This Day in History
1699:
The Treaty of Karlowitz ends the war between Austria and the Turks.
1863: General Joseph Hooker assumes command of the Army of the Potomac following Ambrose Burnside. 1942: American Expeditionary Force lands in Northern Ireland. 1943: The first OSS (Office of Strategic Services) agent parachutes behind Japanese lines in Burma. 1945: Soviet troops enter Auschwitz, Poland, freeing the survivors of the network of concentration camps. Auschwitz was a group of camps, designated I, II, and III. There were also 40 smaller "satellite" camps. 1945: The most decorated soldier of WWII, American Lt. Audie Murphy, is wounded in France. Perhaps as interesting as his service record and later film career was his public admission that he suffered severe depression from post traumatic stress syndrome, also called battle fatigue, and became addicted to sleeping pills as a result. This had long been a taboo subject for veterans. 1951: U.S. warships bombarded Inchon for the second time during the war. The first was during the initial allied invasion, Sept. 15, 1950. 1953: Surface ships blasted coastal targets as the USS Missouri completed a 46-hour bombardment of Songjin. 1953: The last F4U Corsair rolled off the Chance Vought Aircraft Company production line. Despite the dawning of the jet age, this World War II fighter remained in production due to its vital close-air support role in the Korean War. Almost 12,000 Corsairs were produced in various models. 1970: U.S. Navy Lt. Everett Alvarez Jr. spends his 2,000th day in captivity in Southeast Asia. First taken prisoner when his plane was shot down on August 5, 1964, he became the longest-held confirmed POW in U.S. history. Alvarez was released in 1973 after spending over eight years in captivity. |

I will put one of the greatest commander as Wei Qiang, a chinese general who lead the Chinese army victory over the Huns, and his nephew Huo Qubang. Both used few soldiers than the army but is able to overcome a larger enemies.
