Armoured warfare : the South African experience in East Africa 1940-1941Kleynhans, Evert Philippus 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MMil)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Following South African entry into the Second World War on 6 September 1939, the Union
Defence Force (UDF) transformed from an ageing peacetime defence force into a modern
armed force capable of projecting offensive power. During the interwar period a certain state
of melancholia had existed in the UDF in terms of military innovation, which resulted in
muddled thinking in the UDF in terms of armoured warfare and mechanisation. The offensive
potential of armoured forces was simply not understood by the South African defence
planners, with the result that there was only a token armoured force in the UDF in
September 1939.
The South African entry into the war was the impetus for the development of a viable
armoured force within the UDF, and the South African Tank Corps (SATC) was established
in May 1940. Changes in both the nature and organisational structure of the South African
defence establishment followed. The Italian presence in Abyssinia and Italian Somaliland
was seen as a direct threat to the neighbouring British East African territories, and South
Africa deployed to Kenya during June 1940, soon after the Italian declaration of war.
The South African deployment to East Africa was the first deployment of the UDF in a
situation of regular war since the First World War. Despite the doctrine that underpinned the
South African deployment of armoured forces in East Africa, the SATC units soon learned
that the accepted doctrine, borrowed from the British War Office during the interwar period,
was but a mere guide to offensive employment. The story of the South African deployment to
East Africa during the war is used as a lens through which to investigate the role and
employment of both the UDF armoured cars and light tanks. By separately discussing the
Allied offensives through Italian Somaliland and southern Abyssinia during 1940-1941, the
tactical and operational employment of the South African armour during this time becomes
paramount when evaluated against their successes and failures. The nature of the opposing
Italian forces in East Africa, the ever-changing topography and climate of the theatre of
operations, and the nature of the South African offensive operations throughout the
campaign, all combined to shape the novel way in which the armoured cars and tanks of the
SATC were employed throughout 1940-1941. The operational experiences that the UDF
gained during the campaign in East Africa shaped the further deployments of South African
armour to North Africa, Madagascar and Italy during the remainder of the war. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Na Suid-Afrika se toetrede tot die Tweede Wêreldoorlog op 6 September 1939, het die
Unieverdedigingsmag (UVM) verander vanaf ‘n verouderde vredestydse weermag na ‘n
moderne mag met offensiewe projeksievermoëns. Gedurende die tussenoorlogperiode het
‘n gevoel van swaarmoedigheid in terme van militêre inovasie in die UVM geheers. Die
resultaat hiervan was verwarde denke ten opsigte van pantseroorlogvoering en
meganisasie. Die Suid-Afrikaanse verdedigingsbeplanners het nie die offensiewe potensiaal
van pantsermagte verstaan nie. Die gevolg was dat die UVM in September 1939 slegs oor
‘n simboliese pantsermag beskik het.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse toetrede tot die oorlog het die stukrag vir die ontwikkeling van ‘n
lewensvatbare pantsermag binne die UVM verleen. Gevolglik is die Suid-Afrikaanse
Tenkkorps (SATK) in Mei 1940 gestig. Veranderinge in beide die aard en organisatoriese
struktuur van die Suid-Afrikaanse verdedigingsinstellings het gevolg. Die Italiaanse
teenwoordigheid in Abessinië en Italiaans-Somaliland is as ‘n direkte bedreiging vir die
aangrensende Britse Oos-Afrika gebiede gesien. In Junie 1940, kort na die Italiaanse
oorlogsverklaring, is Suid-Afrikaanse magte na Kenia ontplooi.
Die UVM ontplooiing na Oos-Afrika was die eerste in ‘n gereelde oorlogsituasie
sedert die Eerste Wêreldoorlog. Ten spyte van die doktrine wat die Suid-Afrikaanse
ontplooiing van pantsermagte na Oos-Afrika ondersteun het, het die SATK-eenhede gou
geleer dat die aanvaarde doktrine, ontleen aan die Britse Ministerie van Oorlog gedurende
die tussenoorlogsjare, slegs ‘n gids was tot offensiewe aanwending. Die storie van die Suid-
Afrikaanse ontplooiing in Oos-Afrika gedurende die oorlog, word as ‘n lens gebruik waardeur
die rol en aanwending van beide die UVM se pantserkarre en ligte tenks ondersoek word.
Die geallieerde offensiewe deur Italiaans-Somaliland en suidelike Abessiniȅ gedurende 1940
– 1941 illustreer duidelik dat die taktiese en operasionele aanwending van die Suid-
Afrkaanse pantsermagte gedurende hierdie tydperk van groot belang was vir die suksesse
en mislukkings van die veldtog. Die aard van die opponerende magte in Oos-Afrika, die
voortdurend veranderende topografie en klimaat van die operasionele teater, asook die aard
van die Suid-Afrikaanse offensiewe operasies gedurende die veldtog, het gekombineer om
die unieke manier waarop die pantserkarre en tenks van die UVM van 1940 tot 1941
aangewend is, te vorm. Die operasionele ervarings wat die UVM opgedoen het gedurende
die Oos-Afrika Veldtog, het die verdere ontplooiings van Suid-Afrikaanse pantser na Noord-
Afrika, Madagaskar en Italiȅ gedurende die res van die oorlog gevorm.

From overalls to aprons? The paid and unpaid labour of southern Alberta women, 1939-1959Bingley, Lindsey, University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science January 2006 (has links)
Canada's declaration of war in 1939 resulted in the creation of a "total war"
economy that necessitated the absorption of all available men, and led to the wide scale
recruitment of women into the military and labour force. The end of the war resulted in
government and media encouragement to return to the home, but despite this emphasis on
home and family, many women developed a two-phase work history. In this thesis, I use
the oral history of sixteen Southern Alberta women to analyze the effect of World War II
on Southern Alberta women's work and family choices, focusing specifically on the
years between 1939 and 1959. I argue that, although the war did not significantly change
the status of women in the paid workforce, it did affect the geographic mobility of
women and the perception of their own work, both paid and unpaid. / vi, 181 leaves ; 29 cm.

Our victory was our defeat : race, gender and liberalism in the union defence force, 1939-1945.Chetty, Suryakanthie. January 2006 (has links)
The Second World War marked the point at which South Africa stood at a crossroads between the segregation which came before it and apartheid that came after. Over the past twenty years social historians have placed greater focus on this particular period of the Second World War in South Africa's history. This thesis takes this research as its starting point but moves beyond their more specific objectives (evident in the research on the war and medical services) to explore the South African experience of race and gender and, to some extent, class during the war and the immediate post-war era. This thesis has accorded this some importance due to the state's attempts, during and after the war, to control and mediate the war experience of its participants as well as the general public. Propaganda and war experience are thus key themes in this dissertation. This thesis argues that the war and the upheaval it wrought allowed for a re-imagining of a new post-war South Africa, however tentatively, that departed from the racial and gendered inequality of the past. This thesis traces the way in which the exodus of white men to the frontlines allowed white women to take up new positions in industry and in the auxiliary services. Similarly for the duration of the war black men — and women - were able to take advantage of the relaxation of influx control laws and the new job opportunities opening up to move in greater numbers to the urban areas. As this thesis has shown, black men were able to take advantage of the opportunity to prove their loyalty by enlisting in the various branches of the Non-European Army Services. This allowed them to work alongside white men and was integral in their demands for equal participation which signified equal citizenship. The way in which the war has been remembered and commemorated as well as the expectations and silences around the potential for liberation which the war symbolised for many South Africans, has been largely unexplored. This was pardy due to the memorialisation of the war taking on a private, personal and hence, hidden aspect. This thesis examines this memorialisation in its broadest sense, particularly as it applies to black men, their families and their communities. The thesis concludes by arguing that, by 1948, the possibilities for a new South Africa had been closed down and would remain so for almost fifty years. The Second World War was relegated to personal memory and public commemoration as the "last good war", a poignant reminder of a vision of equality which was not to be. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Kwazulu-Natal, Durban, 2006.

"Death to all fascists! liberty to the people!" : history and popular culture in Yugoslavia 1945-1990 / Death to all fascitsTurković, Dajana. January 2006 (has links)
This essay analyzes the changing portrayal of Yugoslavia's World War II experience in music, film, and literature. It argues that the disappearance of unifying themes from the cultural sphere opened the doors to the popularization of controversial and divisive subjects. Shifting perceptions of how Yugoslavs fought and survived the Second World War contributed to the destruction of Yugoslavia. / The first chapter focuses on World War II in Yugoslavia. The second chapter discusses the early development of Yugoslav culture and its dependence on the Second World War. The third chapter follows the development of Yugoslav culture through the 1960s and 1970s when political liberalization promoted greater freedom in the arts. Aside from inspiring artists to address new themes and approach old themes from a fresh perspective, it also permitted the stirrings of political dissent. The fourth chapter addresses the disappearance of the Yugoslav idea from the cultural realm during the 1980s.
