIGHT OVER GERMANY The role of the war correspondent has always been a dangerous one and when four reporters joined a bombing raid over Berlin they knew the risks would be considerable. One of those men, the famous American reporter Ed Murrow, returned to tell the tale. The others, as Alan Cooper relates, were not so fortunate. OAK LEAF VICTIM It was just after breakfast on 14 July 1941, when Spitfire pilot Bill Lamberton lifted off from Gravesend. Engaging a formation of Messerschmitt Bf 109s, Bill was hit and he abandoned his aircraft. He had become the fortieth victim of one of the most successful Luftwaffe fighter pilots of the Second World War. As Chris Goss reveals, this victory earned Oberleutnant Josef Priller a highly-coveted award. OPERATION BIG BANG It had been a key base for the German navy in two world wars and despite intensive raids by the RAF and the USAAF, its heavily-fortified facilities remained largely intact. So, on 18 April 1947, in what was reputedly the biggest non-nuclear single detonation in history, the Royal Navy, quite literally, blew the island of Heligoland apart. SABAH SALUTE They had survived, somehow. Conditions in the Japanese prisoner of war camps on the island of Borneo were utterly inhuman, but many of the British and Australian prisoners had survived. Then as the war was reaching its climax the prisoners in the district of Sabah were forced to march 164 miles inland through jungle and swamps from Sandakan to Ranau. Now, as Mark Khan and Major (Retd.) John Tulloch MBE report, a team from the Royal Artillery has retraced the route of what became known as the Death Marches. REGULARS MY WAR We examine the Second World War RAF service of the television presenter Raymond Baxter - a man whose voice, for many motor sports enthusiasts of the 1950s, inseparable from their memories. RECONNAISSANCE REPORT A look at some of the new publications and products that are available. DUSTY ARCHIVE It was the end of the war and Private F.J.W Kelly RAMC was released from his prison camp in eastern Germany. Soon, though, he disappeared. A file in the National Archives reveals the strange case of the missing medical storeman. DATES THAT SHAPED THE WAR Seventy years on, we chart the some of the key moments and events that affected the United Kingdom in October 1941. WHAT I WOULD SAVE IN A FIRE Damien Horn, Owner of The Channel Islands Military Museum at St Ouen's Bay, Jersey, reveals the items under his care that he would save in the event of a fire: a pair of German Enigma machines.
