Map/burial references - Cassino - Italy - circa 1946 - Concentration Report Form - CWGC - can you help please?
Hi - I am posting in the hopes that someone might be able to help please. I have a copy of a Concentration Report Form from the CWGC web site which has details regarding the first burial site of one of my Great Uncles - (he was killed during WW2 and was later buried at Cassino War Cemetery). The Concentration Form gives two references. The first is a Map Reference: 854.193 Sh 160/11 Cassino 1/50,000 The second is a 'Previously buried at' reference: GR19/2015. Does anyone know if the GR19/2015 is a traceable map reference and also can anyone help with regards to the Cassino map reference please? Failing that, if anyone knows. or has any ideas where I might be able to find this information, I would be really grateful. Thanks very much.
Imagine if Battlefield V actually provided proper experience. Plethora of maps across whole world, starting from 1939 and invasion of Poland, then fall of Western Europe, then battle of England, then Pacific Theatre extended with Guadalcanal and Midway. After that they would bring Soviets, Eastern Front. Maps like Stalingrad, Kursk and battles in Finland. Of course going along with existing maps. Imagine battle of Rome with Monte Cassino breakthrough. Then D-Day, but not only Omaha Beach. Then we would get Ardennes offensive (winter maps) and more US vs Germans battles. They could also add partisans fights across whole Europe (new faction like civil partisans). Fights in Africa, Asia. And the last thing, fall of Berlin. Soviets vs Germans in Berlin. Imagine new factions like Italy, France, Poland, Soviets, Finland. Actual uniforms. No microtransactions. Actual grand operations with pre-speech like in BF1. Imagine Operation Barbarossa or Ardennes Offensive in this style. We could have gotten this, but instead we got what we got.
My (Hopefully) Realistic take on what to expect with Chapter 6 and 7 and maybe the rest of 2020
Hey all, I thought I'd take a shot at a realistic roadmap for 2020 going forward, based in current leaks and assumptions as of the new year. I'm assuming 2 weeks between chapters, but of course everything is subject to change (chapter 4 cough cough). Chapter 6: Start Date: January 30th End Date: April 23rd Given what we've seen so far, this seems the easiest to pin down. We're getting the Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal) map, hopefully to start the chapter. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume we'll get a second pacific map as well maybe midway through. My preference would be for an urban map like Singapore or Manila to shake things up, but it just as easily could be Pelileu or Aleutian Islands. (It would be nifty to get at least 1 UK vs JP map though) Weapon wise: everything from Temporyal indicates we'll get a decent content drop with the M2 Carbine, Springfield Bolt Action, Type 44 Carbine and Type 11 LMG, along with the Lunge Mine. Additionally, recent comments by colers100 indicate the Ha-Go and M3 Stuart Light tanks are probably on the way, which makes sense for a more close quarters jungle/urban environment. Assuming 2 weeks for the vehicles, plus 5 for the weapons and throw in 1 useless melee weapon and 4 more camo sets and we've got a 12 week Chapter 6. If the above holds true, I'll be fairly satisfied with the Japanese and American content thus far to be honest. Now we get more into conjecture and vague references, so take my take on everything going forward with a grain of salt: Chapter 7: Start Date: May 7th (threw in an extra week) End Date: July 30th I think this will be the Mediterranean Chapter, with the introduction of Italy as a minor faction. Uniforms and (I think?) guns have faction tags, and ITA and FRA have been confirmed. Additionally, there's enough italian weapons and uniforms that I think could be splintered off into a separate faction like the American uniforms from the UK. Based on it popping up early in the map list, I suspect Sicily will be a major map, followed by Monte Cassino given that there's concept art for it. Additionally, I think they'll throw in the El Marj Encampment map for SCQ and TDM like they did Provence. Weapon-wise my picks would be the Carcano as a full length Sniper, Breda 30 LMG, Beretta pistol, and maybe the Chaucet? The Double Barrelled flare gun also might appear as a gadget, as it seems to be getting prepped for release. I would expect perhaps 1 Italian tankette, maybe the L3/35 and then just for them to have the Panzer IV. Maybe an additional plane/bomber for the Americans as well? I'll presume a 12 week Chapter again. Post Chapter 7: Here it becomes almost total conjecture, I'm afraid. In the game's first year we recieved 7 CQ sized maps( Panzerstorm through Iwo Jima) plus 2 small scale and Firestorm. I'm assuming 7 Maps for the second year, so Wake Island, Solomon Islands, Pacific Map 5, Sicily, and Monte Cassino gives us 5, leaving the last 2 for the Soviet introduction in the fall. However, the time doesn't totally add up to a Soviet November release, allowing for speculation. Will we get an additional chapter between, or will the Soviets just release in August/September? No idea, but I expect we'll know more by the start of summer. I can't speak to the Soviet faction besides knowing the LAD lmg will come with it and it has to launch with 2 maps, probably with a 3rd in December, based on the Pacific Launch handling. That brings us to 7 CQ maps and 1 small mode map, which isn't amazing admittedly but consistent. Finally, I have my hopes up for a grand operations rework/additions sometime in the first half of 2020, with a Greek Grand Operation being the obvious addition, and hopefully the pacific maps getting in as well. This mode needs a lot of love, but could be great with some key improvements. Thanks for reading and feedback is appreciated!
When I heard that BFV was going to be a live service I was excited. I love WW2 as a setting as it brings back my childhood and while I know live service gets a lot of flak these days (rightly so as well) I thought the possibility was amazing. I thought/hoped we were going to be taken on a journey through WW2 like no game has before. And indeed it looked promising at the start as we seemed to be focusing on the fall of Europe, even Our weapons are more akin to early war (bar a few exceptions). I fear now though, that due to poor sales, they may already be giving up on this idea and I worry if BFV multi-player is just an extra for fire-storm rather then the other way around. I couldn't help but think what could of been, what still might be? As the roadmap hype train is in full swing I thought I'd share my ideal roadmap/improvements to the game. What would be yours? What ideas would you like to see added to this list, what would you take out?

Game modes
No new game modes, further refinements to existing maps/game modes for balance. Depending on how player count is going, if its low, may look to remove the worst two performing game modes, regardless of what they are (including base modes launched with game) to boost numbers in other modes.

.* supports all game modes = does not include superiority modes, or carrier assault. every map will support most game modes, Some game modes may not be supported for the sake of balance or feasibility on some maps, Attempts will be made to ensure a even distribution of supported modes across the maps so no game mode is lacking maps and ensuring a slightly unique rotation for each game mode. Conquest and breakthrough will be supported on all maps unless stated otherwise. Ideal breakdown, including the 9 maps the game has (assuming they support the current game modes as of march 2019) base game = 9 tides of war = 18 (not including superiority maps and carrier assault maps) carrier assault = 2 air superiority = 4 tank superiority = 3 Operation lapland = 1 Firestorm = 3 Grand total = 39 Conquest and breakthrough = 27 map rotation Rush = 20 map rotation Grand ops = 11 map rotation Domination/frontlines = 20 map rotation TDM/Squad conquest = 15 map rotation Air superiority = 4 map rotation Tank superiority = 3 map rotation Firestorm = 3 map rotation

Vehicles Customization.
RSP, Rental Server Program, it's detailed thoroughly on the road map.
[Suggestion] Dice what Battlefield V Really Needs:
Developers you urgently need to hear more from the community here at reddit be it in the reviews of bugs, cosmetic weapons and maps. Here below are a series of claims that the community has asked to make the BFV a better game: - Bugfixes - More factions (France, Italy etc) - More game-modes (Tank Battles, Air superiority etc) - Authentic uniforms - Vehicle customization - More gadgets - More skins ( SS, Afrika Korps, SAS etc) - Standard and original uniforms for German, British and future factions - Eastern Front (4 maps, new weapons, new vehicles, new skins) - Western Front (4 maps, new vehicles, new skins) - Fall of the reich (4 maps, new vehicles, new skins) - Maybe some maps like Monte Cassino or Warsaw would be nice and include Italian and Polish factions. - Remodel cosmetics from the base game leaving them more accurate with the time of the second war https://preview.redd.it/d4ne8s3jaxb31.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9b9bb632a047d47927756835bb1bc030975e073
[BFV] It sucks that there will only be two factions upon release, but the DLC possibilities have me excited
1. Stalingrad - The Battle of Stalingrad was the biggest and bloodiest battle of WWII. The battle lasted for over 5 months, with both the Soviets and Germans having control of the city at different times. This was the turning point of the war in the East, and arguably the war in Europe as a whole. Operations would be perfect for this battle. You could have the Battle of Kiev) and Kharkov leading up to the urban warfare of downtown Stalingrad. 2. Berlin - The Battle of Berlin would also be perfect for operations, with the final battle being deep inside Berlin, with fighting within the Reichstag itself. You could have the Battle of Seelow Heights leading up to it. 3. Moscow - In the Battle of Moscow the Germans never reached the city, but they came within 18 miles. A map with Moscow in the background would be cool. Would be a really nice winter map as an early winter was a big reason the Germans failed to advance any closer. 4. Kursk - The Battle of Kursk was probably the biggest armored battle of the war. It was the last offensive attempted by the Germans on the Eastern front. Maybe we could see a map based in Kursk with increased tank spawns? 8 tanks per team? That would be insane. 5. Battle of the Bulge - The last offensive for the Germans. A snowy forest map? Bastogne? 6. Italy - Italy would be another great setting for an operations. Perhaps it could start with the Invasion of Sicily and work its way up to The Battle of Monte Cassino, which was the key to the liberation of Rome. 7. France/Netherlands/Belgium - A paratrooper map as the 101st airborne? D-Day landing? Market Garden? Operations potential. 8. Midway - The Battle of Midway was one of the biggest naval battles of the war and considered the turning point of the war in the Pacific. Could we get an all naval battle? Destroyers? Battleships? If they could make naval fighting more interesting it could really be something. 9. El Alamein - The Second Battle of El Alamein was arguably the most important victory for the Allies in Africa, as it prevented the Axis powers from gaining control over the Suez canal and the Persian oil fields. 10. Iwo Jima - The Battle of Iwo Jima was the bloodiest battle in the Pacific theater. 11. Guadalcanal - The Battle of Guadalcanal was an important campaign for the Allies, as it denied the Japanese from cutting off supply and communication between the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. 12. Okinawa - The Battle of Okinawa was the final big battle in the Pacific. There is potential for operations beginning with Guadalcanal, then Iwo Jima, and then ending on Okinawa to show the Allied use of island hopping in the Pacific. 13. The Coral Sea - The Battle of the Coral Sea off the coast of Australia was the first naval battle where aircraft carriers engaged each other. Naval and air battle combined? Taking off of aircraft carriers? 14. Crete - The Battle of Crete secured the Axis' southern flank as it prepared for war with the Soviets. It was also the first mainly airborne invasion in history. 15. China - The Battle of Shanghai, described as "Stalingrad on the Yangtze," was one of the bloodiest battles of the war in China which resulted in the Japanese taking Shanghai. China has been neglected when it comes to WWII, and I think it would be nice to have at least one map in China. Honorable mentions: Yugoslavia (Yugoslav Partisans), Finland (the Winter War), Estonia (Battle of Narva)), Paris (French Resistance), Leningrad (Operation Iskra) EDIT: ALL THE BATTLES HAVE LINKS TO THEIR WIKIPEDIA PAGES. For me, none of the linked stuff is blue like it usually is (is it like this for anyone else?)

I think the Pacific has a lot of possibilities in the future with maps like The Philippines, Burma, Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Okinawa. With Burma we could even see UK VS Japanese and even the introduction of Indian and Gurkha soldiers in the UK faction. Also of course the Soviets would be a cool addition with Soviets VS Germans in operation Barbarossa and even Soviets VS Japan in battles in Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Korea, South Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands. In the end we could have chapters with the liberation of Europe starting with the Allied Invasion of Italy with battles like Monte Cassino, Rome, Anzio, Montese and Monte Castelo. With maps like Montese and Monte Castelo we could even see a introduction of a Brazilian Expeditionary Force faction or some Brazilian soldiers for the Americans in Italy as they fought alongside the Americans and pretty much used the same uniforms but with a few different details. In the last chapter we could have the Liberation of the rest of Europe with Operation Overlord, Operation Cobra, Operation Market Garden and to have a really cool ending The Fall of Berlin, with the desperate attempt of the Germans trying to defend Berlin from the Soviets. What you guys think of these ideas for the future of BFV? Do you think they would be cool additions?
Finally, an excuse to post this WWII map wishlist I've wasted my time on
Just for fun, I've been speculating on possible maps should Dice ever make a WWII game. And now with this recent leak, I've got an excuse to post it. I based this list on how Dice has released the past maps and its DLC, and also looking at what some people considered the best maps of Battlefield 1942. I also assumed they're going to bring an operations mode into the game. This is half a wishlist, and half a guess on what the maps are going to be. Maps listed in bold could possibly be Operations maps. I'm thinking each of the allied factions can have one operation associated with them. Let me know if you've got any suggestions, or maybe a list of your own. Base Game
Stalingrad
Kursk (possibly a big tank map, with 6-7 tanks per side)
Kharkov
Midway
Guadacanal
Omaha Beach (really crossing my fingers for this one. Think Omaha Beach from Forgotten Hope 2 but with the Frostbite engine)
El Alamein
Gazala
Kohima (British vs Japanese in India, 1944. Sometimes called the 'Stalingrad of the East', one of the greatest moments of the British army during the war.)
Wake Island (of course. Probably post launch)
Italy
Anzio
Mount Cassino
Battle of the Mediterranean (some naval map involving the Brits and Italians).
Sicily
Europe
Market Garden
Battle of the Bulge
Villers-Bocage (if they have a system similar to the behemoths in BF1, maybe they can give the Germans a Tiger)
Caen
Leningrad Outskirts (Russians breaking the siege of Leningrad)
Narva (Part of Russian invasion into Estonia in 1944; lost with 480,000 casualties on their side)
China (Nationalist China vs Japanese army. Definitely not a commonly presented area in WWII game)
Siege of Shanghai, 1937
Wuhan
Tai’erzhuang (first major victory against the Japanese)
Changsha
Hengyang (longest city defense by the Chinese against Japan during the war.)
Endgame
Operation Plunder (Brits crossing the Rhine)
Berlin
Iwo Jima
Okinawa
Mutanchiang (Russians invading Japanese occupied Manchuria. Technically one of the last battles of the entire war)
Predictions and wishes for Battlefield V, with images and articles
What follows is my thoughts on what may or may not appear in Battlefield V. It's a combination of practices I think the team will likely follow when designing the game and it's content as well as what I would personally like to see in the game. 4 Classes redesigned:There's usually some variation in the role of classes between games and I had some ideas to share. Key changes are splitting the AT role between Support and Engineer, making engineer a more useful CQ fighter, and making Support a dedicated mid range fire support role. Engineer: CQ combatant with gadgets for close range demolition and repairing damaged vehicles and gear. Moves faster than other classes and is more resistant to explosives. Uses SMGs and Shotguns. Satchel Charge: High Explosive that can be placed on walls, vehicles, or floors, or thrown a distance unpredictably. AT Mines: Anti-armor charge activated by pressure Repair Kit: A variety of tools for fixing Tanks, Trucks, and emplaced guns. Sticky Bomb: Anti-Tank Grenades that stick to surfaces and explodes after a time. ~~~ Support: Specialized in suppressing infantry at medium range, providing ammo, and dealing with armored vehicles at range. Moves slower than other classes and is more resistant to suppression effects. Uses LMGs. PIAT: Short Range, High Damage AT weapon. Fires in an Arc Bazooka/Panzershreck: AT Rocket. Good Damage. (US/UK/France/Japan, Bazooka. Germany/SU/Italy, Panzershreck AT Rifle: Long Range AT Weapon, but low Damage. (UK/US/France, Boys. Germany/Italy, Solothurn. SU, PTRD. Japan, Type 97. Ammo Box: Provides ammo of all types to Soldiers. ~~~ Medic: Frontline combatant helping push the assault with rifle grenades and first aid. Provides bonus capture rate on objectives. Uses SLRs and Bolt-Actions (no scopes). Medical Box: Provides healing in an area overtime. Medical Bag: Provides healing in bursts to a single soldier. AT Rifle Grenade: Provides light damage to armor ** Frag Rifle Grenade:** Provides damage over a large area to infantry Phosphorus Rifle Grenade: Provides a screen of burning material to block line of sight and damage any who enter. Smoke Rifle Grenade: Provides a large screen of smoke that obscures an area, but isn’t harmful. ~~~ Scout: Stealthy soldiers who can take targets out at long range or sneak behind enemy lines, plant traps and provide reconnaissance. Spotted soldiers are spotted for longer and sprints quietly. Uses Bolt-Actions and Shotguns. Welrod: Silenced pistol that fires a single bullet that deals high damage at close range. Will kill in a single headshot from under 10m. Incendiary Trip Mine: A string attached to an incendiary hand grenade. Frag Trip Mine: A string attached to a fragmentation grenade Binoculars: High-Magnification optics that spot many enemies at long range. Climbing Gear: Rope and Grapple that allow a sniper to climb walls, cliffs, and trees and hang there for a time. Base Game Content: Weapons: SMGs:
Maps (and operations): Devil’s Bet: US vs. Germany: Fight in the bitter cold of the Battle of the Bulge as the Third Reich gives one final effort in the west.
Meuse Bridge: Fight across the Meuse River in the dense and snowy Ardennes. Close combat and trees make for a chaotic infantry skirmish
St. Vith: The last of the Panzers clash with American Steel in the open terrain around the village of St. Vith.
Strike of the Sword: UK vs. Germany: Take the fight back to the Germans with the British Army Landings at Sword Beach.
Queen’s Red: Fight over the beach into Hermanville-sur-Mer and fight through German defenses in this beach-front village.
Bocage Rush: Watch for tanks and cover your head as you dodge from hedge to tree in the bocage outside Caen. Armor can hide behind the dense brush, but can’t move easily.
Azure Coast: US/France vs. Germany: US and French forces launch a surprise attack on German forces in the South of France.
Black Cape: French Commandos launch a night time attack on German Artillery positions on a steep cliff.
Beach Front: US Forces land at Saint-Raphael, battling German Infantry in the picturesque Mediterranean village.
End of the Line: US vs. Germany. US Forces slog through Southern Germany in the last days of the war.
Across the Rhine: The last remains of Germany’s once great armored force defends a crossing of the Rhine River.
Nuremburg: US infantry fights desperate Germans in one of the heaviest urban battles on the Western Front.
All Roads lead to Rome: UK vs. Germany:
Foothills: British Forces clash with Germans in the dry shrub.
Monte Cassino: Fight up the steep slopes of the leveled Abbey on the Hill.
Bonus Map!
Defectors: German Wehrmacht vs. German SS: German Defectors hold off an SS assault in Castle Itter.
How I would have handled a WWII Battlefield Game's setting
So this is all about the setting and locations, which a lot of people have commented on. First off, I would title BFV differently, because there would be 2 games instead of one: Battlefield V-E (Victory in Europe) would launch 2018, Battlefield V- J or A (Victory in Japan/Asia) would launch in 2020. All things considered, these were two very different wars and the games would each focus on different aspects and even have their own mechanics. They retain the same V marking because they share the same time period, but obviously differ in setting. IE, the pacific saw a lot of guerrilla tactics, so gimmicks and mechanics based on this could be implemented. There would also be full-scale naval and air battles. In Europe, you would have large vehicular tank battles with little to no focus on naval engagements, and maybe only an air supremacy mode focused on the battle of Britain. The map lineup for each game would end around 30 maps- you could involve lesser known battles alongside ones we already know. I'll include a question mark for anything that could be considered expendable to make room for other maps. There could be: The invasion of Poland (?) 1 Rotterdam map that brings back levolution from BF4. Basically, halfway through the game just have bombers come and seriously fuck with the existing Rotterdam map so you have to continue fighting but with many destroyed buildings and changes to the game. saves one map. Norway x1 Fall of France, 2 maps one tank focused Dunkirk Air map for the battle of Britain with objectives for the Germans to bomb. Crete Greece proper North Africa 2 or 3? (focus one on tanks) Sicily ? Italy proper (IE monte cassino)? Normandy (if they want to go with lesser known, then they could do Gold, Sword, Juno, or Utah- especially given the vehicles that actually made it to the beach in these sectors) (or pont du hoc). Caen Market Garden (IE twisted steel) Battle of the Bulge (can be focused on tanks) Invasion of Germany Castle Itter because fuck it Or switch out any ?'s with more lesser known battles to get to about 20 western front On the eastern front: Operstion Barabarossa x2 Moscow or Leningrad (both are cities so pick one) Sevastapol Stalingrad x2 Kursk (Tanks) Novorossiysk Berlin pick one extra lesser known battle You could also throw in 1 or 2 Winter War maps of the USSR and Finnish I feel like all the above are a nice mix of new shit and stuff we've seen before. As for the maps for BFV-J: Pick like, idk 4 battles on Mainland china (I'm not as well versed on this front) from 1937 onwards In no particular order: Burma Rangoon Malaya Philipines Wake Island Tarawa Pelilu Guadal Canal Iwo Jima Okinawa Aleutian Islands (?) Baatan New Guinea Solomon islands The Fall of Hong Kong The Fall of Singapore pick 3 even obscurer ones Naval battles focusing on ship and air combat: Pearl Harbor coral sea midway Leyte Gulf phillipine sea Java sea pick one even obscurer one Unfortunately, we won't get this kind of line up. I really was looking forward to more obscure and unknown battles but with the communities feelings on the matter I doubt Dice will decide to look at those as much. Not to mention they have both halves of the war to shove into the game.
Which maps/ theatres would you like to see in Tides of War ?
Personally, my wishlist is : -Eastern Front 1941-1942(+ Soviet Union faction) : Crimea (featuring Gustav railway gun) Stalingrad (heavily urban + tanks, lots of destructible areas, snow storms) -The Pacific War 1941-1942 (+ Japanese and US faction): Wake Island (asymetric gameplay) Philippines -Italy campaign 1943-1944: Sicily countryside Monte Cassino (asymetric gameplay) -Eastern Front 1943-1944: Caucasus Kursk (large armored tanks battle, all-out assault accross the plain) -D-Day 1944: Normandy beach (asymetric gameplay like Oman in BF3/4, the Allies have to land + airborne and push while the Germans are defending the beach) Normandy countryside (terrain covered by bocage) or Falaise pocket -Downfall of Japan 1945: Iwo Jima (with underground tunnels) Okinawa (traditional Japanese Shuri Castle as central point) -The Ardennes Offensive / Downfall of Germany 1945: Ardennes (large map with snowy forests and bunkers) Berlin (heavily urban + tanks, grim and desolated streets) We know North Africa theatre will be at launch (2 maps) and it seems Balkans/Greece theatre comes early 2019.
Monte Cassino - the famous Abbey in Italy, part of the Gustav line, but maybe not actually occupied by Germans when it was bombed, instead about 230 Italians hiding in the Abbey died when it was bombed from the air. Pretty tragic. http://www.matthewparker.co.uk/2014/image/Map-9-The-Third-Battle-large.jpg BUT this could be a pretty interesting map -- to make it balanced you could give one side a start either on top of the pic behind the hill, or to the left side of the picture, Then have the other spawn start in the lower right (where you see New Zealand forces coming in) Then both sides would be tempted to climb the hills road switchbacks to get a better position at the top ... And then one side or the other would be tempted to destroy the Abbey with artillery fire. Maybe ..... Maybe Gaijin doesn't do literal places though (Besides Berlin and Cologne I guess), in order to not offend people or perpetuate Bad History. But I think it would be interesting to experience this site as a map. Is there some kind of bounty system for map making that could be done? Like a stage where people gather pictures, build the basic terrain, place static things in the map, make custom models, etc?
Battle of Britain A 32 vs. 32 airplane battle would be amazing to witness although it may need a separate game mode to work Battle of El Alamein The Allied landings in Italy Battle of Kursk this could play out a lot like the Panzerstorm map Operation Barbarossa Battle of Monte Cassino Invasion of Greece Battle of Saint-Lo Battle of Hurtgen Forest Landing at Sword Beach the German Invasion of Poland OR the Soviet Invasion of Poland Siege of Leningrad add some others in the comments!
5 operations (yeah it’s greedy to expect 5 operations but the scope of World War 2 is just so massive I feel like DICE is a bit obligated to go a bit overboard on the number of maps) OPERATION 1: Fall of Rome(Allied Forces fight their way through Italy against German and Italians loyal to Mussolini) El Alamein: A massive desert map similar to Silk Road from BF1. Mainly a map for a ton of tanks, armored cars, and transports, plus a pretty big Air Force for each side Monte Cassino: A land and air warfare map centered around the ruined town of Cassino, where infantry and tanks fight through the ruins in close quarter combat Gothic Line/Rimini: A mountainous map set in Northern Italy, with allied forces pushing up against fortified German lines. Hopefully something like a combination of Monte Grappa, without those bunkers, and Cabarreto, without the spawn traps OPERATION 2: The Great Crusade(starting with the iconic Normandy landings, the iconic battle to liberate Europe from Nazi clutches) Normandy: the allies are forced to break out of the beach and fight up the cliffs and close quarter defenses of the Atlantic Wall. Ardennes: Allied forces fight through the snowy forests and roads with tanks and transports, with objectives targeting German defenses and towns in the forest. Market Garden: Allied forces attempt to liberate the Netherlands in this map centered around bridges and rivers OPERATION 3: Barbarossa (The German Reich pokes the Soviet Bear) Kiev: German tanks push in from the open fields of the Ukraine to the congested inner city of Kiev Stalingrad: Intense urban fighting with multiple flanking routes (sewer gameplay maybe?) as German troops try desperately to seize control of the Caucuses. OPERATION 4:Red Tide(Russia pushes the Germans back to Berlin) Kursk: A big tank map for the biggest tank battle in history Kaunas: Russians push through the hills of Lithuania to liberate the city ofKaunas Berlin: More urban combat, with the fight ending in the Reichstag OPERATION 5: Rising Sun: Allied forces island hop across the defended islands of the Pacific to destroy the Empire of the Rising Sun Guadalcanal: Jungle combat with one of the first US island hopping battles of the war Iwo Jima: a heavily defended Japanese island where Americans must slog through tunnels bunkers and fortifications Okinawa: the United States pushes across the battle torn terrain of Okinawa towards a village sitting away from the battle Possible DLC: White Death-Soviet Finnish conflicts in the frozen terrain of Finland War Torn lands- Battle as Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Romania in conflicts in the Balkan region United China: take up arms against the Japanese imperialists as the many nations that were once China. We Shall Never Surrender: attempt to hold back the German blitzkrieg across Poland, the Maginot Line, and Dunkirk
Open main menu  Search Edit Watch this page Read in another language Book burning  Contemporary book burning  Thousands of books smoulder in a huge bonfire as Germans give the Nazi salute during the wave of book-burnings that spread throughout Germany - NARA - 535791 Book burning, or tomecide, is the ritual destruction by fire of books or other written materials. Usually carried out in a public context, the burning of books represents an element of censorship and usually proceeds from a cultural, religious, or political opposition to the materials in question.[1] In some cases, the destroyed works are irreplaceable and their burning constitutes a severe loss to cultural heritage. Examples include the burning of books and burying of scholars under China's Qin Dynasty (213–210 BC), the obliteration of the Library of Baghdad(1258), the destruction of Aztec codices by Itzcoatl (1430s), and the burning of Maya codices on the order of bishop Diego de Landa (1562). In other cases, such as the Nazi book burnings, other copies of the destroyed books survive, but the instance of book burning becomes emblematic of a harsh and oppressive regime which is seeking to censor or silence an aspect of a nation's culture. Book burning can be an act of contempt for the book's contents or author, and the act is intended to draw wider public attention to this opinion. Examples include the burning of Wilhelm Reich's books by the FDA and the 2010 Qur'an-burning controversy. Art destruction is related to book burning, both because it might have similar cultural, religious, or political connotations, and because in various historical cases books and artworks were destroyed at the same time. In modern times, other forms of media, such as phonograph records, video tapes, and CDshave also been burned, shredded, or crushed. Historical backgroundEdit  In 1933, Nazis burned works of Jewish authors, and other works considered "un-German", at the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin. The burning of books has a long history as a tool wielded by authorities both secular and religious, in efforts to suppress dissenting or heretical views that are perceived as posing a threat to the prevailing order. 700 BCEdit According to the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), in the 7th century BCE King Jehoiakim of Judah burned part of a scroll Baruch ben Neriah had written at prophet Jeremiah's dictation (Jeremiah 36). Burning of books and burying of scholars in China (210 BC)Edit Qin Shi Huang, first emperor of Qin Dynasty, ordered a Burning of books and burying of scholars in 213 BC and burial alive of 460 Confucian scholars in 210 BC in order to stay in the throne. Some of these books were written in Shang Xiang, a superior school founded in 2208 BC. The event caused the loss of many philosophical treatises of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The official philosophy of government ("legalism") survived. Christian burningsEdit After the First Council of Nicea (AD 325), Roman emperor Constantine the Great issued an edict against nontrinitarian Arians which included systematical book burning; "In addition, if any writing composed by Ariusshould be found, it should be handed over to the flames, so that not only will the wickedness of his teaching be obliterated, but nothing will be left even to remind anyone of him. And I hereby make a public order, that if someone should be discovered to have hidden a writing composed by Arius, and not to have immediately brought it forward and destroyed it by fire, his penalty shall be death. As soon as he is discovered in this offense, he shall be submitted for capital punishment....."[2] According to Elaine Pagels, "In AD 367, Athanasius, the zealous bishop of Alexandria... issued an Easter letter in which he demanded that Egyptian monks destroy all such unacceptable writings, except for those he specifically listed as 'acceptable' even 'canonical' — a list that constitutes the present 'New Testament'".[3] Pagels cites Athanasius's Paschal letter (letter 39) for 367 AD, which prescribes a canon but does not explicitly order monks to destroy excluded works.[4][original research?] Heretical texts do not turn up as palimpsests, washed clean and overwritten, as do many texts of Classical antiquity. According to author Rebecca Knuth, multitudes of early Christian texts have been as thoroughly "destroyed" as if they had been publicly burnt.[5] Burning of Library of AlexandriaEdit Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world and flourished between the third century BCE and the third century CE. It was burned multiple times during its history. Some of the most notable burnings include Julius Caesar setting fire to his fleet in 48 BC which spread to buildings by the docks and destroyed an estimated 40,000 scrolls; Emperor Aurelian's (AD 270–275) sack of Alexandria in 272 CE which badly damaged the section of the city in which part of the library was housed; and religious riots aimed against pagan temples, learning, and ideas in 391 CE, sanctioned by decree of Emperor Theodosius I and led by Coptic PopeTheophilus.[6] Burning of Nestorian booksEdit Activity of Cyril of Alexandria (c. 376–444) brought fire to almost all writings of Nestorius (386-450), shortly after 435.[7] Burning of Arian booksEdit According to the Chronicle of Fredegar, Recared, King of the Wisigoths (reigned 586–601) and first Catholic king of Spain, following his conversion to Catholicism in 587, ordered that all Arian books should be collected and burned; and all the books of Arian theology were reduced to ashes, along with the house in which they had been purposely collected.[8][9] Burning of Jewish manuscripts in 1244Edit In 1244, as an outcome of the Disputation of Paris, twenty-four carriage loads of Talmudsand other Jewish religious manuscripts were set on fire in the streets of Paris.[10][11] Burning of Aztec and Mayan manuscripts in 1560'sEdit During the conquest of the Americas and the aftermath of the encounter between European and indigenous American civilizations, many books written by indigenous peoples were destroyed. There were many books written by the Aztecs in existence at the time of the Spanish conquest of Yucatán in the 16th century. However, most were destroyed by the Conquistadors and the Catholic priests, with the exception of Priest Bartolome de la Casas. In particular, many books in Yucatánwere ordered destroyed by Bishop Diego de Landa in July 1562. De Landa wrote: "We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they (the Maya) regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction." Ironically, most of the books that were destroyed by the Europeans were biased and based upon the Aztec people's version of the history of the region. The Aztecs too had conquered the area and destroyed many of the Mayan books and documents. Burning of US Library of CongressEdit The Library of Congress was founded in 1800, 24 years after the United States gained its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1813, 3,000 books from the Library of Congress were used by the British forces to burn down the US Capitol during the Burning of Washington. Although there were dissenting voices to this wanton destruction, the conflagration was motivated by a strong desire on the part of the British to humiliate the Americans.[12] Institutions dedicated to book burningsEdit Anthony Comstock's New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, founded in 1873, inscribed book burning on its seal, as a worthy goal to be achieved. Comstock's total accomplishment in a long and influential career is estimated to have been the destruction of some 15 tons of books, 284,000 pounds of plates for printing such 'objectionable' books, and nearly 4,000,000 pictures. All of this material was defined as "lewd" by Comstock's very broad definition of the term — which he and his associates successfully lobbied the United States Congress to incorporate in the Comstock Law.[13] Nazi regime (1933)Edit Main: Nazi book burnings The Nazi government decreed broad grounds for burning material: ...which acts subversively on our future or strikes at the root of German thought, the German home and the driving forces of our people... — The Jewish Virtual Library [14] AD79 Vesuvius eruptionEdit In the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD a store of thousands of papyrus scrolls (the Herculaneum papyri) in a villa were burnt to carbon by a pyroclastic flow. This incident had the unusual effect of preserving them in a form readable (though with difficulty), a climate moist as Italy's would have rotted the scrolls long ago. Notable book burnings and destruction of librariesEdit Main articles: List of book-burning incidents and List of destroyed libraries Burnings by authorsEdit In 1588, the exiled English Catholic William Cardinal Allen wrote "An Admonition to the Nobility and People of England", a work sharply attacking Queen Elizabeth I. It was to be published in Spanish-occupied England in the event of the Spanish Armada succeeding in its invasion. Upon the defeat of the Armada, Allen carefully consigned his publication to the fire, and we only know of it through one of Elizabeth's spies, who had stolen a copy.[15] The Hassidic Rabbi Nachman of Breslov is reported to have written a book which he himself burned in 1808. To this day, his followers mourn "The Burned Book" and seek in their Rabbi's surviving writings for clues as to what the lost volume contained and why it was destroyed.[16] Carlo Goldoni is known to have burned his first play, a tragedy called Amalasunta, when encountering unfavorable criticism. Nikolai Gogol burned the second half of his magnum opus Dead Souls, having come under the influence of a priest who persuaded him that his work was sinful; Gogol later described this as a mistake. In the 1870s Tchaikovsky destroyed the manuscript full score of his first opera, The Voyevoda. During the Soviet period The Voyevoda was posthumously reconstructed from surviving orchestral and vocal parts and the composer's sketches. After Hector Hugh Munro (better known by the pen name Saki) was killed in World War I in November 1916, his sister Ethel destroyed most of his papers. Joe Shuster, who together with Jerry Siegelcreated the fictional superhero Superman, in 1938 burned the first Superman story when under the impression that it would not find a publisher. Books saved from burningEdit  Symbol of the "New York Society for the Suppression of Vice", advocating book-burning In Catholic hagiography, Saint Vincent of Saragossa is mentioned as having been offered his life on condition that he consign Scripture to the fire; he refused and was martyred. He is often depicted holding the book which he protected with his life. Another book-saving Catholic Saint is the Tenth Century St. Wiborada. She is credited with having predicted in 925 a Hungarian invasion of her region in Switzerland. Her warning allowed the priests and religious of St. Gall and St. Magnus to hide their books and wine and escape into caves in nearby hills.[17] Wiborada herself refused to escape and was killed by the marauders, being later canonized. In art, she is commonly represented holding a book to signify the library she saved, and is considered a patron saint of libraries and librarians. At the beginning of the Battle of Monte Cassino in the World War II, two German officers—Viennese-born Lt.Col. Julius Schlegel (a Roman Catholic), and Captain Maximilian Becker (a Protestant)—had the foresight to transfer the Monte Cassinoarchives to the Vatican. Otherwise the archives – containing a vast number of documents relating to the 1500-years' history of the Abbey as well as some 1,400 irreplaceable manuscript codices, chiefly patristic and historical – would have been destroyed in the Allied air bombing which almost completely destroyed the Abbey shortly afterwards. Also saved by the two officers' prompt action were the collections of the Keats-Shelley Memorial House in Rome which had been sent to the Abbey for safety in December 1942. In 1940's France, a group of anti-fascist exiles created a Library of Burned Books which housed all the books that Adolf Hitler had destroyed. This library contained copies of titles that were burned. These book burnings from the Nazis was an idea to help cleanse German culture of Jewish and foreign influences such as pacifist and decadent literature. The Nazis were going to make a "museum" of Judaism once the Final Solutionwas complete to house certain books that were saved by the Nazis themselves.[18] Book burning willsEdit When Virgil died, he left instructions that his manuscript of the Aeneid was to be burnt, as it was a draft version with uncorrected faults and not a final version for release. However, this instruction was ignored. It is mainly to the Aeneid, published in this "imperfect" form, that Virgil owes his lasting fame – and it is considered one of the great masterpieces of classical literature as a whole. Before his death, Franz Kafka wrote to his friend and literary executor Max Brod: "Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread."[19] Brod overrode Kafka's wishes, believing that Kafka had given these directions to him, specifically, because Kafka knew he would not honour them – Brod had told him as much. Had Brod carried out Kafka's instructions, virtually the whole of Kafka's work – except for a few short stories published in his lifetime – would have been lost forever. Most critics, at the time and up to the present, justify Brod's decision. A similar case concerns the noted American poet Emily Dickinson, who died in 1886 and left to her sister Lavinia the instruction of burning all her papers. Lavinia Dickinson did burn almost all of her sister's correspondences, but interpreted the will as not including the forty notebooks and loose sheets, all filled with almost 1800 poems; these Lavinia saved and began to publish the poems that year. Had Lavinia Dickinson been more strict in carrying out her sister's will, all but a small handful of Emily Dickinson's poetic work would have been lost.[20][21] Modern biblioclasmEdit Biblioclasm still occurs. All over the world schools and libraries have been destroyed in recent years. Despite the act of destroying books being condemned by the majority of society, people still participate on small and large scale. In Azerbaijan, when a modified Latin alphabet was adopted, books published in Arabic script were burned, especially in the late 1920s and 1930s.[22] The texts were not limited to the Quran; medical and historical manuscripts were also destroyed.[23]  Book burning in Chilefollowing the 1973 coup that installed the Pinochet regimein Chile.  Copies of books which were burned by the Nazis, on display at Yad Vashem Book burnings were organised regularly in Nazi Germany in the 1930s by stormtroopersto destroy degenerate works, especially by Jewish authors such as Thomas Mann, Marcel Proust and Karl Marx. In the 1950s, over six tons of books by William Reich were burned in the U.S. under judicial orders.[24] In Denmark, a comic book burning took place 23 June 1955. It was a bonfire consisting of comic books and on top of that a life size cardboard cutout of The Phantom.[25] Kjell Ludvik Kvavik, a senior Norwegian official, had a penchant for removing maps and other pages from rare books and was noticed in January 1983 by a young college student. The student, Barbro Andenaes, reported the actions of the senior official to the superintendent of the reading room and then to the head librarian of the university library in Oslo. Hesitant to make public something that would greatly hurt the career of Kvavik even if the accusation proved false, media kept the name of the perpetrator quiet until his house was searched by police. The authorities seized 470 maps and prints as well as 112 books that Kvavik had illegally obtained. While this may not be the large scale, violent demonstration seen during wars, Kvavik's disregard for libraries and books shows that destruction of books on any scale can affect an entire country. Here, a senior official in the Norwegian government was disgraced and the University Library was refunded only a small portion of the costs it incurred from the loss and destruction of rare materials as well as the security changes that had to be made. In this case, the draw of personal profit and enhancing one's own collection was the cause of the defacement of rare books and maps. While the main goal was not destruction for destruction's sake, the resulting damage to the ephemera still carries weight within the library community.[26] The annihilation of the Bosnian National and University Library in August 1992 was led by Serbian nationalist Ratko Mladić. After firing incendiary shells on the library roof, Sarajevans attempted to save the books from the growing flames. As firefighters arrived to help, the nationalists began shooting bullets into the crowd, killing firefighters and cutting off supplies to stop the fire. As the onslaught continued, Bosnian soldiers continued their rescue efforts. The building burned. The Serbian nationalist purposefully targeted libraries and places of cultural significance in an effort to destroy the diverse history and Ottoman legacy within Bosnia. The nationalists laid waste to libraries, museums, and architectural treasures, and within just the National and University library, approximately 1.5 million volumes were lost, including almost 150,000 rare books.[27] In 1984, Amsterdam's South African Institute was infiltrated by an organized group bent on drawing attention to the inequality of the apartheid. Well-organized and ensuring patrons of the library that no harm would come to them, group members systematically smashed microfiche machines and threw books into the nearby waterway. Indiscriminate of the content being destroyed, shelf after shelf was cleared of its contents until the group left. Staff members fished books from the water in hopes of salvaging the rare editions of travel books, documents about the Boer Wars, and contemporary materials both for and against apartheid. Many were destroyed by oil, ink, and paint that the anti-apartheid demonstrators had flung around the library. The world was outraged at the loss of knowledge that these demonstrators had caused, and instead of winning support and getting attention on the issue of apartheid, the international audience cried out against the actions at the Amsterdam's South African Institute. Some demonstrators came forward to explain that they believed the institute was pro-apartheid and that nothing was being done to change the status quo in South Africa.[28] The advent of the digital age has resulted in an immense collection of written work being catalogued exclusively or primarily in digital form. The intentional deletion or removal of these works has been often referred to as a new form of book burning.[29] Some supporters have celebrated book burning cases in art and other media. Such is the bas-relief by Giovanni Battista Maini of The Burning of Heretical Books over a side door on the façade of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, which depicts the burning of 'heretical' books as a triumph of righteousness.[30] In 1973, during the years of the Chilean fascist dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet, hundreds of books were burned as a way of repression and censorship of leftist literature.[31][32] A similar incident also occurred in Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia in 2009. Reported as "just like the ritual burning of books in Nazi Germany", a book-burning ceremony was held by students of the alleged 'cult' Universal Medicine, an esoteric healingbusiness owned by Serge Benhayon. Students were invited to throw their books onto the pyre. Most of the volumes were on Chinese medicine, kinesiology, acupuncture, homeopathy and other alternative healingmodalities, all of which Benhayon has decreed "prana".[33] In 1981, the Jaffna Public Library in Jaffna, Sri Lanka was burned down by Sinhalese police and paramilitaries during a pogrom against the minority Tamil population. At the time of its burning it contained almost 100,000 Tamil books and rare documents.[34] Sikh book burningEdit In the Sikh religion, any copies of their sacred book Guru Granth Sahib which are too badly damaged to be used, and any printer's waste which bears any of its text, are cremated. Such a cremation is called Agan Bhet, and is similar to that performed when cremating a deceased Sikh.[35][36][37][38] Book burnings in popular cultureEdit In his 1821 play, Almansor, the German writer Heinrich Heine — referring to the burning of the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an, during the Spanish Inquisition — wrote, "Where they burn books, so too will they in the end burn human beings." ("Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.") Over a century later, Heine's own books were among the thousands of volumes that were torched by the Nazis in Berlin's Opernplatz.[39] See alsoEdit Banned books Library fires List of book-burning incidents Maya codices ReferencesEdit "Holocaust Encyclopedia: Book Burning".
