South German Offensive The South German Offensive is the general name of one of the final offensives of World War II in Europe. The offensive was led by the Seventh and Third armies of the United States along with the First Army of France. Soviet troops linked up with American forces in Czechoslovakia notably in the Battle of Slivice. The offensive was made by the US 6th Army Group to protect the US 12th Army Group's right flank and to prevent a German last stand in the Alps. However German resistance was much more fierce than in the north, which slowed the 6th Army Group's progress. However, by the end of April, many German divisions surrendered without a fight to the advancing American forces to avoid the inevitable destruction. The VI Corps of the Seventh Army linked up with the US Fifth Army, which fought through Italy, in the Alps as the Third Army advanced into Austria and Czechoslovakia, where it linked up with Soviet forces advancing from the east. Fighting continued a few days after the Surrender of Germany on 8 May, due to German forces fighting west to surrender to the Americans instead of the Soviets.
Operation Quicksilver (deception plan) Operation Quicksilver was a Second World War military deception. Undertaken by the Allies in 1944, the operation threatened an invasion of France in the Pas de Calais region through the simulation of a large Field Army in South East England. Quicksilver formed part of the Operation Fortitude deception, itself part of the strategic Operation Bodyguard plan. The key element of Quicksilver was the creation in German minds that "First United States Army Group" (FUSAG) commanded by General George Patton supposedly would land in the Pas-de-Calais for the major invasion of Europe, after the landings in Normandy had lured the German defenders to that front. (FUSAG was a genuine army group headquarters which later became Omar Bradley's 12th Army Group, but was given a fictitious role and many non-existent divisions for purposes of deception.)

Wanyan Chonghou Wanyan Chonghou (October, 1824 – 1893) was a Qing dynasty official and diplomat, said to have been a lineal descendant of the Imperial House of the Jin dynasty (1115–1234). Graduating as juren, he became a Taotai in Zhili in 1858, and in 1861 Superintendent of Trade for the three northern ports, to reside at Tianjin. He was occupying this post when the Tianjin Massacre occurred on the 21st June, 1870. Of all actual connivance at or participation in this tragedy he was doubtless innocent, though with a stronger man in power it would most likely not have taken place. He was sent to France with a letter of apology, which he handed to Adolphe Thiers, being undoubtedly the first Chinese official of any rank who had ever visited the west. On his return in 1872 he was appointed Vice President of the Board of War and a member of the Zongli Yamen. In 1874 he was Vice President of the Board of Revenue, and in 1876 he was sent as acting General of Shengjing, replacing his brother, Wanyan Chongshi, who had died that year. In 1878 he proceeded as Ambassador to St. Petersburg, and negotiated the Treaty of Livadia, by which a large portion of Ili was ceded to Russia. In 1880 he was denounced by Li Hung-chang and Zuo Zongtang, nominally for returning without leave; and also by the then Censor Zhang Zhidong for having exceeded his powers. He was cashiered and arrested, and finally sentenced to death. For some time it was feared that he would lose his head. The foreign Ministers did all in their power to effect his release, but in vain. At length Queen Victoria interposed on his behalf; and in response to her letter he was pardoned, upon which he retired into private life. He died in 1893, of creeping paralysis; and in 1894 his rank was restored, less two grades. He was extremely courteous to foreigners, and was much liked by all foreign officials with whom he was thrown into contact.

Lieutenant en second Lieutenant en second was a junior officer rank in the French Royal Army prior to the French Revolution. Like most of the officer ranks in the Royal Army, it was dominated by nobles. High-ranking nobles entering military service during their teenage years would serve in the rank at ages as young as 15 or 16 years old before rapidly being promoted. One such example was Louis des Balbes de Berton de Crillon, duc de Mahon, who joined the Régiment du Roi (King's Regiment) in 1734, aged 16, as a "lieutenant en second" before being promoted the following year to "lieutenant en premier". Lesser nobles would stay in the rank for longer, while the few commoners who had been able to become officer of fortune might remain as "lieutenants en second" until they died or retired.
Lynn Turner (murderer) Lynn Turner (July 13, 1968 – August 30, 2010), born Julia Lynn Womack, was an American convicted murderer. In 1995, her husband, Glenn Turner, died after allegedly being sick with the flu. In 2001, the death of what had been described as her common law husband, Randy Thompson, under remarkably similar circumstances, aroused the suspicion of law enforcement. After investigation, it was determined by authorities that Lynn Turner had murdered both her husbands by poisoning them with ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. She was tried for Glenn Turner's murder in 2004. She was found guilty and went to trial again for murdering Randy Thompson in 2007, ultimately being convicted. Turner died in prison on August 30, 2010. The cause of death was an apparent suicide by toxic overdose of blood pressure medication.

MSG Gary Gordon and SFC Randy Shughart volunteered to try to protect the pilot from the mob; while Durant was severely injured, he survived, but Gordon and Shughart did not, and were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for their bravery. Durant became a prisoner of Somali warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid for 11 days.
Jean-Baptiste du Casse Jean-Baptiste du Casse (August 2, 1646 – June 25, 1715) was a French buccaneer, admiral, and colonial administrator who served throughout the Atlantic World during the 17th and 18th centuries. Likely born August 2, 1646, in Saubusse, near Pau (Béarn), to a Huguenot family, du Casse joined the French merchant marine and served in the East India Company and the slave-trading Compagnie du Sénégal. Later, he joined the French Navy and took part in several victorious expeditions during the War of the League of Augsburg in the West Indies and Spanish South America. During the War of the Spanish Succession, he participated in several key naval battles, including the Battle of Málaga and the siege of Barcelona. For his service, he was made a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece by King Philip V of Spain. In the midst of these wars, he was Governor of the colony of Saint-Domingue from 1691-1703. He ended his military career at the rank of Lieutenant General of the naval forces (the highest naval military rank at the time in France, equivalent of a modern vice-admiral) and Commander of the Royal and Military Order of Saint Louis. He died on June 25, 1715 in Bourbon-l'Archambault, Auvergne.
