Breakout At Stalingrad

Breakout At Stalingrad

Lieutenant Breuer is a German soldier in the Sixth Army, and they are the leaders in an attack on the Russian city of Stalingrad. All of their commanders have given them confidence that the war would end here and that they would be home early. However, the combat turns brutal for Lieutenant Breuer as the stiffening Soviet resistance turns the promised easy victory into a violent and bitter urban conflict of attrition, and in a Soviet attack, the entire Sixth Army is surrounded in the ruined city. To make matters worse the supplies being flown into the city are constantly getting shot down, and the terrible Russian winter is threatening to freeze all of the soldiers trapped in Stalingrad while the Red Army attacks.

The novel was written by Heinrich Gerlach, who was a German soldier during the Second World War and fought on the Eastern Front. His last battle for him was the Battle of Stalingrad. There he got captured by the Red Army and was sent to a Soviet prison camp. In captivity, he wrote the novel The Forsaken Army, which was the first version of Breakout at Stalingrad. Upon his release in 1949, the novel got taken off of him. 50 years later, Carsten Gansen found the original novel in Moscow Archives. It got published as Breakout at Stalingrad. In my opinion, the book is great, and perfectly shows the horrors of war. Heinrich Gerlach was a great author who wrote an amazing book.

Context:

The Battle of Stalingrad was the largest battle in history. It was fought from August 1942 till February 1943. It was the largest battle in world history, with over 1.8 million personnel killed in the conflict. It was the culmination of the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet term for the eastern front. The Great Patriotic War was characterized by its unprecedented ferocity, wholesale destruction and giant loss of life. The Great Patriotic War began when Germany launched an invasion of the Soviet Union. The Red Army was unprepared, and at the end of 1941, German forces were at the gates of Moscow, but the terrible Russian winter and new Russian tactics and equipment, such as the T-34 Main Battle Tank and Bm-13 Katyusha halted the attack. The German forces were driven back by ferocious attacks by the Red Army. The following year, instead of attacking Moscow again, the German High Command decided to attack the Caucuses, because this area was less defended and full of oil. One of the locations to attack was the city of Stalingrad. The sixth army attacked Stalingrad and the bitter conflict lead to tens of thousands of dead. The Red Army surrounded the city, trapping the German Sixth Army inside. After experiencing another horrible Russian Winter, the Red Army took the offensive and the German Army surrendered. The Red Army fought the German Army again at Kursk, one of the largest tank battles. The Soviets won, and after this conflict, the Red Army had Victory After Victory until the Battle of Berlin, where Hitler committed suicide and the Germans surrendered ending the Great Patriotic War.

Jimmy 9 Fabric Project

9FAB                                      Term 1 2018           

You will use the technology cycle to plan your project.

You will identify an issue, opportunity, need or desire.

My issue/opportunity/ need/ desire is to make a product out of soft materials.

Key Stakeholder   

My key stakeholder is myself

Miss Chapman

Brief

You are going to make a Soft Materials product, either a pencil case or soft toy or pillow or similar.

Specifications

Must be

• Well made
• Completed by the end your module - Term 2 week 5
• Be made with materials available

Research

Find at least 3 images on the internet of projects that you might like to do, place them in the boxes below and answer the questions.

What I like: The shape and design	What I like: The design and the pattern on the shape	What I like: That multiple slots together
What I don’t like: The engines would be hard to make	What I don’t like: How complicated the pattern is	What I don’t like: The time to make
What I would change: The design to make it a TU-95	What I would change: Make it more simple	What I would change: Make only a few to fit together

Initial ideas draw up at least 2 ideas using color pencils or felt on an A3 piece of paper. Add notes/swatches/ images of materials and finishings you might use.

Specifications

Now add your own specifications e.g color, size, fabric type

• Black fluffy fabric/White nonfluffy fabric
• Electric Guitar Shape
• Strong with a bamboo pole in it.
• 40 cm high
• 15/20 cm wide

Conceptual statement

I am going to make a Guitar for myself. It will be used for display

Stakeholder feedback- get feedback from a classmate, the teacher or a caregiver on your designs using the questions from your research above. Get them to write down (record) their answers on the A3 sheet.

Final Concept- decide on one of your ideas or modify/ combine ideas using your stakeholder feedback.

Make notes on your A3 sheet or draw up a new sketch.

Evaluation-

My project was a success. It was made to be a decorative object for my room.
In the end, my project looked like the paper designs I made for my project.

The only thing I would change is that I would use a more durable fabric for the back of the body because it wasn’t very strong. On the other side of things, I could use a
Gantt chart enough to keep my project on track enough to be completed early.
I completed my paperwork and had finished my project.

Magnesium Experiment - Burning into MgO

Everything is made of atoms. Atoms are bonded together to make compounds. Atoms are “pure” substances and compounds are combinations of these pure substances. Atoms are made of three parts, Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. The Protons and Neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom. The Electrons are orbiting around the nucleus. When to atoms bond, electrons are given from one atom to another. Sodium Chloride (Salt) is made of Sodium and Chlorine. The Sodium gives the Chlorine it’s lone electron and becomes positively charged. The Chlorine is negatively charged.

Another Chemical reaction is the burning of Magnesium to make Magnesium Oxide.

Mg + O2  -> MgO

Silver Solid + Colorless gas + Heat -> White Powdery Substance.

Magnesium burns brightly to form Magnesium Oxide. The light is used in fireworks to make them bright. Once the Magnesium is burnt into Magnesium Oxide, it is nearly impossible to rip the Oxygen atoms off and make pure Magnesium.

Difficult, But not impossible.

IF ATTEMPTING THIS EXPERIMENT, DON'T LOOK AT THE BURNING MAGNESIUM DIRECTLY. YOU MAY BE BLINDED.
