BLUFOR 🙌🏻 OPFOR 👀

Clearly a river crossing is needed @doctrinatrix_C2 @USArmyDoctrine @USArmy_CALL
Shall I introduce the players? 😂 Either I’m missing some or OPFOR starts out short.
Airplanes, Artillery, Soldiers… there’s supposed to be a pontoon bridge too but I guess that piece is missing too 🤷🏻‍♀️
The rules. It’s funny because some of them sound similar to rules in our modern WFXs 😂

LADY BE GOOD
A B-24 BOMBER’S FIRST AND LAST MISSION Image
On 25 March 1943, a B-24 Liberator named “Lady Be Good” was assigned to the 514th Bomb Squadron, 376th Bombardment Group (Heavy), stationed at Soluch Field in Libya. Image
The crew had arrived in Libya a week earlier, on 18 March 1943, trained but not yet tested on real missions. But they would be soon.

WINGED ANGELS & ANGELS IN OD GREEN
During WWII, more than 59,000 American nurses will serve in the Army Nurse Corps, at times working extremely close to the front lines. @medcoe
The Army Medical Department established a “chain of evacuation” in WWII, and nurses will serve “under fire in field hospitals and evacuation hospitals, on hospital trains and hospital ships, and as flight nurses on medical transport planes.”

BATTLE OF SIDI BOU ZID Image
The next #WhyWeFight1943 podcast episode will feature Dr. @MarkCalhoun47 and he will take us through the story of this German Offensive in February 1943, beginning with the Battle of Sidi Bou Zid and into Kasserine Pass. So this is a primer to help make the most of that episode. Image
As noted in Saturday’s Twitter thread, the Allies failed to take Tunis after heading east immediately following the landings of Operation Torch in NOV 1942 and the major action more or less stalled in Tunisia.

THE CASABLANCA CONFERENCE (Part I) Image
It was not unusual for President Roosevelt’s travel plans to be kept secret, especially during the war, so it did not raise any eyebrows when he took a special train north on 9 JAN 1943. Many just assumed he was heading home to Hyde Park in New York. He was not. Image
He took the train to Baltimore, then changed direction and went to Miami. From there, he got on a Boeing 314 named the Dixie Clipper and traveled for about 10 hours, landing in Trinidad. The next day, they traveled for another 9 hours to Brazil to refuel. Image

SECOND BATTLE OF EL ALAMEIN (Part III)
Operation Supercharge and Rommel’s Retreat
We left off Saturday with Montgomery planning another attack, this time toward Tel el Aqqaqir, northwest of the Kidney feature.
Similar to the initial plan for the Second Battle of El Alamein, Operation Lightfoot, Operation Supercharge would involve a couple of Infantry brigades advancing and clearing a path through minefields, supported by tanks that would follow them.

WHITE ROSE (Weiße Rose) Image
While I was aware of things like the Dutch Resistance, French Resistance, and resistance movements throughout Europe during WWII, I was really only familiar with those resistance movements in countries that were invaded and occupied by the Nazis. ImageImage
It’s not really essential to the overall series but in the course of researching I learned a little bit about resistance movements inside Nazi Germany during the war, including the White Rose movement which I would like to talk about today. Image
