Students,
Today we put on the hat of a Soviet Spy investigating persons of interest that participated in WWII.

Douglas McArthur was born January 26, 1880. He was a republican. He earned a medal of honor for his bravery after he got his troops to Bataan after his air force regime was destroyed by a surprise Japanese attack. His men almost died in the Bataan peninsula but finally got out alive. He was the superintendent of West Point, chief staff of army, field marshall of the Philippines. He was also the senior general. He helped in the demobilization of Japans military force, the restoration of the economy, and the building of a new constitution. He was also part of the army that liberated the Philippines. He was a highly respected general and was thought of to be a superior leader, very important to the United States. He would be very high on the kill list by the Soviet High Command. He was a very deadly leader.
ReplyDeleteChester William Nimitz was born in 1885. He is a republican from Fredericksburg, Texas. After the attack of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Nimitz was selected as the United States Pacific Fleet's commander in chief. In 1942 he was put in charge of the Pacific Ocean Areas, and soon the US was stopping the Japanese advances. In the Philippines, his strategies turned back powerful Japanese fleets in the Battle for Leyte Gulf, October 24, 1944.
ReplyDeleteOn September 2, 1945, Nimitz represented the United States when Japan surrendered. Because of his strategic war decisions, he is a person who needs to be taken out by a Soviet Spy so he doesn't destroy the USSR.
Omar Bradley was born on Feb. 12, 1893 in Randolph Country, Missouri. He is a republican. He was the General of the U.S. Army and commanded the 12th Army Group, which was the largest group of American soldiers under 1 field commander. His first army captured the city of Cologne. He had used Eisenhower’s successful Allied offensive (from March 1945) to move through German defenses, crossing the Rhine. Bradley was also part of planning Operation Cobra, which consisted of bomb attacks on German defenses at Normandy, which was a success. His successful command for his army to continue moving the American forces forward through German lines had helped the U.S. greatly during WWII. Due to his part in Operation Cobra and his command that moved American forces faster through German lines, he would have to be stopped by one of us, Soviet spies, so his forces won’t take over the USSR.
ReplyDeleteDwight D Enisenhower is a potential enemy for our cause. This man is the 34th president of America and was born in January 20, 1953. This Dutch Republican served in the Army and had many titles during WW2 such as the 1st Supreme Allied Commander Europe, 16th Chief of Staff of the Army, and 1st Governor of the American Zone of Occupied Germany. Now as for contribution to the war effort, he was in charge of Operation Torch. His successful invasion of France and Germany came from the Western Front in 1944-45. Do not be caught of guard by his baby-looking face for he has a steel spine and will exploit that weakness. For mother Russia
ReplyDeleteDoes our dossier need to be in complete sentences or can it be like bullets, also is there a way to attach a picture of our sketch? Or can we just like email you a google docs?
ReplyDeleteDouglas MacArthur, born January 26, 1880, was a republican general in the military. During World War II, he was commander of the Allied forces during the Pacific theater. Mac Arthur won the Philippine, New Guinea, and Borneo Campaigns by leading the forces. (1941-1945) Additionally the amount of awards granted onto MacArthur is summed into the Medal of Honor, Purple Heart, and the Bronze/Sliver Star. Douglas MacArthur is a vital target for the organization to eliminate; his destruction will prevent the enemy from gaining the upper hand in our endeavors of domination.
ReplyDeleteWell hello my fellow KGB agents, I have been creating a dossier for the man by the name of George. S. Patton. I have found few things concerning our plan to plot against America. George was born in the 19th century on the date of November 11th 1885 he is also a republican. He has fought in World War 1 and 2 and was in control of the 1st and 2nd armored division. He has had many successes but his greatest one is when he took 100,000 miles in 1945 helping liberate Germany from Nazi control, he was also successful in the Battle of El Guettar in March 1943. With this information he is of high concern to Mother Russia he is of high threat so be on alert he is highly dangerous but if possible he could be a huge help in training our troops but just remember, he is highly dangerous. Stay well my fellow KGB and if you need anymore help just contact me. For Mother Russia!!!
ReplyDeleteВы думаете, что вы можете из русский меня , щуплый американский самозванец ? Вы пытались проникнуть в советскую шпионскую сеть , говоря английский . Мать Россия смеется над вами.
DeleteGeorge S. Patton was born on November 11, 1885. His family was republican and he voted Republican, but he was not seen as a “political general.” During WWII he first took part in the African Campaign, commanding the Western Task Force, which was the only purely American force in Operation Torch -- the Allied invasion of North Africa. Operation Torch was successful. He then took part in the Sicily Campaign, where he commanded the Seventh Army during the July 1943 invasion of Sicily. This was successful as well and restored Sicily to its citizens. In 1944 Patton was given command of the Third Army which began fighting in France on D-Day and covered six hundred miles before liberating the Buchenwald concentration camp. By the end of WWII they had liberated or conquered 81,522 square miles of territory, and were integral in liberating Germany from the Nazis. In October of 1945 Patton assumed command of the Fifteenth Army, which was occupying Germany. He received 2 Distinguished Service Crosses, 3 Distinguished Service Medals, 2 Silver Stars, a Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart. He was very skilled at tank warfare and is considered one of the most successful American field commanders ever.
ReplyDeleteDouglas McArthur was born on January 26, 1880 in Little Rock Arkansas. He was part of the Republican Party. In 1925, he became the Army's youngest general. He operated in the Pacific and took part in the Philippine and New Guinea Campaign.
ReplyDeletePhilippine- McArthur was on active duty in the US army as a major general and was named commander of the U.S Army Forces (USAFFE).
New Guinea- Japan incaded Australian administered territories of the New Guinea Mandar. The Allies cleared the Japanese first from Papua, then the Mandave, and finally from the Dutch colony.
After the Philippine campaign, McArthur began the long campaign to smash Japanese Military Power in the Pacific. McArthur's forces eventually won substantial victories. He served during the World War I in the Western Front as a Brigadier General. He was at that time commissioned as the Chief Of Staff of the 42nd ‘Rainbow’ Division and was awarded for his distinguished services. During World War II, he played a pivotal role in The Pacific War. He commanded the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific and took over the occupation of Japan. On December 8, 1941, his air forces were destroyed and the Philippines were invaded by the Japanese. At the West Texas Military Academy he was the recipient of a gold medal for ‘scholarship and deportment’. He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Army Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star and Navy Distinguished Service Medal. In 1962, he received the Sylvanus Thayer Award for his ‘outstanding service to the nation’. Douglas McArthur was a very skilled general and respected leader that was determined for the US to get rid of the Japanese presence in the Pacific, which he accomplished doing.
Chester Nimitz was born on February 24, 1885 in Fredericksburg, Texas. He is a republican. Nimitz has many major victories including successfully organizing his forces to halt the advance of the Japanese. He was most directly responsible for the Allied Victory. Nimitz attacked the Mariana Islands and defeated the Japanese. In 1945 Nimitz signed for the United States when Japan surrendered. Nimitz has no major defeats. He has received many awards including Fleet Admiral and the Distinguished Service Medal with three gold stars from the President. He was very important and a threat to the Soviet High Command.

George S. Patton was born on November 11, 1885. He like many others, was a republican. He first participated in the North African Campaign to help plan the invasion of French North Africa in 1942 as part of Operation Torch. He later took part in the Sicily Campaign where he commanded the Seventh United States Army. During 1943 Sicily was successfully restored to its citizens.In 1944 Patton came under control of the Third Army. The Third Army quickly advanced intro France on D-Day and helped to liberate thousands of miles of territory. Patton's forces also played a key role in stopping the German counterattack in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge. Come early 1945 his forces crossed the Rhine River and played an important role in liberating Germany of the Nazis. He recieved 3 Distinguished Services Medals, 2 Victory Medals, a Legion of Merit, a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, 2 Silver Stars, a Silver Lifesaving Medal, and an American Defense Service Ribbon.

Analysis of importance to the United States:
He was a Five Star General, the highest ranked military office in the US and the Phillipines so he would therefore be of a high threat level to the Soviets and a Major Asset to the United States.
George S. Patton was born November 11th 1885 in San Gabriel California.
ReplyDeleteBelieved that it was a civic duty to vote and he voted Republican.
Military Career
Patton Organized and trained the 1st and 2nd U.S. armored divisions in the Californian dessert starting in December 1941. Patton headed the American Forces in northern Africa in late 1942. With his formable aggression and philosophy of battle “We shall attack until we are exhausted, and then we shall attack again." won him the first major allied victory against the Nazi led forces in the battle of EL Guettar march 1943. Patton also led the 7th U.S. army division to victory at the invasion of Sicily, Italy. After slapping a shell shocked soldier thinking he was just a coward turned his reputation a little sour, alas ending his participation in the North African and Italian theater. Even though he was deeply saddened for not being directly part of the D-day invasion of Normandy earned his reputation back doing something equally as important. Publicly and deliberately assigned command of a fictitious force in south eastern England (supposedly preparing for an invasion) With the German command distracted by a phantom invasion of Pas de Calais, France, helped allied forces avoid the bulk of Germany's attention.
Awards
I could say how Patton won a bunch of shiny metals like the Legion of Merit, or a Purple Heart, but he will be truly remembered for his ultimate award being nicknamed “old blood and guts” by his troops for his drive and determination.
Importance to the United States
Patton was one of the most skilled generals ever to fight for the U.S. in Armored war fare. Patton was instrumental in the liberation of the world of the Nazi- Regime.
USSR THREAT Detection rating 11 out of 10
Patton is a pioneer in armored war fare if we fight him he might discover how to fight us in the winter!!! Communism is not safe with people like Patton around; the USSR must capture this general and kill him before he gets any ideas.
Omar Bradley was born February 12, 1893 and associated himself with the Republican party. Bradley participated in the European theatre of the second world war, leading Operation Cobra (a bombing plan during the Normandy invasion), as well as leading the victory at Mortain where he formed the "Falaise Pocket" which successfully trapped 2 German armies, and lead the brunt of the American troops during the Battle of the Bulge (until he was sidelined by Eisenhower). For his participation, he was awarded several medals and commendations such as the Luxembourg War Cross and the British Honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath award. Bradley seems to be a huge military asset to the United States' military. He is to be on consistent watch and should be primarily targeted.
ReplyDeleteDwight D. Eisenhower was born on October 14th, 1890, and is a Republican. During his military career, he has participated in/ lead Operation Torch, D-Day, and Operation Overlord. One of his major victories was when he lead the allied attack on the Germany-occupied France. He has earned numerous awards, like the Legion of Merit. Due to his presidencial standing, he is a high value person, and any information on him is highly sought after. Eisenhower is a major threat,
ReplyDeleteName: Chester W. Nimitz
ReplyDeleteDOB: February 24, 1885, Fredericksburg, Texas
Political Alignment: unaligned, many military officers did not claim alignment as to serve their country regardless of leadership.
Participation in WWII:
Campaigns: Pacific Theatre, promoted to Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet and Pacific Ocean Areas Dec. 31, 1941.
Major Victories: Battle of Midway, Coral Sea
Major Defeats: None listed
Decorated as a five-star Fleet Admiral
A calm and rational leader, Nimitz is a master strategist. His primary responsibility in his sphere of control in the Pacific Theatre was the defense of American naval outposts in the Pacific, supply lines between the United States and the Hawaiian Islands, and the South Pacific supply route between the United States and Australia. His personal convictions are that commanders must choose capable subordinates, define their objectives and provide the means to achieve those objectives, but should not interfere overly much in the conduct of individual operations, as the local commander knows the situation better and will know what actions to take. Conscientious of both personnel and equipment, his strategy relies on risks calculated for maximum effect with minimum losses. Against the USSR, his formidable strategy would be a weapon of devastating power and an advantage to the Americans, and he should be considered a major threat accordingly.
